Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise — or Ah Tang Ge, a colloquial nickname expressing closeness in Taiwan — has fulfilled his promise to Taiwanese fans by visiting Taiwan for the fourth time to promote his new film The Mummy. Cruise, along with director Alex Kurtzman and actresses Sofia Boutella and Annabelle Wallis, attended the Taiwan premiere at the Miramar Entertainment Park in Taipei yesterday.
According to Universal Picture Co., Cruise told fans when wrapping up his last visit to Taiwan in 2013 that he would return to the country to promote his future movies. Earlier this year, he took the initiative to tell the company’s US headquarters he would like to visit Taiwan again, hoping to thank Taiwanese fans for their support and recognition all these years.
The latest trip has made Cruise Taiwan’s most frequent Hollywood visitor. His previous visits were in 2000, 2001 and 2013. The new movie is scheduled to hit theaters in Taiwan on June 7.

In the dense forests of Tanzania, a young researcher sat quietly among the trees, her gaze fixed on a troop of chimpanzees. It was 1960, and Jane Goodall, armed with nothing but a notebook and endless curiosity, was about to change science forever. Inspired by childhood stories like the Dr. Dolittle series, she had dreamed of Africa — and now, thanks to the encouragement of anthropologist Louis Leakey, she was there, face-to-face with the wild.
