Tom Cruise surprises crowd at 'Top Gun: Maverick' live orchestral screening in London: 'dream come true'

Tom Cruise sure knows how to make a grand entrance.

During a live orchestral concert and viewing of "Top Gun: Maverick" at London's Royal Albert Hall on Friday, the 62-year-old actor surprised the crowd when he walked on stage prior to the film's start, which featured a live performance of the film's score by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra. 

In a video posted to X (formerly Twitter), Cruise addressed the audience and gave a shutout to his "dear friend," composer Lorne Balfe.
