Tom Cruise was last at Cannes in 2022, when the film festival gave him an honorary Palme d’Or and, in return, got one of the last bona fide Hollywood stars to grace their red carpet as he launched “Top Gun: Maverick.”

Tom Cruise has been busy at the Cannes Film Festival promoting Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning, but the red carpet premiere had an unexpected Jerry Maguire reunion. Cruise received a 1996 Oscar nomination for the role of a slick sports agent who gets fired after writing a company-wide memo that goes against everything in his industry.
