For those who don't remember, the star and producer was angry virtually those not following Covid-nineteen protocols. And now, he's finally talking about it.

Keeping it cursory, the star told Empire magazine that "I said what I said," and that "At that place was a lot at pale at that bespeak."

Don't remember what Cruise said? According to the LA Times, Cruise was caught on tape proverb "I'one thousand on the phone with every f— studio at dark — insurance companies, producers. And they're looking at us and using us to make their movies. We are creating thousands of jobs, yous motherf—."

And it didn't cease in that location, with three more F-bombs in the drop: "I don't ever desire to see it again — ever," Prowl said earlier threatening "And if I see you exercise it once more, you're f— gone. And if anyone on this crew does it, that's information technology. ... No apologies. Y'all tin can tell information technology to the people that are losing their f— homes because our manufacture is shut down. ... That's what I sleep with every night: the futurity of this f— industry."

Cruise's explanation for why he went so nuclear? He claims he was "very emotional" thinking virtually the chance of Mission: Impossible 7 production getting put on hiatus again. His words to Empire — "All those emotions were going through my mind. I was thinking about the people I work with, and my industry," — basically reiterate the audio captured on prepare, just without the profanity.
