Tom Cruise has reportedly made a “secret trip” during which he visited frontline NHS workers at a vaccination centre to say thank you.
The 58-year-old Mission Impossible actor, who is currently filming the seventh instalment of the franchise, is believed to have headed to London’s ExCel centre last Thursday.
According to The Sun, Tom ensured that his visit to the vaccination centre was kept secret and staff got quite the surprise upon his arrival.
