Tom Cruise finally joined Instagram and we can't help but stare at this fire

Everyone's second favorite Scientologist (behind Golden Globe winner Elisabeth Moss) is now on Instagram.

Tom Cruise, welcome to the party. We guess.

SEE ALSO: Tom Cruise teases 6th 'Mission: Impossible' with death-defying stunt

So far Cruise's only two posts promote his upcoming Mission Impossible film. His bio reads "Actor" (a stretch). "Producer" (I mean technically sure). "Running in movies since 1981" (at least he's self-aware). 

No amount of exclamation marks can convey my excitement for this historic moment. I care so much about Tom Cruise and his new, promotional Instagram . Wow! Look at that helicopter!

Already Cruise has nearly 600k followers, but among them Mimi Rodgers, Nicole Kidman, and Katie Holmes are noticeably absent. I recommend following any of them on Instagram before Cruise.

Tom Cruise Joins Instagram—and Reveals Mission: Impossible 6 's Title

"i can't wait for you guys to see more," the actor says.

Tom Cruise, Instagram

At long last, Tom Cruise has joined Instagram . In his bio, Cruise describes himself as such: "Actor. Producer. Running in movies since 1981." Cruise promoted his Instagram on Twitter, (where he has 6.6 million followers—and, at the moment, he isn't following any other accounts.

The 55-year-old movie star, who racked up over 550,000 followers in under an hour, kicked things off with a big announcement. Sharing a picture of a film slate, he revealed the title of Mission: Impossible 6 will be Mission: Impossible – Fallout . "Get ready," he said. For his second update, he shared an official film still, showing him hanging out of a helicopter. "We've upped the ante for the sixth #MissionImpossible," he pledged. "I can't wait for you guys to see more." Cruise joined Instagram days after his ex-wife, Nicole Kidman , also launched a verified account.

Mission: Impossible – Fallout will be released on July 27, 2018, and will be the first film in the franchise to be released in Real D 3D. The summer blockbuster will also be released in IMAX 3D.

Written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie , Paramount Pictures' Mission: Impossible – Fallout also stars Alec Baldwin , Angela Bassett , Sian Brooke , Henry Cavill , Rebecca Ferguson , Sean Harris , Vanessa Kirby , Michelle Monaghan , Simon Pegg and Ving Rhames . Last summer, production was put on hold after Cruise broke his ankle while performing a stunt. While Cruise did not address his injury, the film studio told E! News in a statement, "Tom wants to thank you all for your concern and support and can't wait to share the film with everyone next summer."

Tom Cruise Embarks on His Next Mission Impossible: Instagram

And he’s already ‘gramming.

Tom Cruise Joins Instagram — And Teases Mission: Impossible 6: 'Get Ready'

You hear that sound? It’s a cry of despair as a group of “influencers” and “tastemakers” realize their increasing lack of social media importance. Why? Because Tom Cruise just slid into Instagram smoother than he slid into that living room in Risky Business .

Cruise has become the latest prominent man about town to join Instagram, debuting his account on Thursday as a clever means of promoting his upcoming film Mission: Impossible—Fallout . As of press time, Cruise has ‘grammed two photos of behind-the-scenes action, although only one of the snaps is him jumping out of an airplane. (Should be both, frankly.) He also has the requisite short-and-cheeky bio in place: “Actor. Producer. Running in movies since 1981.”

Interestingly, although for wholly separate reasons, Cruise has become one of many A-listers to suddenly join Instagram this month. Despite strictly swearing off social media in the past, Natalie Portman debuted her Instagram page on New Year’s Day as a means of supporting the Time’s Up movement, entirely dedicating her account to taking action against workplace sexual assault and inequality. Cruise, however, is taking more of a fun, “hey, fans” approach, sort of like other recent stars who joined Instagram, like….Well. Never mind .

View on Instagram

As for Cruise—and for the sake of some well-informed speculation—his foray into the world of Instagramming comes at an opportune time, to be honest. While his Mission: Impossible franchise has always been popular and bankable at the box office, his 2017 slate of films wasn’t, uh, hugely successful. His take on The Mummy got slammed by critics around the world and was declared a box office bomb; and although his other film, American Made , was received far more kindly by critics, it didn’t make a huge splash at the box office as intended.

You heard it here first: 2018 will be the year of Cruise.

Tom Cruise Joined Instagram — and His First Post Revealed the Name of the Sixth ‘Mission: Impossible’ Movie!

Where Does Kathie Lee Gifford Live? Photos of Nashville Home

It’s about time, Tom Cruise ! The actor finally joined Instagram on Thursday, Jan. 25, quickly racking up over half a million followers in just a few hours. He kept his bio short and to the point, saying, “Actor. Producer. Running in movies since 1981.” His first two posts were about the upcoming Mission: Impossible film, the sixth installment of the franchise, and they revealed the best details about it — including the name of the film! Watch the video below to see his first Instagram posts!

Now that the name is known, fans of the beloved franchise can look forward to its release on July 27, 2018. The Mission: Impossible films have been a staple in theaters since 1996, when the original movie premiered, and has seen large box office success throughout the years. This time around, Christopher McQuarrie is returning as writer and director, and the film has a star-studded cast. Obviously, Tom stars as agent Ethan Hunt, but the sixth movie will also see the likes of Alec Baldwin , Angela Bassett , Sian Brooke, Henry Cavill, Rebecca Ferguson, Sean Harris, Vanessa Kirby, Michelle Monaghan, Simon Pegg, and Ving Rhames.

Last August, Tom made headlines for injuring himself while performing a stunt for the film, bringing production to a halt. He’s famously known for doing his own stunts for all of the Mission: Impossible movies, but this time, he broke his ankle while trying to jump from a scaffolding onto an adjacent building. He misjudged the mark and ended up slamming into the side of the building, breaking his ankle in the process. Ouch!

“During production on the latest Mission: Impossible film, Tom Cruise broke his ankle while performing a stunt. Production will go on hiatus while Tom makes a full recovery, and the film remains on schedule to open July 27, 2018,” Paramount Pictures said in a statement to E! News . “Tom wants to thank you all for your concern and support and can’t wait to share the film with everyone next summer.” Luckily, Tom made a speedy recovery and production on Mission: Impossible — Fallout resumed. With the summer blockbuster’s release date quickly approaching and the name revealed, we’re just waiting for the first official trailer now!

25 Things I’d Like to See From Tom Cruise’s New Instagram

Portrait of Hunter Harris

Last week, Tom Cruise joined Instagram . This is something we all should’ve gotten a push notification about: legitimately megafamous, almost pathologically charismatic movie star Tom Cruise is now among the rest of us, clamoring for likes, comments, and #sponsored posts. Go ahead, scroll through your feed: There’s Tom Cruise, star of Risky Business , Oprah’s couch, and 1,000 Mission: Impossible s, right beside influencers, Glossier models, and Armie Hammer’s tracksuits . This feels like an extremely random, but welcome, milestone in these topsy-turvy times. We’ve known Tom Cruise for so long — and been curious about him for even longer — and now we’re right there, in his tight jeans’ pocket. Personally, I love it.

However, I am less than thrilled about the choices Tom Cruise has made since sharing his first photo, a snap of the Mission: Impossible 6 clapper, one week ago . In the days since, he’s given us a series of M:I 6 stills and two clips from his appearance on The Graham Norton Show . I expected more from a man literally famous for his movie-star stamina and tendency to forget about boundaries entirely. Where are the throwbacks? A family photo with his two kids with Nicole Kidman? Some smug Matt Lauer shade ? A hi-res video of him dancing to Yung Joc on BET ?

When I asked a friend (who recently — and also quite randomly — texted me to say that she still thinks Tom Cruise is pretty hot) what she expected from Tom Cruise’s Instagram, she suggested the following: “Dance videos and him appreciating black women the way robert de niro does.” That’s a good start. But there’s so much more we should be asking for. Below, I’ve outlined 25 things that I, personally, need from Tom Cruise’s Instagram.

1. I would like Tom Cruise to test my accurate theory that he gives better performances in movies when he’s wearing full bangs ( Risky Business , American Made , and Magnolia because he had long hair) than when he has short hair ( The Mummy ).

2. A video of himself eating micro-livestock .

3. Enough running! How about a photo of a brisk, early morning fast walk?

4. A video of himself dancing to “ Bootylicious .”

5. Pages from the Top Gun sequel that will certainly happen and is not just a diversion tactic that comes up whenever Tom Cruise gets bad press.

6. A Bible study, for real this time .

7. Live commentary of The Arrangement .

8. “You can’t handle the truth!” in varying pitches, on a loop.

9. “Show me the money!” in varying pitches, on a loop. (Personally, I’d like to see this one as different kinds of whispers.)

10. A video of himself listening to Cardi B’s verse on “Motor Sport,” really vibing to “Why would I hop in some beef? When I could just hop in a Porsche.” And then cut to Tom Cruise saying, “Porsche. There is no substitute.”

11. A photo set of his empty mantle, increasingly zoomed in with each photo. Caption: That’s where my Magnolia Oscar should be.

12. A good #tbt .

13. A photo of him lounging on a couch, with an appropriate dad joke, like, “Not a lotta couch jumping these days.”

14. His Raya profile.

15. Footage of him dancing at another wedding .

16. A screenshot of this very important piece of journalism , with the caption “Very important piece of journalism. @henrycavill have you seen?”

17. Evidence — maybe a sneaky screenshot? — that Elle Fanning bullies his War of the Worlds co-star Dakota.

18. Dinner with his ex-publicist Pat Kingsley ! We love a reunion.

19. A Phantom Thread GIF. Caption: “Lmao PTA u wild for this one.”

20. Glossier unboxing — I feel like Tom Cruise uses the Super Serum after long days on set. Look at those pores.

21. Xenu selfie.

22. Screenshot of reports of Big Little Lies season two, captioned with “Idk bout this …” Not because he doesn’t support Nicole Kidman, but because it was called a limited series for a reason , people.

23. A video detailing his friendship with Kanye .

24. Lunch with Ansel Elgort, who is the only person who can come close to matching Tom Cruise’s press tour stamina.

25. The Dark Universe cast photo , a failed franchise that lives forever in our hearts .

Tom Cruise joins Instagram and he already has over 500,000 followers

Tom cruise shared two snaps from the upcoming mission impossible film.

Emmy Griffiths

Tom Cruise has joined Instagram! The Minority Report actor is the latest celebrity to be using the social network to share snaps and give his fans an insight into his life. The star signed up to the app on Thursday, and has already shared two photos where he gave a behind-the-scenes look at filming his upcoming film, Mission Impossible 6. His first post was a black-and-white photo of a slate from the set, and he captioned the shot: "Get ready. #MissionImpossible."

Tom shared a look at the Mission Impossible 6  set 

His second photo showed him in action on set as he stood on the side of a helicopter. He wrote: "We've upped the ante for the sixth #MissionImpossible. I can't wait for you guys to see more." His fans were quick to respond to the photos, with one writing: "Yay!!! Can't wait to see you in the sixth #MissionImpossible," while another added: "Welcome to Instagram Tom Cruise." Tom recently returned to filming after  breaking his ankle in a stunt gone wrong back in August.

At the time, Paramount Pictures released a statement which read: "During production on the latest Mission: Impossible film, Tom Cruise broke his ankle while performing a stunt. Production will go on hiatus while Tom makes a full recovery, and the film remains on schedule to open July 27, 2018. Tom wants to thank you all for your concern and support and can't wait to share the film with everyone next summer." It appears that filming resumed in January, after the star was spotted performing stunts on the roof of Blackfriars station. The 55-year-old looked to be on fighting form as he ran across a roof away from a helicopter, while his skills were watched by a crowd of onlookers.

Tom Cruise just joined Instagram — and he's already posting first looks from the new 'Mission: Impossible' movie

  • Tom Cruise finally joined Instagram Thursday morning.
  • His first two posts tease his next "Mission: Impossible" movie.
  • The star revealed the name of the next movie will be "Fallout."
  • Cruise also teased a stunt with him hanging from the side of a helicopter.

Tom Cruise joined Instagram Thursday to tease a first look at the next "Mission: Impossible" movie out this summer.

Cruise revealed the name of the sixth movie in the franchise will be "Fallout" with a simple caption, "Get Ready."

Get ready. #MissionImpossible A post shared by Tom Cruise (@tomcruise) on Jan 25, 2018 at 5:00am PST Jan 25, 2018 at 5:00am PST

The 55-year-old actor also teased his next big death-defying stunt by showing a photo of him hanging off the side of a helicopter.

We’ve upped the ante for the sixth #MissionImpossible. I can’t wait for you guys to see more. A post shared by Tom Cruise (@tomcruise) on Jan 25, 2018 at 5:03am PST Jan 25, 2018 at 5:03am PST

"We’ve upped the ante for the sixth  #MissionImpossible . I can’t wait for you guys to see more," Cruise captioned the photo.

The 55-year-old actor has famously committed to doing his own stunts in movies. For the last movie, "Rogue Nation," Cruise trained to hold his breath under water for about six minutes . He also held onto the side of a moving plane . Hanging off the side of a helicopter in the new film? No big deal. 

According to Paramount, "Fallout" will reunite Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and the Impossible Missions Force agency (Alec Baldwin, Simon Pegg, and Ving Rhames) "in a race against time after a mission gone wrong." Henry Cavill and Angela Bassett will join the cast.

Since joining Instagram, Cruise already has over 500,000 followers.

"Mission: Impossible — Fallout" is set to hit theaters July 27, 2018. We're hoping for the first trailer to arrive in the coming weeks.

Tom Cruise’s Craziest Stunt Yet: Playing Instagram Boyfriend for His Mission: Impossible Costars

tom cruise insta

By Kenzie Bryant

Tom Cruises Craziest Stunt Yet Playing Instagram Boyfriend for His Mission Impossible Costars

We’ve seen Tom Cruise jump from here to nowhere on a motorcycle . We’ve seen him cruise at altitude, battling the intense G-forces of a fighter jet . We’ve seen him make crashing in a plane look very real by allowing zero gravity to knock him around a little. We’ve seen him scale cliffs in Utah, the  tallest building in the world, Burj Khalifa in Dubai , and the side of an Airbus as it took off. We’ve seen that guy skydive more times than we can count, though that has not stopped someone from keeping track . 

But Tom Cruise doing the trepidatious work of playing Instagram boyfriend? Intense! Shocking! Shakes you to your core! Here he is, on the Seoul red carpet of the film Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One getting the shot for costars Vanessa Kirby, Hayley Atwell, and Pom Klementieff.  

Atwell posted a convenient “moment versus the shot” mash-up on her own account. He’s Tom Cruise, so he goes the extra mile, squatting down low, making it physical. Take a look:

Instagram content

This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from.

How did he do? I’m no art critic, but I’d say, fine. A little low, a little washed out, but I don’t know. We’ve moved on past that perfect Instagram aesthetic anyway, right? Cruise himself deemed it “good,” and he knows red-carpet photos having been on, hm, several over the years.

Tom Cruise joins Instagram to promote 'M:I 6,' but here's what we really want him to post

On the heels of ex-wife Nicole Kidman’s Instagram debut, Tom Cruise has joined . For a split second, that sounded exciting as we rushed to the photo app to see his first post. Would it be: a nearly nude bathroom selfie like Kim Kardashian’s latest ? A video of him using the giant lips filter that all the celebs have been loving? A #healthie of his latest workout? Nope. It was two photos promoting his next film, Mission: Impossible — 5,678 . (Or, more accurately, M:I — Fallout , the sixth installment in the series.)

Get ready. #MissionImpossible A post shared by Tom Cruise (@tomcruise) on Jan 25, 2018 at 5:00am PST
We’ve upped the ante for the sixth #MissionImpossible. I can’t wait for you guys to see more. A post shared by Tom Cruise (@tomcruise) on Jan 25, 2018 at 5:03am PST

Clearly, we were a bit disappointed. Despite being one of the biggest superstars in the world, Cruise doesn’t have much of a social media footprint. He’s been on Twitter for a few years, but it’s largely a vehicle to promote things. The most personal messages are posted by “TeamTC,” which means maybe he signs off on them, but probably not. We can’t imagine his famous fingers awkwardly typing: “New exclusive Edge Of Tomorrow videos are almost here. Learn how you can help unlock them.”

New exclusive Edge Of Tomorrow videos are almost here. Learn how you can help unlock them: http://t.co/oSb1shQbwv — Tom Cruise (@TomCruise) May 5, 2014

Most of the posts don’t even pretend that they’re from him. This one talks about the “work & training Tom puts in2 action roles.”

Here's a glimpse from Collateral in2 the weeks/months of work & training Tom puts in2 action roles http://t.co/m7Ziyvx8 pic.twitter.com/uqhyltZ8 — Tom Cruise (@TomCruise) September 10, 2012

The last time he posted, prior to today, on Twitter and Facebook, was September. And it was to promote a project.

The thing about Instagram, though, is it’s supposed to be a snapshot of a moment in someone’s life. Twitter is about the character count, but the ’Gram tells a visual story. While Kidman was a late adopter of Insta , preferring Facebook instead, she started off with a bang on Jan. 9, the morning after the Golden Globes. The Big Little Lies star shared an amazing personal photo after shutting down a Globes party. (Go, girl.) She’s since given her 476,000 followers a first look at her glam prior to the Casting Society of America Awards , some couple cuteness with hubby Keith Urban , and even an inspirational quote on MLK Day . We’re all in for that stuff.

Similarly, Will Smith joined recently — on Dec. 14 — and we aren’t sure how we lived without him before that. His first photo was a duck-lip selfie , and he’s also given us glimpses of life with Jada , took us courtside at the Australian Ope n, and the throwbacks . Oh, the throwbacks . It’s clear why he already has 5.7 million followers.

May we put a little bug in Tom’s ear by asking him — and his team — to step it up. While he’s pulled in a whopping 634,000 followers in just hours (sorry, Nic!), it’s not cool to join Instagram just to promote a project. That’s lame. He should do it to show his real life, which has been closely guarded since his abrupt split from Katie Holmes in 2012. So here are our thoughts on what he probably won’t post but should:

1. Take us through the halls of the Scientology Centre. We all know he’s a bigwig in the controversial organization. If it’s all on the up and up, as he’s maintained, show us what it’s really like. Like, Instagram Stories it hard. Pull back that curtain. Selfie with David Miscavige — or, better yet, Miscavige’s wife . Go live behind the scenes of the Sea Org. Is Leah Remini wrong? Prove it.

2. Show us who he’s dating. The thrice-married Cruise is never single. (Remember when he reportedly auditioned Sofia Vergara to be his new lady?) Who’s the lady in his life these days? Show us the love notes he sends her — like A-Rod and J.Lo . Post a couple selfie in the back seat of his car on the way home from date night.

3. Let us see his time with Suri. There’s speculation about whether or not he still sees his daughter with Holmes . End it. Show us their cute bowling adventures , like Katie does. Or baking sessions . We’d eat it up.

4. Make light of his infamous couch jumping. An amazing #TBT would be Cruise posting his Oprah couch jump. Or, better yet, reenact it — as a Boomerang. Yesssss .

There’s so much else we’d like to see — family moments with Isabella and Connor, a peek at his fighter plane (has he renamed it from Kiss Me Kate?) and shots behind the gates of his many mansions, a funny #TBT of his ultrasound machine collecting dust in a corner, and a silly shot of a fake prosthetic butt just to make us laugh. But let’s start there. From our lips to … The Person Who Is Posting His Instagram Photos’ ears.

AI Reimagines Tom Cruise As Marvel & DC Superheroes - The Results Are Perfect

Tom Cruise smiling at premiere

Hollywood may not yet have found a place for Tom Cruise in a DC or Marvel movie, but that hasn't stopped fans from dropping him in the dream roles they'd love to see him handle. Esh-El ( @esheffects ), whose Instagram bio reads, "Exploring the fusion of art and artificial intelligence," pondered what Cruise might look like if he were to be cast in a superhero movie, leading to a post featuring a collection of iconic heroes as played by the "Mission: Impossible" star.

The first image is Cruise as Captain America, which seems like a pairing that hasn't been pushed by fans enough. Both are legendary heroes who don't seem to age and are often seen hanging from helicopters or dodging traffic on a motorbike at high speed. Others depict Cruise in equally celebrated roles, including Superman and Batman. He's also shown as Green Lantern, one of the  five characters Cruise should play in James Gunn's DCU . Esh-El even proves that if the actor wanted to, he could pull off some younger crime fighters as well. Almost.

Tom Cruise is a dream as Nightwing but brings back nightmares as Spider-Man

Not to state the obvious, but Tom Cruise has a few years on  Nightwing , aka Dick Grayson. The former Boy Wonder is around his mid-20s, which would make things difficult for an actor in their 60s — although that doesn't stop Cruise from looking awesome in Nightwing's domino mask. Another entry that seems almost a perfect fit, but just ever so slightly off, is the Flash. Sure, Cruise might be the fastest film star alive, but the longer you look, the more former Flash Grant Gustin starts staring back through Esh-El's work. Similarly, Green Arrow also posits an option for Cruise, demanding the kind of physical role the action star is known for, but he too is in his mid-20s (and blond).

The character in the lineup Cruise might seem the most mismatched with is actually the one he came closest to being — he might not be a great fit now, but the action star is among the many  actors who were almost cast as Spider-Man . Back in 1985, B-movie machine Cannon Films hoped to make its own Spider-Man movie with a Cronenbergian twist, with the proposed picture directed by Tobe Hooper seeing Peter Parker become a giant tarantula. On a web and a prayer, Cruise was approached to take the lead. Unfortunately, he was heading in a different direction, eventually starring in "Top Gun" only a year later. Who knows? Maybe his spider-sense was tingling.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's Son Connor Posts Rare Instagram Photo Showing Off His Huge Fish Catch

Connor Cruise was adopted by Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman during their 10-year marriage

tom cruise insta

Connor Cruise is still cruising in the open waters.

The son of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman recently posted a rare photo of himself on Instagram showing off his latest catch. The avid fisherman tagged his location in Costa Rica and said the fish is a yellowfin.

"Yellowfin were chewing today," he wrote alongside the pic, in which he's holding the tail of the massive fish while sitting on his boat.

Connor, 26, continues to lean into a fishing over a year after a source told PEOPLE he was getting into the hobby.

"Connor lives in Clearwater, which is the church's main hub. He still deejays but he has really become a big fishing guy . He's content with living a quieter life," the source told PEOPLE of the Florida beach town, where the Church of Scientology has its headquarters.

His shared beliefs with his superstar dad have helped the two remain close, the source previously said. Connor and sister Bella, 28, also adopted by Cruise and Kidman, have been part of the religion since they were kids.

"Connor and Isabella grew up in the church of Scientology, they've been members since they were kids," the source said, adding that the siblings "are completely dedicated scientologists just like Tom."

Although Connor mostly stays out of the spotlight, he does step out with his father from time to time, and the pair were most recently photographed together in London in October 2019.

A source previously told PEOPLE that "Connor has a pretty simple life in Clearwater."

"He lives in his own home in a Scientology community. His life is deep-sea fishing. He has a lot of friends and seems very well-liked."

Bella, a fashion designer who uses her parent's famous last names as her professional name, lives in London with her husband Max Parker , whom she married in 2015.

'Top Gun' Fans Can’t Believe Their Eyes After Tom Cruise Shares a “Dangerous” Instagram

In December 2022, the Rain Man star shocked his followers when he dropped an update about his latest project, Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part II. Posting a video with edited clips from filming behind the scenes, Tom also revealed that the newest installment in the franchise will feature a stunt that has been years in the making. What's more, he revealed that the action-packed move will be "the most dangerous thing he's ever attempted" for a movie.

"So excited to share what we’ve been working on. #MissionImpossible," he wrote on Instagram on December 19.

Due to the fact that the Mission: Impossible movies continue to be a favorite amongst viewers, it surprised many to see just how far Tom is testing his limits for an action film. Naturally, they aired their thoughts about it on Instagram.

"The planning and research and dedication is all so impressive. I cannot wait to see it come to life in the movie!!" one person wrote in the comments section. "Incredibly insane, but truly amazing at the same time," another follower added. "Genius, two words. 👏👏 Can't wait for this to hit the multiplexes 😍😍," a different user agreed.

Long story short, Tom's dedication to filming the next Mission: Impossible film explains why he didn't attend the 95th Academy Awards. Entertainment Tonight later confirmed this as his reason for not being there, saying that his presence in the U.K. was necessary to complete filming.

So, when exactly will fans get to see Tom perform his latest death- defying stunt? It won't be too long now. The movie's official Instagram account recently uploaded a movie poster alongside a projected July 14, 2023 release date.

We can't wait to see what's next in the Mission Impossible saga!

The Telegraph

Tom Cruise’s 30-year mission to charm the Royal family

O ver the course of his 40-odd years as a Hollywood star, Tom Cruise has managed to break in and out of some of the world’s most impenetrable-seeming institutions: dastardly villains’ lairs, high-security bank vaults, three marriages of varying success and credibility. 

But when it came to inveigling his way into the heart of the British Royal family, a feat hundreds of celebrities have tried but only a few have achieved, Cruise has made it look all too easy. 

“Fancy seeing you here, Tom Cruise!” the X/Twitter account run on behalf of the Prince and Princess of Wales wrote last night, with a photograph of the Prince and Cruise, in matching black tie, at a London Air Ambulance fundraiser in London .

Fancy it indeed. It was William’s first public engagement since the illnesses of his wife and father (he took the time to thank people for their well wishes). Flying solo, then, he could likely have done with a little support for the evening.

Someone to provide a boost of glamour without Kate there to light up the room, perhaps. A microdose of charisma to enliven what might have been a lot of conversation about rotor blades and response times. A fraternal buddy, while Prince Harry builds his trove of Avios points. Well, nobody does “a little support” like the world’s highest-profile ambassador for platform shoes. 

It feels reasonable to say that, at 61, Cruise is now far and away the Royal family’s favourite divorced American actor of all time. And the feeling is mutual, if Cruise’s commitment to attending various royal events is anything to go by – not least his hosting gig during the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022.

His relationship with William and Kate is certainly established: two years ago, they attended the British premiere of Top Gun: Maverick , where Cruise escorted the Princess up some steps , and William wore velvet shoes by Crockett & Jones, embroidered with two F18s, the planes depicted in the film. 

That night, the couple revealed they had been playing the film’s soundtrack at home with their children. The special velvet shoes (the film-going equivalent of wearing a Gryffindor scarf to the Warner Bros Studio Tour), meanwhile, also got a mention last night. Pointing to his feet, the Prince told his friend: “I haven’t got my Top Gun slippers on tonight!” 

But Cruise did have his Tom Cruise costume on: megawatt smile, charm you could run a country off, all-action anecdotes, incorrigible Anglophilia. The Royal family have found it irresistible for decades, beginning with the Prince of Wales’s mother, Princess Diana. Cruise met Diana in at least 1992, when he and his then-wife Nicole Kidman greeted her at the London premiere of Far and Away . 

Diana was said to be keen. According to one biography, she told a friend Cruise was “extremely fanciable”. Later, after her tragic death in 1997, he infamously called CNN live on air, condemning the actions of the media. It doesn’t even register in the Top 100 oddest things Cruise has done in his time as an A-lister, but it was still bizarre. Days later, he was among a select group of Hollywood talent, including Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, to attend Diana’s funeral at Westminster Abbey. 

Cruise has always been a fan of Britain, whether that’s reportedly buying a home with Kidman in Dulwich Village; making the national news whenever he goes for a curry ; allegedly living at Saint Hill , the British headquarters of Scientology in East Grinstead during lockdown; or basing production of his never-ending Mission: Impossible series in the UK.

While he spent much of the Noughties in the United States, leaping on sofas and embedding himself further into Scientology, he maintained close contact with the UK. He has a home in Biggin Hill – handy for a frequent flyer but also for getting to Croydon, where Isabella, 31, the artist daughter he adopted with Nicole Kidman, has allegedly lived in recent years.

Showbiz friends of Diana weren’t automatically granted entry to Buckingham Palace, but Cruise managed it. In 2017, he met Prince Philip at a charity dinner at the Palace to mark the 75th anniversary of the Outward Bound Trust. Cruise, a petrolhead who can fly anything, got on with Philip. 

“There was a moment, of course, we were talking about pilots, we had to talk about helicopters, and he was telling me the wonderful story of how he got the first helicopter into Buckingham Palace during [The Queen’s] coronation,” Cruise later recalled. 

He would continue to pop up at various royal-adjacent events, from England football matches to Wimbledon, but his appointment as a guest presenter during the Platinum Jubilee still came as a surprise. He was one of four hosts at “A Gallop Through History” – an equestrian event held at Windsor Castle. Another was Alan Titchmarsh who, it was agreed, is very much the thinking British woman’s Tom Cruise.

“[The Queen] is just a woman that I greatly admire. I think she is someone who has tremendous dignity and I admire her devotion. What she has accomplished has been historic. I just remember always as a kid seeing photos of her,” Cruise said, explaining his appearance, which really did need explaining.

They didn’t meet that evening, but she had him over for tea another day in 2022, reportedly allowing him to land his helicopter in the Windsor Castle grounds and fire a ceremonial gun. Sources told a newspaper that they “really hit it off” – so much so that she invited him back for lunch. Regrettably for all concerned, she died before that date.

Not that it stopped Cruise’s slow mission to become an honorary member of the Royal family. Nothing would. His latest show of manful support for William shows both sides are as enthusiastic about one another as ever. “I should take this opportunity to thank my – our – fellow pilot Tom Cruise,” Prince William said in his speech last night. Cruise beamed. He’s dangerous, but he can be his wingman anytime, et cetera . 

Realistically, this ends one of six ways: with an honorary knighthood for Cruise; a cameo in the next Mission: Impossible for William; an advert for that film being allowed to be projected all over Buckingham Palace for a year; Cruise calling LBC to complain that he found Meghan Markle’s Archetypes podcast “hopelessly derivative”; the King fiddling the paperwork to ensure Cruise is bequeathed Rutland; or all of the above.

With this man, nothing’s impossible. Fancy seeing you here, Tom Cruise? It’d be more surprising if he wasn’t.

Finding images of Tom Cruise’s adopted daughter is usually a mission impossible — until now.

Isabella “Bella” Kidman Cruise made a rare social media appearance on Sunday, Sept. 17, when she shared a selfie on her Instagram .

In the carefree picture captioned “What a summer,” the 30-year-old looks coyly at the camera. Donning a simple white top with a cute bow decorating her décolletage, the brunette shows off her appreciation of jewelry wearing a number of gold necklaces around her neck and a gold ring in her nose.

Bella, an artist, normally shares images of work with her nearly 52,000 followers.

According to her website , “Bella has been drawing ever since her wee hands could pick up a pen. Since that point in time she’s been evolving in her arts.”

Bella sells her work on reasonably priced totes, pins and limited edition prints. “Her go-to medium was pen and paper for most of her life,” the site explains. “However, she is now venturing into other formats and mediums. Including digital. Which has been a bit of a game changer in her opinion.”

Nicole Kidman and husband Tom Cruise arrive at Sydney Kingsford Smith airport and introduce their children Connor and Isabella to the media January 24, 1996 in Sydney, Australia.

Bella was adopted by Cruise, 60, and Nicole Kidman, 55, in 1992 after the couple married in 1990. The Hollywood pair also share a son Connor, 28.

Bella and Conor have chosen to stay mostly out of the limelight and in the past their superstar parents have chosen to keep their children’s lives out of the public eye as well.

“I’m very private about all that,” the Academy Award-winning actress told Australian outlet  Who  in 2018. “I have to protect all those relationships. I know 150 per cent that I would give up my life for my children because it’s what my purpose is.”

Kidman is set to be awarded the Life Achievement Award at the The American Film Institute (AFI) ceremony on June 10, but it is rumored that Connor and Bella may not be in attendance although they have both been invited.

“Nicole knows Connor is extremely loyal to his dad so she doesn’t expect him to come, but the invitation is there for both of them,” an alleged source tells  New Idea . ‘It’s an event they have every right to celebrate along with the rest of Nicole’s family.”

The source added: “Nicole is trying to limit her expectations, but is clinging to hope Bella might make it.”

Also set to be in attendance at the ceremony are Kidman’s two daughters Sunday, 14, and Faith, 12, whom she shares with her husband Keith Urban.
