Prince William finds his perfect wingman in Tom Cruise
The unexpected friendship between Prince William and Tom Cruise has quietly become one of the most intriguing crossovers between palace and Hollywood.
A Royal Seal of Approval
While attending the BAFTA Film Awards in 2026, William was asked to name his favorite movie.
He confessed he might be “slightly biased,” before praising Top Gun: Maverick as one of the most impressive films he’s seen in years.
Back at Adelaide Cottage, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are reportedly obsessed with the high-speed aerial scenes.
William has admitted family movie nights often lean toward daring stunts over art-house drama much to his children’s delight.
Private Screenings and Red Carpet Moments
The bond between the royal aviator and Hollywood’s most fearless stuntman dates back to 2022, when William and Catherine were invited to a private IMAX screening ahead of the film’s debut at the Cannes Film Festival.
Cruise personally arranged the preview after discovering William a trained RAF helicopter pilot was a longtime fan of the 1986 original.
Cameras caught them deep in conversation, with Cruise even offering a steadying hand to the Princess of Wales on the staircase.
Later, Cruise thanked the couple publicly, calling it a privilege to host them in the UK.
At a 2024 fundraising gala, the future king jokingly warned his “fellow pilot” not to borrow the charity’s helicopters for the next installment of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, teasing that Cruise’s idea of “wear and tear” might differ from everyone else’s.
Cruise has also lent star power to William’s environmental initiative, the The Earthshot Prize, appearing via surprise video message and referring to the Prince as his “dear friend.”
The actor has said they “have a lot in common,” citing their shared love of aviation and England.

Cardi B nearly cancels her final ‘Little Miss Drama Tour’ show: Here’s why
Cardi B nearly cancelled the final concert of her Little Miss Drama Tour.
Hours before she was supposed to take the State Farm Arena stage in Atlanta, Georgia, on Saturday, April 18, the Grammy-winning rapper jumped on her Instagram Live mid-altercation with the staff.
“I’m not performing today, let me tell you why,” yells Cardi. “Because your employees are being f***ing rude for no reason. Pointing fingers for no reason. Touching people for no reason.”
“I did 35 shows and I’ve never had a problem, and we’ve been kind to everybody. So no, now I’m leaving!” the rapper says before storming out.
However, Cardi took to X shortly after to clarify that she will still be performing. “When you hold power and authority, use it with kindness and respect. Never abuse it… because not everyone will endure your arrogance in silence,” wrote Cardi. “Treat others exactly like you demand to be treated. Atlanta… I’ll see you soon.”
It still took Cardi some time to cool off after taking the stage and she vowed to never perform in the arena again. “I’m pissed off right now, I ain’t gonna lie,” she told the audience, according to fan-captured videos. “This Arena been playing a lot of games with me… Next time, I’m having my concert in a f***ing parking lot, b***h!” she joked.
