And Hollywood actor Tom Cruise is making headlines once again, this time for his decision to return to the United States after spending the past five years living in the United Kingdom. The Mission: Impossible star had been residing in the UK while working on several high-profile projects, including the latest instalments of the Mission: Impossible series.
Cruise’s return to the US comes as he wraps up filming for ‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part II’, the much-anticipated sequel to the blockbuster franchise. During his time in the UK, Cruise invested heavily in a penthouse in central London, but now that filming has concluded, he is preparing to head back to his native country.
A source close to Cruise revealed that the actor is excited to be closer to his son Connor and his friends. “Tom has made the UK his home for five years and he absolutely loves it here,” the source said. “There is no doubt he’ll be back at some point when he greases the wheels for the next Mission: Impossible outing, but Tom is looking forward to returning to the US to be closer to his son Connor and his friends.”
Cruise’s return also coincides with the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, which has wreaked havoc across several states, including Florida, where Cruise owns an apartment in Clearwater. The powerful storm has caused significant damage, and Cruise has been closely following the situation.
Despite his deep affection for the UK, Cruise is eager to reunite with his family and friends in the US. “The transformation has been pretty incredible – England has done him and his wider reputation the world of good, and he’s so much happier for it,” the source added.
Cruise’s time in the UK wasn’t all work. He has been spotted at various cultural and sporting events, including Wimbledon and the British Grand Prix. His presence in the country has been a topic of interest for fans and media alike, with many noting how much he seems to have enjoyed his stay.
Moreover, Cruise’s decision to return to the US is also influenced by his desire to be more involved in future projects stateside. With upcoming films and collaborations on the horizon, his return marks a new chapter in his illustrious career.
As Cruise bids farewell to the UK, fans and colleagues alike are looking forward to seeing what the future holds for the iconic actor. Will he continue to split his time between the two countries, or will the US become his permanent home once again? Only time will tell.
