Tom Cruise may need to fire himself from Mission Impossible 7 after seemingly being rumbled for wearing a mask on set that offers little to no protection from Covid-19. The pint-sized 58-year-old actor unleashed a volcanic eruption of anger at two crew members of MI:7 for breaching Covid health and safety by standing less than two meters apart earlier this week.

A recording of his explosive outburst revealed him threatening to sack anyone that refused to follow Covid-19 rules to the letter - and his fury was so extreme that five members of crew are reported to have quit in protest. However, the A List star has been spotted wearing a ‘protective’ mask on the set of Mission Impossible that America’s Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has warned offers no protection at all.
