Tom Cruise paid tribute to the newly coronated King Charles III during the all-star Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle on Sunday evening.
In typical Cruise fashion, the “Mission: Impossible” and “Top Gun” star broadcast his message from the cockpit of his own plane while speaking to camera and telling King Charles: “Pilot to pilot, Your Majesty, you can be my wingman any time.”
The Telegraph has released a clip of Cruise’s messages, which plays to the strains of a familiar soundtrack, along with an introduction from two others.
In the clip, Pierce Brosnan says Charles III was the longest-serving Prince of Wales and is a fully-trained RAF pilot, whilst Bear Grylls adds he’s a naval aviator, trained commando helicopter pilot, and took on Royal Marines Commando Training.
Cruise was among a handful of US stars who had jetted in to take part in the concert held in the grounds of the King’s Castle at Windsor. Others on the list include the likes of Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, Bette Midler, Andrea Bocelli and British group Take That.
Cruise has made the UK his adopted home in recent years having spent plenty of time there shooting the two “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning” films which start unrolling from July.
The coronation itself drew over 14 million viewers to the BBC on Saturday.
