Tom Cruise Arranged For Prince William & Kate Middleton To Watch Early Screening Of 'Top Gun' Sequel, Source Claims: 'They Happily Accepted'

Tom Cruise apparently arranged for Prince William and Kate Middleton to watch an early screening of the 'Top Gun' sequel, which will be released in May, a source claimed.

Prince William and Kate Middleton are in the fast lane! After Tom Cruise heard the pair was interested in seeing the Top Gun sequel, the actor apparently arranged for it to happen at the IMAX cinema near London's Leicester Square.

“It’s a very unlikely movie premiere, but Tom made the offer after learning William is a fan. They happily accepted. Let’s face it, guests don’t get much more A-list!" a source told The Sun. “The rest of the cinema was shut to ensure privacy and William, Kate and a few other members of the royal family — plus a couple of very trusted friends — were the first to see it."

“Tom welcomed them and said he hoped they’d enjoy watching it as much as he’d enjoyed making it, and left them to it," the insider continued. “Apparently, it was met with royal approval — not least because William has been a military pilot himself so it’s pretty close to his heart. It’s also a mega-bucks film with some of the most incredible stunts ever performed on camera so it lives up to the hype.”
