Tom Cruise Receives Surprise Honorary Palme d’Or at Cannes

Tom Cruise was presented with a surprise Palme d’Or during its premiere at Cannes on Wednesday.
Both Tom and his film Top Gun: Maverick touched down on the Palais for a high-octane premiere last night.
Top Gun: Maverick has already been winning rave reviews from critics ever since it made its world premiere earlier this month in San Diego atop the retired aircraft carrier USS Midway.
As Cruise arrived on the red carpet he has treated to a hero’s welcome wearing a Giorgio Armani for the 75th annual Cannes film festival at Palais des Festivals.
A contingent of French Air Force jets zoomed overhead with red, white, and blue smoke to honor Hollywood action star Tom Cruise.
While the film received 5 minutes of a standing ovation at the Cannes premiere.
Since last night Tom Cruise is tending on the Twitter timeline for all the good reasons.
