That’s called being treated like royalty! While Tom Cruise will present the sequel to the film Top Gun at the Cannes Film Festival, in May 2022, the actor organized a very special preview … for Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton. The interpreter of Captain Pete “maverick“Mitchell, who returns to his role 30 years later, had indeed heard that the British sovereign was a big fan of the first feature film dating from 1986.
Previews are often reserved for a certain elite. We can say that this one was extremely exclusive. Tom Cruise had the film aired Top Gun: Maverick on one of the biggest IMAX screens in the UK, in London’s Leicester Square. He had the premises privatized so that Prince William and Kate Middleton – who have just returned from their official visit to the Caribbean – can enjoy their evening without being bothered or in danger. Also allowed in the room: Sophie Wessex, 57, Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice and some very close friends of the Duchess and Duke of Cambridge.
Tom hosted them himself
“It’s a very unusual preview, but Tom came up with it after learning that William loved Top Gun, says a source from the DailyMail. They accepted with great pleasure. We rarely know such a privilege! The rest of the cinema was closed to the public for the privacy of Kate and William, a few other members of England’s royal family and friends they fully trust. They were the first to see the film. Tom greeted them himself and told them that he hoped they enjoyed this sequel, which he loved shooting. Then he left them alone.“
