Tom Cruise halts ‘Mission: Impossible' shoot after lashing out at crew members

American actor Tom Cruise has been getting criticized after he furiously lashed out at crew members for breaking COVID-19 guidelines. 

After his profanity-laced tirade against crew members of Mission: Impossible 7 was leaked recently, the Top Gun actor stirred up quite a storm.

And in order to deal with the entire debacle, the actor has now reportedly taken some time off and halted the filming.

According to The Sun, Cruise decided to conclude the filming process early and to fly to Miami to spend Christmas with his son Connor.

A source spoke to the outlet, saying: “It has been exhausting keeping the production on track for so long, and it’s not getting any easier – Christmas can’t come soon enough.”

“It’s the end of a really tough year, and a bit of time out seems like a good idea for everyone as tensions have been mounting for a while,” said the insider.

Following his expletive-ridden rant, five crew members quit the project last week.
