Elsewhere, Cruise recently spoke at the closing ceremony of the 2026 World Cup which also saw performances from Post Malone, Jennifer Hudson, Nicole Scherzinger, Robbie Williams and Italian singer Laura Pausini.

The star also recently reportedly moved back to the US after years of living in the UK.

Cruise has previously spoken about his love of the UK, saying in 2022 (via The Mirror): “I guess I am an ­Anglophile. I spend a lot of time in Britain and that’s not just for work reasons. I just love being here.”

“It’s a fantastic blend of old and new. I love seeing the sights, the Tower of London, Nelson’s Column, Buckingham Palace and all those fantastic places which are just full of history. Britain is trendy, too, and has a lot that other countries then copy. I also love the British countryside,” he added.

“Seeing cows and sheep in the fields here is just so very British and just like we see in the movies in America. I always wondered whether it is really like that. It’s great to go back to the US and say, ‘Yes, it really is’.”
