June 3rd 2024.
Last week in London, Tom Cruise had a bit of an awkward blunder. The Hollywood legend, who is currently in the UK filming the latest Mission Impossible film, was caught on camera trying to get into the wrong car. As he waved to fans and made his way to the car park at London Heliport in Battersea, Tom attempted to open the door of a black Audi, only to realize it was not the car he was meant to be in.
We've all been there, right? Trying to get into the wrong car or accidentally approaching the wrong Uber. But for Tom, this was a little more embarrassing as he was trying to enter the car of one of the most powerful figures in the country, the Prime Minister. Thankfully, one of his entourage quickly guided him to the right car while Tom awkwardly made his way over.
Later that day, the Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, was seen leaving the heliport and getting into the same vehicle that Tom had mistakenly gone for. While Sunak had no trouble finding the correct car, he did have a little help from an aide who held the door open for him. This mix-up occurred as Sunak returned to London by helicopter after a trip to Cornwall and Devon for an election campaign event.
But this wasn't the first time Tom was spotted at Battersea. Last month, he flew himself there in his own helicopter. Yes, you read that right. Tom Cruise has held a pilot's license since 1994 and owns several planes. On this particular day, he flew from a film studio in Surrey where the next Mission Impossible film is being shot.
During their time filming together, Tom's co-star in Top Gun: Maverick, Glen Powell, revealed that Tom pulled a heart-stopping prank on him. In an interview with GQ, Glen shared how Tom once pretended to lose control of the helicopter they were flying in, causing them to plummet over the city of London. Talk about a terrifying experience!
Despite the mix-up with the cars, Tom and Sunak seem to have a good relationship. The Prime Minister has been spotted on the campaign trail with Tom and even shared a helicopter ride with him. Who knows, maybe Tom will add "helicopter pilot" to his list of impressive skills in the next Mission Impossible film. But for now, we can all just laugh at this amusing blunder and look forward to the next installment of the action-packed franchise.
