Tom Cruise has reportedly been forced to hire "heavy protection" after he and director Christopher McQuarrie allegedly received death threats from a former employee.
The Hollywood star, 60, and award-winning filmmaker, 53, are said to have enlisted the services of heavy-duty bodyguards and a security team after a crew member for Mission: Impossible 8 was let go.
The former employee is also thought to have begun litigation toward Tom, Christopher and Paramount Studios and has made accusations about Russian oligarchs financing Tom's work.
