The arrival of Tom Cruise is undoubtedly the EVENT in capital letters of the Cannes Film Festival 2022. It’s very simple: even the old dinosaurs of the Croisette are excited at the idea of seeing the star disembark to present Top Gun Maverick which will be released on May 25 in French cinemas.
It must be said that Tom Cruise is a 100% Hollywood star. At 59, he has toured with great directors like Oliver Stone (Born on July 4), Stanley Kubrick (Eyes Wide Shut) or Paul Thomas Anderson (Magnolia). He also established himself as a superhero without a cape or magical powers for the saga Impossible mission and a string of well-crafted action films.
Head burned at nearly 60
Everyone is eager to find out how the hot-headed fighter pilot character he created in the 1986 Tony Scott movie has endured the ravages of time. When we see the head of this young man of almost 60 years old which seems to be kept in a fridge, we are not too worried about the result.
