Tom Cruise takes singer Victoria Canal and her brother on helicopter ride

Tom Cruise was recently clicked giving his new friend, singer-songwriter Victoria Canal, a lift in London in true Tom Cruise fashion. The Top Gun actor, 62, and Canal, 25, were seen travelling together in a helicopter piloted by Cruise himself.

On Friday (Jul 12), the pair was photographed at a London helipad, where Cruise landed the helicopter and assisted Canal out of the aircraft. He also helped her zip up her fuzzy coat before escorting her off the runway. Cruise opted for a casual look with a dark T-shirt, black puffy coat, and sweatpants, while Canal sported a dark green sweater and baggy jeans under her coat.

This isn't the first time Cruise has flown Canal. On Tuesday (Jul 9) the duo arrived at the premiere of Twisters via helicopter. Canal shared a video on her Instagram account featuring Cruise in the pilot's seat. "Not Tom Cruise flying me and my brother in a heli to the @twistersmovie premiere!!!!" she captioned the video.

The video, taken by Canal from the helicopter's backseat, shows Cruise wearing a headset and aviator sunglasses as they soar over a green field. Canal also posted selfies with Cruise and her brother, Nick Canal, at the Twisters premiere.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fans and fellow musicians flooded Canal's Instagram comments with questions about how she met Cruise and why he offered her and her brother a ride. She explained, "We met backstage at [Glastonbury Festival] and talked about the upcoming premiere we were both going to and he said, 'Roll with me! I'll take you guys in the heli!' lol."

Both Canal and Tom attended Coldplay's 2024 Glastonbury Festival set on Saturday (Jun 29). Canal even made a surprise appearance onstage to perform "Paradise" with the band. 

Later, in a conversation with BBC Radio 1, she revealed that it was a last-minute addition. "[Chris Martin] Facetimed me and said, 'Hey Vic, do you know the song 'Paradise' by Coldplay?' " she recounted, eliciting laughs from the host. "And I was like, 'Yes, I do know that song.' And he was like, 'Would you want to sit in at Glastonbury?' And I was like, 'Sure!'"

Reflecting on her performance, Victoria said, "I literally blacked out. I literally cannot tell you what happened. All I remember before getting onstage, I was jumping up and down to all their other songs, and looking around and Paul McCartney was backstage, Tom Cruise is in the balcony, and all these crazy A-listers. ... It just felt so fast."
