Tom Cruise surprises a family in Warwickshire with a free ride in his helicopter... after landing in their garden

Tom Cruise surprised a delighted family on Monday as his helicopter landed in their garden.

The 59-year-old actor is currently in the UK filming the latest Mission: Impossible film – and his latest stint took him to Alison Webb’s Warwickshire garden.

The family lapped up the Hollywood royalty’s arrival, after previously being told an unnamed VIP needed somewhere to land as a result of Coventry Airport being temporarily closed.

Guess who! Tom Cruise surprised a family in Warwickshire on Monday with a free ride in his helicopter… after landing in their garden

Not only did the three-time Golden Globe winner pose for pictures, he gave a ride in his helicopter – for free – to Alison’s children and their friends.

At present, the star is filming at Birmingham’s Grand Central with co-star Hayley Atwell.

Alison was informed that her field was required for a helicopter to land for an ‘unnamed VIP who was running late’, as the nearby airport was temporarily closed.

In a BBC report, Alison revealed: ‘I thought it would be kind of cool for the kids to see the helicopter land in the garden.

‘He [Tom Cruise] basically arrived and got out and it was like “Wow”.’

‘He went straight over to the children for a chat, then came over and elbow bumped us and said thank you very much.’

Alison described the day as ‘incredible’ and ‘surreal’, whilst struggling to believe it happened.

Tom famously performs all his own stunts in his action movies – and it seems all the skydiving and free-running left him feeling famished on Saturday night.

He scoffed not one but two Chicken Tikka Masalas costing £19.45 each amid shooting the upcoming Mission: Impossible 7 in Birmingham.

The actor took to Newhall Street in the ‘city of a thousand trades’ where he spent two hours at the Indian restaurant Asha’s, before leaving staff a generous £60 tip.

A socially distanced snap taken by his own security guard showed the Top Gun star donning a navy knitted sweater, which he combined with a pair of jeans.

Currying good favour: Employees of the business soon took to the Asha’s Twitter page to share the exciting news of having a served up their grub to a Hollywood A-Lister

With a matching jacket in-hand, Tom grinned alongside three suited-and-booted members of staff from the eatery.
