Tom Cruise and Benedict Cumberbatch Enjoy Wimbledon from the Prestigious Royal Box in London

Tom Cruise accompanied Benedict Cumberbatch to The Championships Wimbledon 2024 in London on Sunday, where they were seated in the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club’s Royal Box.

The 62-year-old producer-star of Mission: Impossible looked great in an eggplant-colored suit with a white button-up and a lavender necktie, sporting his trademark shades.

Tom, whose real nаme is Thomas Mapother IV, was beaming and waving to his English admirers and even posed for photos with the complete cast of famous people who worked as wait staff at the nearby restaurant.

Isabella ‘Bella’ Kidman Cruise, the 31-year-old daughter of Cruise, shared a rare Instagram photo of her most recent artwork last Monday.

In addition, the four-time Oscar nominee adopted Connor Antony Cruise, 29, during his ten-year marriage to second wife Nicole Kidman, which terminated in 2001.

With his second wife, Katie Holmes, whom he paid $4.8 million in child support to after their six-year marriage ended in 2012, Tom is no longer in contact with his 18-year-old daughter Suri Noelle.

According to TMZ, Cruise also consented to cover Suri’s college tuition, “extracurricular costs,” and insurance, dental, and medical costs.

At Wimbledon, however, Benedict’s wife of nine years, Sophie Hunter, looked stunning in a sleeveless yellow dress thanks to the charms of the New York-born Scientologist.

The 46-year-old former director, who produced Cumberbatch’s movie The End We Start From as his final project, took a seat in between the actors.

The 48-year-old Emmy winner and Sophie first crossed paths in 1997. Together, they have three sons: Finn, 5, Christopher, 9, and Hal, 7.

Although Tom and Benedict have never worked together, they appeared to be very close when speaking during the Gentlemen’s Singles Final.

Alongside Olivia Colman, Kate McKinnon, and Andy Samberg, Cumberbatch started filming his part as Theo in Jay Roach’s upcoming satirical dramedy The Roses last month.

Christopher McQuarrie, who helmed Cruise in the last Mission: Impossible 8, which is slated to open in theaters in the US and the UK on May 23, 2025, was standing to his right.

Additionally, the 55-year-old Oscar-winning screenwriter will helm an R-rated version of Clint Eastwood’s 1977 thriller The Gauntlet starring Scarlett Johansson and the 5’7″ action star in January of next year.

Tom, who in January inked a contract with Warner Bros. Discovery, will also feature in an untitled Alejandro G. Iñárritu picture, a SpaceX project by Doug Liman, and the Edge of Tomorrow sequel, Live Ԁie Repeat and Repeat.

Julia Roberts and her husband Daniel Moder, who has been married for 22 years, were also sitting in the same row as Cumberbatch and Cruise.

All eyes, however, were on Catherine, Princess of Wales, who, despite being treated for an unidentified cаncer, received a standing ovation from the audience during a rare public visit.
