Tom Cruise surprised a delighted family on Monday as his helicopter landed in their garden.
The 59-year-old actor is currently in the UK filming the latest Mission: Impossible film – and his latest stint took him to Alison Webb’s Warwickshire garden.

In a BBC report, Alison revealed: ‘I thought it would be kind of cool for the kids to see the helicopter land in the garden.
‘He [Tom Cruise] basically arrived and got out and it was like “Wow”.’
‘He went straight over to the children for a chat, then came over and elbow bumped us and said thank you very much.’
