Tom Cruise’s “enthusiasm” for Princess Kate has attracted attention on TikTok, with a video showing him clapping as she arrived at Wimbledon going viral.
The Hollywood actor has been making efforts to charm the Prince and Princess of Wales ever since they attended the premiere of his movie Top Gun: Maverick in May 2022, where he even held Kate’s hand.
During the men’s singles final at Wimbledon, Cruise couldn’t hide his admiration for Kate as he warmly welcomed her onto Centre Court with applause.
A clip of this heartwarming moment quickly gained popularity on social media, garnering 205,000 likes and 3.7 million views. The on-screen caption read: “Standing ovation for Kate Middleton at the Wimbledon final. Two rows back, you can see the enthusiasm of Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts.”
Canadian TV personality Sangita Patel shared the footage, expressing her excitement at spotting stars like Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Cruise, and Julia Roberts at the Wimbledon finals.
Fans were captivated by Kate’s response to Cruise holding her hand in 2022, particularly when she subtly adjusted her clutch bag. Cruise also seemed quite captivated by Kate during Wimbledon that year.
Cruise was back in the royal scene in February for a gala dinner at a London Air Ambulance Charity Gala Dinner in Westminster, where Prince William jokingly thanked him for his support and humorously requested not to borrow new helicopters for his next Mission Impossible escapade.
Kate’s appearance at Wimbledon marked only her second public outing of 2024, as she has been on a break due to receiving chemotherapy for cancer. Her health challenges began with abdominal surgery in January, leading to a cancer diagnosis that has not been disclosed publicly.
