Why is this rich straight white man worried about creating jobs for other people? We know rich people don't care about poor people. Once a grifter, always a grifter /s

Yep, he's right. And I'm not even talking about the effectiveness of said protocols, but about being one of the few still open because they're following protocols to be allowed to function.
The responsibility here is not even about Covid, but about staying on the clear and able to function.

Pretty much. One slip up and you have The Batman delayed whoever knows how long.
It's not like he's bitching about people having a cell phone on.

Seems like Miscavige is rubbing off on him. Hell hath no fury like a Scientologist scorned.

lol i thought he was a nice guy. there is no reason to go off like this. just fire the folks and be calm. no need to throw a hissy fit.
Lame.
Lame.
He’s trying to avoid firing them.

Cruise is infamous for his melt downs.
No one should lose it but if your going to lose it, this is a solid reason to do so.

Sure, Karen.
Agree with Cruise here, given how strictly these films are being run at the moment. Any screw-up means a ripple down the line, with everyone being out of work, and the theater tradition being even more imperiled. You might not like it, I don’t, but it’s the reality.
Honestly, I think it’s cool he has that perspective. As someone else mentioned, you wouldn’t expect it from someone in his position.

At the end of the day if those selfish twats continue to break Covid protocol the film will be shut down, and many people would lose their jobs.
It's a serious issue and he's not wrong.

He and the director literally rented out a private island to get this film finished.
There's impacting the bottom line and then there is trying to save the industry and making sure people have jobs so they can support their families.
His anger here is absolutely justified.

It's Hollywood - I might try and muster up a tear but would probably blow out a heamharroid in the process

He wants people to forget that time he looked like a clown, sharing an awkward video of him visiting a theater to watch Tenet back in August lol

Agreed. Anybody insulting him is an uneducated slob.
There's more at stake than "you" you fucking morons.
Well done Tom.

Someone like Cruise has the platform to singlehandedly rescue the industry he's watching collapse by exposing the PCR test fraud. Props to him for playing by the rules and protecting his baby as fiercely as he does, I could see myself behaving that way if I were in his shoes, but being so obedient and unquestioning is why everyone's in this mess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He's trying to slap them into shape because sometimes that's what it takes to understand the severity of the situation. Maybe it was an overreaction, I have no idea. I do not know how many times Cruise asked them politely to follow protocol before going off on them.
What I do know, is that as a boss, whose hard work is responsible for thousands of jobs on the line, that their production, which is being held up as an example of "how to do it right", is being heavily scrutinized. If they fuck up at all, they have to shut down and that has real consequences for all the people who need those jobs. It takes a team effort to uphold the rules, and if a few selfish dumbasses break the rules, that could have catastrophic consequences for all the working men and women down the supply chain.
That's not something the Cruise Missile wants on his conscience, his biography, or his balance sheet.

Scientologists believe in masks?
Considering he broke his foot doing his own stunts for the last Mission Impossible film and did a PSA for against motion smoothing on TVs, Tom Cruise seems particularly passionate about what he does and the industry in general.
Its better to be caught caring about keeping people working by obeying health protocols than the opposite.

Apparently he's not completely lost touch with reality.

Stuck their dicks in his fruit salad. Personally I think he went easy on them.

Tom Cruise shows his caring side by offering private jet to injured worker on set of his latest film
With the man unconscious and initially believed to be paralysed, caring Tom alerted his private pilot who primed the jet to transport him

Yeah, I wasn’t even trying to be a dick either. I just thought they had an entirely different take on people getting sick and medicine.

Forgive me and my myopic views. I got out of the look at me phase after my 1st divorce and being legally separated from an entity I created.
I wish him the best of luck. Can't wait to see what he says at 42.
