Prince William reportedly shares an unexpected passion with none other than Hollywood megastar Tom Cruise. The report came after the Prince of Wales and his wife, Kate Middleton, attended the London premiere of the actor’s new film, “Digger.” However, the Prince of Wales met the Hollywood star for the first time when his late mother, Princess Diana, took him to visit the original “Mission: Impossible” movie set.
Prince William and Tom Cruise can talk about flying ‘for hours,’ per source
Prince William and actor Tom Cruise can allegedly have a conversation about flying “for hours.” As reported by RadarOnline, a source told them that “Flying is probably the subject that really allows William and Tom to forget their respective worlds and simply talk as two enthusiasts.”
According to the source, the Prince of Wales’ experience as a pilot enables him to understand aviation beyond simple fascination with its overall glamor. In the meantime, the source explained that the “Top Gun” actor famously loves flying both in his personal life and in his acting career.
Furthermore, the insider claimed Prince William and Tom Cruise “can get extremely detailed about aircraft, training, and what it actually feels like to be at the controls.” The insider explained that the “Jerry Maguire” actor loves coming across as someone who understands the world of aviation. Meanwhile, per the insider, the Prince of Wales absolutely loves having a friend from Hollywood who shares the same interest that has been an extremely pivotal part of his life.
In the meantime, the source also claimed, “There is inevitably plenty of Top Gun talk, but their conversations go much further than movies. They’ll compare experiences, discuss different aircraft and happily disappear down an aviation rabbit hole.”
Then, the source explained, “It’s one of the things that transformed an acquaintance into a genuine friendship.” “Flying” provides Prince William and Tom Cruise with “common ground completely removed from royal engagements or Hollywood premieres – and both can talk about it for hours,” the source added.
