DELAY TOM’S MOVIE SHOOT

SHEEPISH Tom Cruise has outwitted countless foes while playing hero Ethan Hunt, but he finally met his match — he had to shut down filming of the eighth Mission: Impossible movie when a flock of sheep wandered onto the English countryside set!

Instead of barking orders as he has been reported doing in the past, Cruise treated the unexpected ovine visitors with kid gloves as they grazed on the grass and the cast and crew cooled their hoofs.

The 60-year-old Top Gun was even seen trotting out of the way of the lounging livestock, although a few muttonheads felt fleeced by the delay and were probably thinking, “Baa, humbug!”

Tom’s woolly woes ended when the sheep finally ambled off and his filmmaking mission was once again possible.

Cruise and crew stopped filming as a flock moved through!
