Hollywood star Tom Cruise was scheduled to attend the coronation concert in London this Sunday, but he opted out and sent a special video message to King Charles III that played during the event.
In a pre-recorded segment titled ‘Did you know?’ ‘007’ star Pierce Brosnan revealed that the King ‘was the longest serving Prince of Wales for over 64 years. During that time the King developed a host of action man skills. At 22 years old His Majesty got his wings as a fully trained RAF pilot.’
The video then cut to adventurer Bear Grylls who added: ‘He’s also a naval aviator and a trained commando helicopter pilot in the fleet air army.’
The next shot was of Cruise, who broadcast his message in his usual daring fashion. Speaking to the camera, he tells King Charles: ‘Pilot to pilot, Your Majesty, you can be my wingman any time.’
For the unversed, before acceding to the throne last September, Charles’s title was the Prince of Wales, which has now passed to his eldest son Prince William.
Tom Cruise attended the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Miami, Florida, on Sunday. He interacted with Shakira, Serena Williams, Venus Williams, and LL Cool J at the Miami International Autodrome where Red Bull's Max Verstappen finished the race in first place.
