Prince William is apparently a Tom Cruise fan. So Cruise reportedly treated him to an early showing of Top Gun: Maverick, the long-awaited sequel to 1986’s Tom Gun. The movie star apparently hosted a special screening at an IMAX cinema near London’s Leicester Square for William—and Kate Middleton, Sophie Wessex, Princess Eugenie, and Princess Beatrice.
According to The Sun, “It’s a very unlikely movie premiere, but Tom made the offer after learning William is a fan. They happily accepted. Let’s face it, guests don’t get much more A-list!” Per the publication, Cruise was there to welcome them to the screening, but didn’t stay.
William has been the president of the BAFTAs since 2010, a role he took over from his grandfather Prince Philip. In his capacity as BAFTA president, he has attended numerous film premieres over the years—including, most recently, the premiere of the latest James Bond film in September 2021.
Cruise has met multiple members of the British royal family over the course of his acting career, including Prince Philip in 2017 and Princess Diana in 1992.
Reportedly, Diana took Prince Harry and Prince William to set to watch the making of Mission Impossible.
Her former chef, Darren McGrady, said in a video tribute on what would have been her 60th birthday, “She came into the kitchen one morning and said, ‘Darren, we’ve had an invite to go and watch the making of Mission Impossible at Pinewood Studios in London, for me to take William and Harry.”
Later, “She came into the kitchen later that day and she’d been and the boys absolutely loved it—all those explosions and things. She came in, picked up some fruit, walked out and didn’t say anything. But as she was walking out, she said, ‘That’s another one off the list. He’s too short.’ She’d met Tom Cruise!”
Top Gun: Maverick will officially premiere at Cannes Film Festival next month, a release that has been delayed by the COVID pandemic.
