Anglophile Tom Cruise's Shock UK Departure

Hollywood star Tom Cruise, known for his deep affection for the UK, has unexpectedly returned to the United States. The 63-year-old actor, who had been residing in a £35 million apartment in London's Knightsbridge since 2021, has reportedly left his London base. Concierge staff at his penthouse property were said to be stunned by his sudden departure.

Cruise, who had long declared himself an Anglophile and even made films in the UK for 40 years, embraced British culture, enjoying pubs and local cuisine. He was a familiar figure at events alongside British high society and royalty, including attending King Charles's coronation concert and events with Prince William. His presence in the UK was significant, serving as both a professional headquarters and a personal retreat.

The abrupt nature of his departure, including the removal of blackout curtains he had installed, has fueled speculation, as the exact reasons for his return to the US are unclear. Sources close to Cruise indicated he loved his life in London, enjoying Hyde Park runs and countryside escapes.
