Tom Cruise makes video appearance at King Charles III's coronation concert
A video played at the coronation event showed Tom sitting in the seat of a P-51 fighter jet, saying, "Pilot to pilot, Your Majesty, you can be my wingman any time." The pre-taped clip was screened during a segment in which Pierce Brosnan and Bear Grylls discussed King Charles III's service in the Royal Navy and Air Force from 1971 to 1976. Tom's first encounter with the British royal family dates back to 1992, when he and his then-wife Nicole Kidman met Princess Diana during the premiere of their film Far and Away.
