Guess who! Tom Cruise surprised a family in Warwickshire on Monday with a free ride in his helicopter… after landing in their garden

Not only did the three-time Golden Globe winner pose for pictures, he gave a ride in his helicopter – for free – to Alison’s children and their friends.

At present, the star is filming at Birmingham’s Grand Central with co-star Hayley Atwell.

Alison was informed that her field was required for a helicopter to land for an ‘unnamed VIP who was running late’, as the nearby airport was temporarily closed.

In a BBC report, Alison revealed: ‘I thought it would be kind of cool for the kids to see the helicopter land in the garden.

‘He [Tom Cruise] basically arrived and got out and it was like “Wow”.’

‘He went straight over to the children for a chat, then came over and elbow bumped us and said thank you very much.’

The father-of-three didn’t hesitate offering the free helicopter ride to Alicia’s children, his pilot taking them for a fly as he attended a meeting.

Alison described the day as ‘incredible’ and ‘surreal’, whilst struggling to believe it happened.

Tom famously performs all his own stunts in his action movies – and it seems all the skydiving and free-running left him feeling famished on Saturday night.

He scoffed not one but two Chicken Tikka Masalas costing £19.45 each amid shooting the upcoming Mission: Impossible 7 in Birmingham.

The actor took to Newhall Street in the ‘city of a thousand trades’ where he spent two hours at the Indian restaurant Asha’s, before leaving staff a generous £60 tip.
