Tom Cruise is on top of the world after leading Top Gun: Maverick’s billion-dollar campaign at the box office — a first for the veteran lead among his filmography.
Aside from celebrating Maverick’s success, the Days of Thunder star spent his 60th birthday at a Formula One race on Sunday, taking in the event while being in the UK to finish filming his next theatrical release, which is the seventh installation in the Mission: Impossible series. Cruise cheered on friend and Formula One racer Lewis Hamilton.
