Hours after Tom Cruise's alleged bombshell audio emerged, fellow Hollywood heavyweight George Clooney has revealed what he thinks about the entire ordeal. 

On Tuesday, Dec. 15, The Sun leaked an audio recording purportedly of Cruise screaming at members of the Mission: Impossible 7 crew. E!

When contacted by NBC News, a spokesperson for Paramount Pictures declined to comment. E! News has also reached out to Cruise's rep for comment and has not heard back.
