A new video edits Tom Cruise's COVID rant and Christian Bale's on-set temper tantrum into one hilarious argument. Cruise was in the headlines recently for his behavior while shooting Mission Impossible 7. The star was recorded yelling at crew members who broke safety protocols, allegedly because they were standing close to each other, with masks on, while watching a monitor. Cruise threatened to fire the crew members who broke the rules.
Some have supported Cruise's rant, including George Clooney, who says that, while he doesn't agree with the method, he agrees with the sentiment. Others, like Leah Remini, have called out Cruise for the toxic behavior, labeling it as a publicity stunt. Hollywood is no stranger to this behavior, as evidenced by this edit. Bale's own on-set rant while shooting Terminator Salvation went viral in 2009. The profanity-laced meltdown recalls Cruise's behavior.
A new video posted by The GOAT Movie Podcast cuts the two meltdowns together. The video finds Bale returning Cruise's yelling, with Bale appearing to fire back at the actor as he yells at crew members. Hilariously, the argument sounds real, with Bale's audio lining up perfectly with Cruise's own yelling. The edit finds Bale asking for Cruise to be removed from the set in a perfect bit of Hollywood meltdowns transcending time to be eerily similar.
Even if this kind of behavior is common in Hollywood, that doesn't mean it should be. The message behind Cruise's rant may be important—the actor emphasizes his role in ensuring the safety of the cast and crew of Mission Impossible 7—but his method is quite toxic. Quite frankly, no one should treat their employees like that, especially when in positions of power like the one Cruise holds. Even though, in the recording, Cruise eventually calmed down and rationally made his point, the anger remains.
Hollywood has been rocked by COVID-19, with many productions facing fits and starts as they attempt to film in a new world that has the industry reeling. Mission Impossible 7's massive production, which encompasses multiple countries, has faced its own delays because of COVID and Tom Cruise is largely responsible for getting it back off the ground—the actor has gone as far as purchasing a cruise ship so the cast could isolate together. Even with a lot riding on the film for Cruise personally, his behavior, while hilarious in the video above, is another example of the toxic egos of Hollywood's leading men.
