London [UK]: Tom Cruise showed his support to the newly coronated King Charles through his virtual presence.
During the Coronation Concert on Sunday, the Top Gun: Maverick star, 60, appeared in a video cameo, giving King Charles III a shoutout while sitting in a fighter jet. “Pilot to pilot, Your Majesty, you can be my wingman any time,” Cruise said.
The part-time U.K. resident has spent many years there shooting the Mission: Impossible franchise, reported People.
Pierce Brosnan and Bear Grylls also appeared in the pre-recorded spots, while Dame Joan Collins, Disney’s beloved Winnie the Pooh, Sir Tom Jones and OTI Mabuse also appeared in “pre-recorded sketches and segments revealing little-known facts about the King.”
The concert, hosted by Hugh Bonneville, celebrated the Coronation of Their Majesties The King and The Queen. Approximately 20,000 members of the public and invited guests were in attendance, while millions were expected to be watching at home.
Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Andrea Bocelli highlighted the lineup, which also included the British pop group Take That, plus U.K. talent Sir Bryn Terfel, Freya Ridings and Alexis French.
Other artists performing for the Windsor Castle spectacle included singer-songwriters Paloma Faith and Tiwa Savage, Steve Winwood, internationally renowned pianist Lang Lang and pop star Nicole Scherzinger.
