Last month it was revealed Cruise ranted at two crew who were standing within two metres of each other at Warner Bros Studios.
As revealed by a source to 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."
“The robots are really sophisticated and rather intimidating. It’s like the Terminator only not as violent,” the insider added.
Cruise's move has come after a leaked audio of went viral in which he could be heard lashing out at the crew members of his movie Mission: Impossible 7.
Taking a brief pause at the moment, filming for Mission: Impossible 7 is scheduled to resume in the U.K. this week with further filming to take place in Dubai.
