Tom Cruise beams as he joins chic co-star Hayley Atwell for Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning press conference in Tokyo
Tom Cruise was beaming as he stepped on stage for a press conference in Japan ahead of his new film Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning. The Hollywood star, 61, looked dapper as he joined his co-stars to promote the highly-anticipated eighth film in the franchise at Toho Cinemas Roppongi Hills in Tokyo on Wednesday. Among the stars in attendance was English actress Hayley Atwell, who reprises her role as Grace, a former thief turned IMF agent and ally to Tom's character, Ethan Hunt. Hayley, 43, looked effortlessly chic as she stepped out in a black leather bomber jacket, with matching wide-leg trousers and white stilettos. Meanwhile Tom sported a smart ensemble consisting of grey suit with a matching polo shirt for the appearance, as it was revealed advance screenings will begin from May 17 in Japan. They were joined by a number of other stars from the movie, including Simon Pegg, Greg Tarzan Davis and Pom Klementieff, as well as director Christopher McQuarrie. Reprising his role as the titular hero Ethan Hunt, Tom takes on his biggest mission yet, after a tense cliffhanger saw the spy determined to track down cyber weapon The Entity and learning that his team was betrayed and his 'secrets compromised.' The film, which has faced multiple delays, is finally due to hit cinemas on May 23 2025. The following day, Tom was joined by his co-stars once again at the Japan press conference at Toho Cinemas. The actor looked sharp in an all grey ensemble as he took to the stage with his cast, which included Tarzan Davis, Hayley, Christopher McQuarrie, Simon and Pom Klementieff. On Saturday, Tom was joined by his new girlfriend Ana for David's star-studded 50th birthday bash, with the star later spotted in a background of a snap shared from the party on Instagram. While Tom had seemingly arrived on his own at the swanky celebrations at Notting Hill's Core restaurant on Saturday, hours later the facade dropped as he was spotted leaving in a car with the actress. The couple made an effort to hide their relationship as they left the venue in the early hours shielded by umbrellas, before ducking behind the seats as they sat together in the back of the vehicle. While they were trying to conceal their appearance together, bleary-eyed Tom appeared to find the whole thing quite amusing as he was spotted laughing and smiling as their sneaky moment was caught on camera. Meanwhile Tom sported a smart ensemble consisting of grey suit with a matching polo shirt for the appearance, as it was revealed advance screenings will begin from May 17. Ana, who was wearing an elegant strappy black dress, meanwhile kept her head down as she avoided being photographed with Tom, following their best efforts to keep their joint attendance quiet. Earlier in the evening, Tom made a low-key arrival at the celebration, following a series of reports that his girlfriend was also invited to the star-studded event. Tom appeared to enter the venue solo, spotted sitting in the back of a black cab as he pulled up to the exclusive spot. Ana had joined her new beau in London earlier last week as they both jetted into the capital ahead of her own birthday on April 30. Tom and Ana have been linked since Valentine's Day this year. They appeared to confirm their romance as they flew into London together last week, just days before her birthday. In exclusive photos obtained by the Daily Mail, Hollywood icon Tom looked giddy as he piloted a helicopter into the UK capital with the brunette actress by his side. The actor, 62, brought his rumoured girlfriend, Ana de Armas (pictured), 37, to pal David Beckham's 50th birthday Fans later caught a glimpse of Ana as Tom bundled her into a taxi on Saturday following David Beckham 's 50th birthday party. The actress was also spotted dancing the night away in a snap from the star-studded bash posted to Victoria Beckham 's Instagram Stories on Monday. She wore a black v-neck dress and let her brunette tresses loose for the fun snap as she held a glass in her hand. The No Time To Die star watched on as birthday boy David pulled out a few moves with a glass of what looked like red wine in his hand. The former footballer sported a white dinner jacket over a white shirt, adding black trousers and a black cummerbund as well as a black bowtie.
