Tom Cruise says he and Prince William 'have a lot in common' at Top Gun premiere

Queen Elizabeth is being celebrated with a star-studded concert!

On Thursday, high ranking members of the Royal Family joined the Queen on her Buckingham Palace balcony as they watched over the Trooping the Colour ceremony, as well as the Red Arrows display. It's possibly the most famous balcony in the world with royals having gathered on the balcony since 1851 to celebrate weddings, birthdays and to commemorate important wartime events. It was Queen Victoria who first started the tradition during the celebrations of the Great Exhibition over 170 years ago.

The Queen, alongside Prince William, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge (aka Kate Middleton), and their three kids, Prince George, 8, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4, watch the RAF flyover during the Trooping the Colour parade on Thursday (June 2) in London, England.

Many may be unaware that royal couple Prince William and Kate Middleton have quite the unusual set-up at their exclusive Kensington Palace apartment.

Superheroes aren’t the only ones making an impact at the box office. According to Deadline, "Top Gun: Maverick" is ranking $150 million over four days – the best opening for the film’s lead Tom Cruise. Comscore shared that over Memorial Day weekend, the "Top Gun" sequel now takes the place of the highest grossing movie over the holiday weekend.

Glen Powell nearly didn't make the cut for "Top Gun: Maverick." Powell, 33, shared with The Hollywood Reporter that, in July 2018, he got a phone call informing him he didn’t get the role in the film for which he had spent weeks auditioning.  "This one I just took very personally and was just plain sad," he told the outlet. Powell, best known for his role in "Scream Queens," originally auditioned for the role of Rooster, the on-screen son of Goose who was Lt.

"Top Gun" is back. After a two-year delay, "Top Gun: Maverick" is hitting theaters across the world Friday.The release of the action movie figures to be a big moment for box office recovery during the coronavirus pandemic. The film’s star, Tom Cruise, is expected to have his biggest career opening, with a four-day gross of at least $92 million, per official tracking.

Top Gun: Maverick had his eyes on the Duke of Cambridge’s eyes. Jon Hamm appeared on Wednesday’s episode of The Tonight Show, where he revealed which of his costars “geeked out a little” over Prince William’s eyes at the UK premiere of the Top Gun sequel.Prince William’s ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ red carpet look included a nod to the movie—Did you catch it?“I heard a story that maybe Miles Teller was kind of freaking out?” host Jimmy Fallon asked.“He geeked out a little on Prince William’s eyes,” Jon recalled.

Jay Ellis is flying high on the success of his new role in, but even he'll admit that getting to meet Prince William and Kate Middleton at the recent royal premiere of the film in London left him feeling a little insecure!«It was absolutely insane,» Ellis raved to ET's Rachel Smith as the pair met up in Times Square to check out the new billboards and surprise some lucky fans with tickets to the film.«They tell you all these [rules of etiquette] like, all these things that you have to do,» he shared of meeting the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. «They speak to you first, you reach out your hand… 'Your royal highness, nice to meet you.»«And then the first question you ask is like, 'So, um, how are you?'» he continued with a laugh. «No one knew what to say. It was crazy — what do you ask them?»Thinking fast, Ellis recalled that he asked Prince William about the types of aircraft he'd flown in his time with the Royal Air Force.

When the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge stepped out at the Top Gun: Maverick premiere last week, there was no doubting the future of the monarchy is in safe hands. Kate was the picture of elegance in a monochrome Roland Mouret dress, while dashing William looked full of admiration for his wife as they posed together on the red carpet in London’s Leicester Square.

Carol Vorderman didn't follow her fellow guests at the Top Gun premiere on Thursday night as she ditched the usual glitzy gowns for a khaki green flight suit in homage to the film.

Tom Cruise was Kate Middleton's knight in shining armour.  The A-lister, 59, extended his hand to the Duchess of Cambridge, 40, as she navigated a set of stairs at the Top Gun: Maverick premiere in London's Leicester Square.  Cruise was on hand to escort the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge down the red carpet and introduce them to his co-stars, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm and Miles Teller.
