After he was recorded shouting at film set employees for breaking COVID-19 restrictions, Tom Cruise has reportedly purchased two robots designed to patrol the set of Mission Impossible 7 when it resumes film next week, The Sun reports.
The robots, which can reportedly administer on-the-spot COVID-19 tests, were purchased by Cruise. It’s unclear what kind of robots they are, but The Sun cites a source who describes them as “really sophisticated and rather intimidating. It’s like the Terminator only not as violent.”
“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,” The Sun’s source said. “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 sympathised with him.”

Cruise isn’t the only person employing COVID-19 testing robots in Hollywood. CBS has reportedly expressed interest in renting or purchasing lab-certified disinfection bots used in more than 500 hospitals worldwide.
The Sun’s report doesn’t clarify what kinds of robots Cruise has acquired, but judging from the source’s comment, it’s a step or two beyond a stationary machine.
