Tom Cruise’s waterfront home in Florida’s Clearwater is in the eye of Hurricane Milton as the actor is pictured looking concerned as he arrives in London
Tom Cruise couldn’t hide the worried look on his face as he arrived in London on Wednesday amid the hurricane warning in Florida.
Officials in Florida have issued warnings to citizens refusing to evacuate in the last few hours before Hurricane Milton makes landfall, telling them to “get out now” as several tornadoes begin to hit the state.
And the actor and renowned Scientologist’s large apartment complex in Clearwater, Florida, is expected to be in the eye of the storm.
The Hollywood star was spotted in London looking concerned amid news of Milton’s destructive power.
Tom arrives in style after piloting his helicopter landed at London’s Battersea Airport with his sister Marian and actors Simone Coppo and Martina Ferragamo, thousands of miles from his home.

In Florida, millions of people are in a desperate race against time to evacuate before the ‘storm of the century’ hits Tampa.
Officials warn that those who choose to stay put and ride out Hurricane Milton will be left to fend for themselves.
Emergency services officials have not held back in their assessment of the damage Milton could cause. They went out of their way to underline the deadly potential of the storm as it swept across helpless beaches and reminded residents of the devastation wrought by Hurricane Helene just weeks ago.
“This is it, folks,” Emergency Management Director Cathie Perkins said at a news conference Wednesday morning.
“Those of you who took a hit during Hurricane Helene, this is going to be a knockout. You have to get out, and you have to get out now.’
Tom has lived in his Florida apartment since 2016, when he parted with his Beverly Hills properties for a whopping $39 million.
He moved to the residence because of its proximity to Scientology’s international headquarters and was reportedly very “happy” there.
Tom’s breathtaking multi-million dollar penthouse apartment features a private 36-foot swimming pool on the actor’s roof.

Tom’s stunning multi-million dollar penthouse apartment features a private 36-foot private pool on the actor’s roof.
Plans from 2018 revealed that the roof would feature a ‘pool garden’, ‘pool kitchen’ and an outdoor dining area.
The penthouse fills the top two floors of the condominium, called The SkyView, and features an entire room dedicated to a flight simulator.
The plan also showed that the luxury pad will feature a private entrance with a car lift and a personal garage that can accommodate up to nine vehicles.
Amenities for residents of the building itself include the communal swimming pool Sky Lounge, a children’s playroom and a lounge called ‘The Vault’.
Tom lived in the apartment with his son Connor, whom he adopted with ex-wife Nicole Kidman, until he moved into Scientology’s religious retreat The Sandcastle.

Connor has followed in his father Tom’s footsteps and is becoming increasingly entrenched in Scientology.
In 2018 it was revealed that he was living at the luxurious church-owned Sandcastle complex, which has been described as a ‘religious retreat’.
Built in 1979, the resort-style complex was modernized in 2018 and now includes 62 living rooms and 84 ‘audit rooms’ – where Scientologists notoriously undergo personal interrogations to pinpoint ‘areas of spiritual need’.
In contrast to the rigorous religious practices that take place inside, the exterior features terraces with fantastic water views, a pool and hot tub, a rooftop garden, and even a modest tiki-style bar.
Cruise’s penthouse palace had been in the works for a few years before he moved in in 2018, as reports suggested that millionaire Scientologist Moises Agami submitted development plans in 2015.
