Just hearing that Tom Cruise gifted something to Prince William already makes you realize that it’s going to be big. According to Daily Mail UK, Cruise gifted Prince William an early showing of “Top Gun: Maverick.” The movie, which doesn’t even come out until the end of May, was screened at the IMAX screen in London’s Leicester Square for Prince William and his family. Because nothing says A-list like a surprise premiere in your honor from the movie’s main character.
“The rest of the cinema was shut to ensure privacy and William, Kate and a few other members of the royal family — plus a couple of very trusted friends — were the first to see it,” an insider tells Daily Mail UK. According to the publication, Prince William, Kate Middleton, Princess Eugenie, and Princess Beatrice were among the move goers.
And, of course, Cruise was there himself to greet the family and welcome them in. The actor didn’t end up staying to watch the film with them though.
