American actor, Tom Cruise has reportedly splurged on two high-tech robots to enforce coronavirus safety protocols on the set of “Mission Impossible 7”
A source told the Sun: “Tom is so serious about making sure the shoot isn’t shut down that he’s splashed out on these robots as he can’t be everywhere to ensure people are behaving themselves,”
Recall that Tom Cruise made the headlines for a while after shouting at two staffs for flouting COVID-19 safety protocols after he has spent millions to move the production to a former tank design base in Longcross in Surrey.

While filming at Leavesden in Hertfordshire, Cruise went ballistic when the two workers stood too close together.
“If I see you do it again, you’re f–king gone! And if anyone in this crew does it, that’s it — and you too and you too! And you, don’t you ever f–king do it again!” the actor was heard yelling in a leaked audio clip.
“Yes, the rant that came out last month may have been a bit over the top, but he was right, and those who saw the story sympathized with him,” the source told The Sun.
“He gets paid a lot for these films but he also knows that he is lucky to be working and staff on the film from top to bottom rely on this film going ahead. You don’t have to go far to see how just how much the pandemic has affected jobs,” the person continued.
“The robots are really sophisticated and rather intimidating. It’s like the Terminator only not as violent,” the source added.
