Tom Cruise cuts a laid-back figure as he heads out for a stroll in Venice during a break from filming for Mission Impossible 7
He’s been putting in the hours to finish his work on Mission Impossible 7.
But Tom Cruise took a much-needed break from the set on Friday as he headed out for a stroll in Venice.
The actor, 58, was in good spirits as he donned a black face mask to enjoy a solo outing in the Italian city.

Tom wrapped up in a cosy black padded jacket and a matching mask as he headed out for an evening walk.
The action star waved to onlookers as he exited his hotel as he prepared to complete filming on the blockbuster.
Last week, Tom reportedly held crisis talks with Mission Impossible 7 director Christopher McQuarrie days after 12 people on set reportedly tested positive for COVID-19.

Health chiefs were said to be tracing the contacts of those who tested positive after filming was suspended, dashing hopes it was an isolated case.
It appeared to be yet another blow for the action movie franchise after filming was suspended earlier this year during the first European wave of coronavirus when cases rose sharply in Italy.
The actor and the director, who worked together on previous Mission Impossible movies and Jack Reacher, were deep in conversation at their luxury base in the city, days after the situation came to light, but filming has now been allowed to continue with production restarting on Monday.

Earlier this year, filming for the upcoming action movie was halted in Italy after cases of coronavirus rose sharply.
The crew and actors headed to Norway to film ever since, before returning to Italy to continue with scenes once it was safe to do so.
It was reported this summer that Hollywood legend Tom hired a £500,000 ship for the film’s crew in Norway to avoid any coronavirus-related delays.
Filming had already been delayed for months after COVID-19 spread across Italy, where production had been based in March, leading the release date to be pushed back to November 2021.
