TOWIE town a hit with Tom
HOLLYWOOD star Tom Cruise has outed himself as a fan of the town made famous by reality show TOWIE.
The A-lister has been filming scenes for the latest Mission: Impossible film in Brentwood.
Its previous claim to fame was as the setting for TOWIE, which follows the lives of its rich and beautiful residents.
Now it will be known as one of Cruise’s favourites.
The actor personally rang Brentwood mayor Will Russell this week to praise the “great town”.
He also apologised for any disruption the filming had caused to local residents and businesses.
Russell said: “He wanted to say he had a wonderful time in Brentwood and it was a great town.
“He asked about what I did as mayor, and said it was important to have such a great community and I should be proud to be mayor.
“I asked who he was and he told me it was Tom Cruise. He didn’t ring to say, ‘It’s Tom Cruise.’”
He is expected to be in Brentwood for the next two weeks filming M:I 6.
