TOM Cruise is living the high life in London while filming the new Mission: Impossible – staying in a two-storey penthouse in the incredible Corinthia Hotel.
The movie star’s £335,000-a-month rental is in a block of 12 luxury apartments previously owned by The Queen – and is just down the road from 10 Downing Street.
The idyllic four-bedroom penthouse boasts a huge roof terrace with breath-taking views of the River Thames and the London Eye.
The stunning outdoor entertaining space also features an sleek firepit, chic white all-weather furniture and a life-size chess set should he get bored of London’s skyline.
The apartment has four large bathrooms, which are lavishly decorated with Calacatta marble, mirrored sinks and vanities.
After a long day on set, Tom can relax in one of the three living rooms with neutral-coloured walls and sofas.
The three spaces, which boast lots of natural light, featured dark wood coffee tables and eye-catching pendant lighting.
Following an evening unwinding at home, Tom can venture up his spiral staircase to rest his head in the lavish master bedroom.
The room is most definitely a calming space and a relaxing colour palette of greys and whites.
The penthouse also has access to the Corinthia Hotel and all its incredible amenities including its luxurious spa with indoor pool.
Tom can treat himself to spa treatments spread over four floors and can indulge in a spot of retail therapy at the hotel’s own boutique version of Harrods or dinner at top chef Tom Kerridge’s restaurant.
The Sun revealed earlier this week that five staff had quit the new Mission: Impossible film after he erupted on the set for a second time.
Over the weekend, the actor let rip after two crew breached Covid rules by standing too close together.
Another eruption followed on Tuesday night as news of his rant emerged.
A source said: “The first outburst was big but things haven’t calmed since. Tension has been building for months and this was the final straw. Since it became public there has been more anger and several staff have walked.
“But Tom just can’t take any more after all the lengths they have gone to just to keep filming at all. He’s upset others aren’t taking it as seriously as him. In the end, he’s the one who carries the can.”
Delays have blighted the franchise’s seventh instalment.
Cruise, 58, who plays Ethan Hunt and is a producer, has pumped a fortune into Covid measures including hiring a cruise ship so staff can isolate.
In October, he held crisis talks with director Christopher McQuarrie days after 12 people on set in Italy were said to have tested positive.
Since returning to the UK two weeks ago, Cruise has been pictured wearing a mask on set.
In his first rant, he warned the 50-strong crew they’d be “f***ing gone” if they ignored guidelines.
He also told staff at Warner Bros. Studios, Herts: “We are creating thousands of jobs you motherf***ers.”
A source said: “Tom has taken it upon himself to try to enforce precautions with a view to keeping the film running.”
But Spencer MacDonald, of entertainment union Bectu, said: “After a very difficult year for freelancers working in the industry the last thing crews deserve is a multi-millionaire Hollywood star screaming abuse and threatening their jobs.”
