James Corden, the host of The Late Late Show, who is friends with the actor, revealed on his show Tuesday that the two were texting when they realized they were both in the UK at the same time, Corden was filming a show and Cruise was filming the last “Mission: Impossible” movie.
‘What? Are you here?’ Cruise wrote, according to Corden. ‘We have to find time to eat something. Are you in Coworth? I can land my heli there.’
Corden replied, “Here until August. Stay in St Johns Wood. I’d love to see you x.”
But Cruise was serious, writing, “We’re going to make it happen. Can I land my Heli in your yard? T.”
James replied with four smiley face emojis, to which Cruise quipped, “Does this mean no?”
Cruise had also been in the news for recently landing his helicopter on a local family’s field in the UK when the nearest airport was closed.
Corden joked that he would check, but it would probably be a no.
“I’ll measure it, but my guess is you can’t land a helicopter in St. Johns Wood,” he wrote.
To which Cruise replied, “You’d be surprised where I can actually land.”
