The First Photos of Tom Cruise in South Africa
Mission Impossible 8 is already filming
Actor Tom Cruise was spotted in Namibia in December, where he was possibly scouting potential filming locations for the latest installment of the successful spy series.
Some South Africans are seeing stars in broad daylight after Hollywood legend Tom Cruise reportedly flew over KZN's south coast in his own helicopter and was also seen in Hoedspruit Limpopo, where he was warmly greeted and flashed by a resident.
A Twitter update also revealed photos of the aircraft that arrived in Hoedspruit (Limpopo) as part of a major stunt for the film.
A resident of Hoedspruit, known for her leopard spotting and photography skills, also spotted the actor and took a picture of him. According to the said resident, Gillian Leigh Soames, she saw Mr. Cruise flying over her house in a helicopter. To add some spice to it, Gillian decided to flash him, and the helicopter flashed her back," as she announced on social media.
Cruise and the team are expected to remain in the Limpopo region for about two months, where the Blyde River Canyon, just an hour away, will be one of the film's locations.
And Cape Town residents can also look forward to celebrity spotting, as Cruise and the Mission Impossible team are also expected to travel to the Mother City for further filming!
Cruise is the latest addition to the celebrity brigade in South Africa. David Dobrik and Logan Paul (both known for their YouTube presences) have also been in South Africa as tourists this year.
