After causing a stir with his first appearance at the Cannes Film Festival in 30 years for his new film Top Gun: Maverick, Tom Cruise made another stunning appearance at the film’s London premiere in Leicester Square on the evening of May 19.
Having been given the honor of walking the red carpet with Prince William and his wife the Duchess of Cambridge, Cruise, being the perfect gentleman, extended his hand to the Duchess as she navigated a set of stairs. The sweet moment was spotted by onlookers and greeted with a barrage of camera flashes from the assembled media, while Prince William was momentarily “demoted” to a supporting role.
Cruise said that he and Prince William have a lot in common, such as they both love England, and they are both aviators and love flying. As an A-lister, the 59-year-old superstar still continues to dazzle the crowd with his chivalrous manner and charm wherever he goes. Cruise’s helpful gesture to the Duchess was praised and he was hailed “the perfect gentleman” by British fans.

China commemorated 80 years since the end of World War II last week with a massive military parade against a backdrop of a disputed history about who ultimately defeated Japan. The issues, including Japan’s reckoning with its wartime record in China, are bound to flare again in December, a flashpoint anniversary of the mass killing in Nanjing by invading Japanese troops. Below is an explainer about what the different — and disputed — points of view are. WHAT IS CHINA’S VIEW?
