Mission: Impossible stars all smiles as they flout red carpet rule

• At the Cannes premiere of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, Tom Cruise and the cast took selfies on the red carpet.
• This violated a Cannes Film Festival rule implemented in 2018 to prevent the "trivial aspect" of selfies from detracting from the event's prestige.
• The rule was put in place to protect the “quality” of the red carpet and film festival as a whole.
• The cast's selfie, captioned "Mission: Selfie. Accomplished," suggests they were aware of the rule.
• This incident follows recent controversy over Cannes' updated dress code banning nudity and long trains.
