Tom Cruise cut a nonchalant figure on Friday as he landed his helicopter at Battersea Heliport and gave a member of the ground crew a fist bump as a show of appreciation.
The 61-year-old American actor and film producer looked handsome as he showed off his muscular arms in a tight gray T-shirt.
He paired the casual shirt with faded gray jeans and wore chunky white sneakers.
Tom shielded his eyes with oval-shaped sunglasses and was pictured carrying a large black duffel bag as he exited the helicopter.
To complete his look, he wore a silver watch, showing off his ageless appearance.

The actor, who has held his pilot’s license since 1994 and owns several planes, looked confident as he landed his helicopter.
As he exited his private helicopter, Tom appeared in good spirits as he chatted with a ground crew member before waving to fans.
Tom was last seen filming in April when he closed roads just steps from Downing Street.
Dramatic scenes hinted at trouble for Impossible Missions Force agent Ethan Hunt as the actor was seen kneeling in surrender on the road.
Filming of the UK scenes for the eighth installment of the Mission Impossible franchise was initially scheduled to take place between March and December 2022.
Production resumed shortly after, but was halted in July due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strikes.
Filming resumed in March 2024, but came to a halt again in May, reportedly due to a faulty gimbal (a camera aid). It has since restarted.
Mission Impossible 8 was originally going to be filmed right after Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, which grossed over half a billion dollars at the box office.
If it weren’t for the strikes, MI:8 would have hit stores by the end of this summer: the planned release date is now May 23, 2025.

In addition to Tom, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, Hayley Atwell, Pom Klementieff and Vanessa Kirby also return in the eighth Mission Impossible film.
Hopefully this time Tom won’t have to desperately beg the studio executives to extend the film’s running time.
When the seventh film hit theaters, the actor worried that Oppenheimer would overshadow the film because it required the same limited screens.
He was proven right when Oppenheimer earned nearly $400 million more than Mission: Impossible at the box office.
