Tom Cruise has driven and piloted some serious machinery in his time - a stock car in Days of Thunder; an F-14 fighter jet in Top Gun - but he met his match recently when faced with the mighty Grand Organ at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
Cruise was in the big round house for a special showing of his 2022 blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick, during which the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra provided a live accompaniment. The performance was conducted by Lorne Balfe, a producer and composer on the original soundtrack.
