Simon Pegg and Pom Klementieff enjoy a break after filming Mission Impossible 7 in Venice

They play side by side in the upcoming blockbuster Mission Impossible 7.

And Simon Pegg and Pom Klementieff looked in good spirits as they took a break from filming in Venice, Italy on Monday.

The actors appeared to be making videos with their phones as Simon, 50, could be seen filming his co-star, 34, reading a newspaper and blowing a kiss.

At one point, French beauty Pom appeared to run through a flock of birds while Simon also filmed her as she pretended to fall.

The actress cut a trendy figure for the day, donning a purple and red tartan dress with short sleeves and a white collar.

In keeping with her vintage look, Pom wore her locks in a flip style and she also sported a black headband.

Wearing a pair of black sunglasses, the actress completed her outfit with matching kitten heels.

Simon stayed casual for the day, wearing a blue t-shirt and green sweatpants as he filmed the star on his phone.

Earlier this month, Simon co-star Tom Cruise had crisis talks with Mission Impossible 7 director Christopher McQuarrie, days after 12 people on set reportedly tested positive for COVID- 19. Filming has since resumed.

Health chiefs have reportedly traced the contacts of those who tested positive after filming was suspended, strongly hoping it was an isolated case.

It seemed like another blow to the action movie franchise after filming was suspended earlier this year during Europe’s first wave of coronavirus when cases rose sharply in Italy.

The actor and director, who worked together on the previous Mission Impossible and Jack Reacher films, were in the middle of a conversation at their luxury base in the city, days after the situation was revealed, but filming has now been allowed to continue with the restart of production. Monday.

In October, The Sun reported that 150 extras for the film had been told they were not to come and shoot scenes that were on the evening’s filming schedule.

While no official reason was given for the sudden move, it was claimed that a coronavirus test came back positive from production, so filming was to be temporarily suspended.

A source speaking to the publication said: ‘There are around 150 extras involved in the shoot and on Thursday night they were all told not to show up for work and they would be notified when they would be allowed to come back on the tray.

“ No official reason has been given, but there are concerns that this is due to COVID and this will be the second time that production has been affected due to the virus. ”

Crew also urged members of the public to stay socially estranged from each other while waiting to see the stars, while Tom and director Christopher have also reportedly made the request.
