Tom Cruise and Michael Caine have been good friends for a long time. In fact, Cruise was one of the few people who didn’t attend this year’s Academy Awards. Instead, he flew to London to celebrate Caine’s 90th birthday. As it turns out, missing the Oscars was well worth it, as Cruise and Caine had a great time together, celebrating their friendship and Caine’s impressive milestone. With so much celebrity news dominated by negative stories, it’s heartening to see two Hollywood icons share a genuine bond. Read on to learn more about their friendship and how they celebrated Caine’s big day.
Hollywood star Tom Cruise may have skipped the 2023 Oscars ceremony, but he made sure to attend a special occasion – Michael Caine’s 90th birthday celebrations in London. This news was reported by CNN after Deadline revealed that Cruise had missed the Oscars due to work commitments with filming for the next “Mission: Impossible” film currently underway.
Many celebrities attended the birthday party including David Walliams, Denise Welch apart from the Hollywood actor Tom Cruise as well. Walliams, a presenter, and author shared images of the party on Instagram, wishing the legendary Sir Michael Caine a happy 90th birthday.
Diners at the party were seen laughing as Welch made a risqué joke about Caine’s use of “Olympic condoms.” The evening was a memorable one as Cruise, 60, reunited with Caine, with whom he starred in the 2002 movie “Austin Powers in Goldmember.”
In addition to the party, other celebrities including actress Mia Farrow also took to social media to wish Caine a happy birthday, describing the English actor as a “funny and wise friend” who introduced her to Woody Allen.
Cruise has been credited with helping to revive the movie industry after the pandemic led to the closure of movie theaters around the world, and his latest release “Top Gun: Maverick” broke box office records as the highest-grossing movie of his career. The film was nominated for six Oscars, including Best Picture, and won the award for Best Sound.
Although Cruise didn’t physically attend the Oscars, his contribution to the industry was honored with a special skit by host Jimmy Kimmel. During Kimmel’s appearance, he was seen pretending to be part of the “Top Gun” movie franchise and even had a conversation with Cruise in the film, adding a comical touch to the event.
In summary, Tom Cruise may have missed the Oscars this year, but he made up for it by attending the birthday party of his longtime friend Michael Caine. Other British celebrities, including David Walliams and Denise Welch, also attended the party, which included laughter, jokes, and an overall good time. Despite not being physically present at the Oscars, Cruise was still celebrated with a special skit by Jimmy Kimmel, reminding audiences of his contribution to the film industry.
In conclusion, Tom Cruise’s gesture of celebrating Michael Caine’s 90th birthday is a reminder that true friendship is not about the glitz and glamour of Hollywood awards shows. Despite missing out on the Oscars, Cruise took the time to honor his friend and colleague, showing us that small acts of kindness can make a big difference. As Caine once said, “The best advice I’ve ever been given is being handed a Bible. That’s the blueprint for marriage that we go by, and that’s what our marriage is grounded in. We also have other married couples who are examples to us, and we’ve also read a lot of books on marriage. A good marriage takes work.” In the same way, friendships also require effort and commitment, and by celebrating Caine’s milestone birthday, Cruise showed us how to do it right. Here’s to many more years of their friendship and more Hollywood celebrations to come.
