Looking suave in a blue suit and a pair of dark shades, Tom beamed as a large crowd assembled.<\/p>\n

Hollywood legend Tom was spotted with actress Hayley Atwell, who looked chic in a suede brown jacket.<\/p>\n

The Top Gun star smiled down to stunned onlookers between scenes from the balcony. <\/p>\n

FLYING VISIT<\/h3>\n

Earlier today, Tom delighted a Warwickshire family as he landed in their back garden in a helicopter.<\/p>\n

The star borrowed Alison Webb’s huge field for the scene and as a thank you left her children completely starstruck.<\/p>\n

Tom and the crew had to use the spacious field as the nearby Coventry Airport was temporarily closed.<\/p>\n

Paying thanks, Tom let Alison’s children take a trip in the helicopter and posed for a number of photos with the kids.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the BBC, Alison said: “I thought it would be kind of cool for the kids to see the helicopter land in the garden.<\/p>\n

“He [Tom Cruise] basically arrived and got out and it was like, ‘Wow’.<\/p>\n

“He went straight over to the children for a chat, then came over and elbow bumped us and said thank you very much.”<\/p>\n

The mum recalled how meeting Tom was “incredible” and the experience was “surreal”.<\/p>\n

Tom has been making his rounds in the UK after\u00a0he scoffed two chicken dishes\u00a0at Indian restaurant Asha\u2019s in Birmingham on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Owners of the eatery tweeted a photo of Tom outside with staff and wrote: \u201cIt was an absolute pleasure to welcome Tom Cruise to Asha\u2019s Birmingham yesterday evening.<\/p>\n

\u201cTom ordered our famous Chicken Tikka Masala and enjoyed it so much that as soon as he had finished, he ordered it all over again – the greatest compliment.\u201d<\/p>\n

The chicken tikka masala costs \u00a319.45 and is described as: \u201cTandoori chicken tikka cooked to perfection in chunky tomato and onion gravy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Cockail actor was also spotted filming at Birmingham railway station.<\/p>\n

The railway station has been transformed into an airport for filming, with crowds gathering hoping to catch a glimpse of the star.<\/p>\n

The station has been transformed to look like an airport for camera crews – he was seen filming in front of a row of shops above the station’s entrance.<\/p>\n

Tom, who plays Ethan Hunt in the famous franchise, was reportedly on set as a train was filmed going over the edge of the former Darlton Quarry.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Production on the film began again at the end of last month, after being\u00a0paused and delayed multiple times due to the Covid pandemic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
