Tom Cruise cut a casual figure on Friday as he landed his helicopter at Battersea Heliport and gave a ground crew member a fist bump as a token of his appreciation. 

The American actor and film producer, 61, looked handsome as he showed off his muscly arms in a grey slim-fit T-shirt. 

He teamed the casual shirt with a pair of faded grey jeans and sported a pair of chunky white trainers. 

Tom shielded his eyes with a pair of oval-shaped shades and was pictured carrying a large black duffle bag as he exited the helicopter. 

To complete the look, he sported a silver wristwatch as he showed off his age-defying looks.

He seemed in high spirits as he chatted away with a ground crew member before waving on to fans. 

Tom was last seen filming in April when he shut down roads just a stone’s throw from Downing Street.  

Dramatic scenes signalled trouble for the Impossible Missions Force agent Ethan Hunt as the actor was seen kneeling on the road in surrender.

The filming of the UK scenes of the eighth instalment of the Mission Impossible franchise initially took place between March and December 2022.

Production restarted soon after, but was suspended in July due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strikes.

Filming resumed in March 2024, but came to another halt in May, allegedly due to a faulty gimbal (a camera tool). It has since restarted again.

Mission Impossible 8 was originally meant to be filmed back-to-back with Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, which raked in over half a billion at box office.

If not for the strikes, MI:8 would have been with fans by the end of summer: its scheduled release date is now May 23, 2025.

As well as Tom, the eighth Mission Impossible film will also see the return of Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, Hayley Atwell, Pom Klementieff, and Vanessa Kirby.

It is hoped that Tom will not have to resort to desperately begging studio bosses to extend the film’s run this time around.

When the seventh film hit cinemas, the actor was concerned about Oppenheimer overshadowing the film, as it required the same limited screens.

He was proved right as Oppenheimer achieved almost $400 million more than Mission: Impossible at box office.
