The Hollywood star, who was filming his last Mission Impossible movie in the UK, said: ‘She’s just a woman I admire immensely. I think she is someone of tremendous dignity and I admire her dedication.
“What she has achieved is historic. I just remember seeing pictures of her as a kid.’

“She loved seeing him and we really hit it off, so much so that she invited him over for lunch.”
