Hollywood star Tom Cruise took an 11-hour flight to the UK to escape the new 14-day self-isolating quarantine rule of that country, so that he could directly resume shooting of "Mission: Impossible 7". According to the new directive, anyone visiting the UK from abroad will now have to go through a period of 14 days in isolation as a preventive measure to avoid spread of coronavirus.

According to The Sun, the 57-year-old reportedly landed at Biggin Hill airport outside of London on Sunday -- day before the quarantine rules would be imposed -- and that is why he is free to resume filming of the new "Mission Impossible" movie, reports dailymail.co.uk.
