Tom Cruise, known for his high-octane roles on the silver screen, also seems to have a knack for thrilling adventures in his real life. The 61-year-old actor was recently spotted landing his helicopter in London's Battersea, showcasing his impressive aviation skills. With a big smile on his face, the Mission: Impossible icon effortlessly touched down and was seen laughing and joking with his crew.
Sporting a black puffer coat and a warm scarf, Tom looked ready to take on the chilly capital. Interestingly, he was also wearing a nose clip, often used to combat snoring. After disembarking from his helicopter, the star happily waved to cameras and even took a few pictures on his phone.
It's no surprise that Tom is a licensed pilot, considering his passion for aviation and his daring stunts in films like Top Gun. In fact, he holds qualifications as a multi-engine instrument-rated pilot and is skilled in flying helicopters. He has even further honed his abilities, acquiring helicopter flying skills for his impressive stunts in Mission Impossible: Fallout.
But Tom's love for flying doesn't stop there. He also has his own collection of planes, including a vintage P-51 Mustang fighter from World War II, which he acquired in 2001. He also owns a luxurious Gulfstream IV G4 jet, complete with amenities like a jacuzzi and a movie-screening room. Rumors have even surfaced that Tom might use it for romantic getaways with his reported new flame, 36-year-old Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova.
Tom's relationship status has been a topic of interest for many, especially after his highly-publicized split from Katie Holmes 15 years ago. Since then, he has been casually dating, with brief links to his Mission: Impossible co-star Hayley Atwell. Most recently, he has been seen with Elsina Khayrova, whom he reportedly whisked away to London for a festive date at Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park.
Elsina, a former Miss Europe contestant and British citizen, was previously married to Russian tycoon Dmitry Tsvetkov. They divorced in the summer, dividing their properties and assets, including a £22 million mansion and an £18 million London home. But it seems like Tom and Elsina are enjoying each other's company, with sources saying they were "inseparable" during their outings.
Tom has certainly kept his love life private and casual, but that doesn't stop fans from being curious about his relationships. And with his impressive aviation skills, it's no wonder he can sweep someone off their feet and take them on a romantic helicopter ride.
