Tom Cruise Praises Prince and Princess of Wales

Tom Cruise praised the Prince and Princess of Wales after meeting them at the London premiere of his film Digger on September 22, describing them as people he respects and commending Kate Middleton’s humor and intelligence. In a later interview, he also joked that Prince William made a “smart choice” in marrying her. Cruise spoke about the encounter during the film’s Los Angeles premiere on September 28, according to the reports. He said it was enjoyable to watch the royal couple at the screening and called them charismatic, elegant, fun and funny. He singled out Middleton’s sense of humor and intelligence, and complimented her appearance at the London event. Cruise said he had “so much respect” for the couple, citing their dedication to their country and what they contribute to the world. His remark about William’s marriage came after the praise for Middleton. Cruise added, “Way to go. Smart choice.” The comments were presented as lighthearted, rather than as a disclosure about the couple’s relationship. The sources report that William and Middleton attended the London premiere with Cruise, but do not give details of what they discussed there.
