Tom Cruise jets into UK just before quarantine cut-off to resume Mission Impossible filming

Hollywood actor Tom Cruise managed to fly into the UK just hours before the Government’s 14-day coronavirus quarantine rule came into effect. 

The 57 year-old landed in the UK on Sunday evening and so is allowed to start filming the new Mission Impossible movie without self-isolating. 

A source told The Sun: "It’s no accident Tom arrived on Sunday night — they didn’t want their leading man locked away on his own for 14 days.

“There have already been so many delays to the film and everyone is keen to get it up and running at the first possible second - so slipping in before the quarantine rules came in on Monday made sense.”

Cruise reportedly made the 11-hour flight from Clearwater, Florida to Biggin Hill airport outside London. 

He is set to use a helicopter to fly him back and forth from his rented London flat to the film set.

This will be the seventh Mission Impossible film, set to be released in November 2021, three months after the original release date.
