DAREDEVIL TOM HITS NEW HEIGHTS

- INTERVIEW: VICKY DEARDEN

Dressed to impress all in black, Tom Cruise strode down the red carpet in London’s Leicester Square last week.

The actor was attending the UK premiere of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, the eighth instalment in the action-thriller franchise that has been keeping Tom on his toes since 1996.

Stars including Sir Rod Stewart and his wife Penny Lancaster also enjoyed the premiere of the film, which follows Ethan Hunt (Tom) in a race against time to find a rogue artificial intelligence before it destroys mankind.

It came just days after HELLO! joined Tom, 62, in an intimate conversation at the British Film Institute in London.

At the event, after which Tom received the prestigious BFI Fellowship, he looked back on his colourful career and revealed what his surprising next move could be.

“Absolutely, definitely musicals,” the star said. “You know, dramas, action, adventures. It’s [the list] endless.”

He was later spotted on top of London’s Imax cinema as he recorded promotional content for his new film, showcasing his fearless approach to advertising his projects.
