Learn all about the fun, new life TOM CRUISE has been leading in England!
Gone for good? Hollywood’s heaviest hitter, Tom Cruise, now happily resides across the pond!
For more than four decades, Tom Cruise has been one of America’s biggest movie stars, and his new deal with Warner Bros. Discovery — to produce and develop franchise films as well as original fare — means he’ll remain a power player for years to come. Yet, as of late, the Top Gun star, 61, has been living far away from the bright lights of Hollywood: He now calls England home.
“Tom is loving his new life in London,” reveals an insider. “He feels like he has been given a fresh start and is enjoying the change of pace.”
Tom originally moved to the U.K. to shoot back-to-back Mission Impossible flicks, but he liked it so much, he ended up sticking around! According to the insider, the leading man currently resides in “an upscale building” in the posh Knightsbridge district bordering Hyde Park.
“In LA, Tom felt like he was confined to his mansion,” says the insider. “He is single and his kids don’t live with him, so he was often alone and felt secluded. But he’s found an area in London where he feels comfortable and can socialize with people in a way he could never do in California because of his fame.”
STEPPING OUT
While he’s been spotted hanging with Prince William and Princess Kate and dining out at swanky eatery Novikov, Tom loves the way London living allows him to meet regular-ish people, too. “He has been socializing with and making friends with other people in his
building and often hosts tea parties and dinners,” spills the insider. “In LA, everyone is connected to Hollywood, so he’s enjoying meeting people from different professions and learning about them. It’s something he hasn’t really been able to do in many years.”
Of course, Tom is also taking advantage of the city’s famous culture and nightlife. “It’s refreshing for him to be able to go to private clubs and restaurants and go unnoticed,” says the source. That includes going on dates with gorgeous women, like recent love interest Elsina Khayrova (see sidebar), without causing a huge media frenzy. “They were able to enjoy many nights out without paparazzi following them — another thing he could rarely do in LA,” points out the insider.
Still, there’s no telling where the adventure-loving celeb might ultimately end up, shares the insider: “He sees himself staying in London for the time-being, but it might not be a completely permanent move.”
