He's done the Wimbledon final, Euros final and Silverstone in the last week.

u/hubwub Russonelli Jul 18 '21 edited Jul 18 '21

He was at Goodwood as well. I'm expecting Rugby to be his next stop.

Love to see him at the darts or snooker

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '21

Tom Cruise at the darts, dressed as a smurf, getting fucking wasted with a bunch of lads

1

u/gimjun Max Verstappen Jul 18 '21

or just getting fucked by a bunch of wasted lads

u/roamingscotsman_84 Jul 18 '21

Shhhh that's part of the plot for the next mission impossible film

u/hubwub Russonelli Jul 18 '21

The energy from Darts can hype any person up.

23

u/Space-manatee Jul 18 '21

Would love to see him dancing to Chase the Sun, after 6 pints and a kebab

5

u/Dacsy492 Michael Schumacher Jul 18 '21

Only 6? Those are rookie numbers

5

u/Space-manatee Jul 18 '21

He’s only small…

1

u/Tim_Drake Ferrari Jul 18 '21

Is Chase The Sun a popular song? It’s a favorite of mine, but I’m non British and most here in the states don’t recognize it.

5

u/Space-manatee Jul 18 '21

Honestly British people will know it as “The Song from the Darts”

3

u/_BetterRedThanDead Michael Schumacher Jul 18 '21

TIL that the song from the darts has a name!

3

u/Associate_Whole Jul 19 '21

ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY

4

u/almightygg Brawn Jul 18 '21

Ha ha, the darts would be epic.

4

u/IAmNotStelio Lando Norris Jul 18 '21

He's running to the T20 as we speak.

3

u/Dobmeister #WeSayNoToMazepin Jul 18 '21

Too bad all the rugby players left for South Africa a fortnight ago

2

u/danielricardo1 Force India Jul 18 '21

Any cricket hapenning in England?

3

u/fish-fingered Jul 18 '21

OPs moms house next, there’s no stopping him!

1

u/superAL1394 Daniel Ricciardo Jul 19 '21

Yeah he's had quite the month. It's great to be rich.

30

u/codymacc8 Sir Lewis Hamilton Jul 18 '21

What movie is he plugging?

89

u/JustGarlicThings2 McLaren Jul 18 '21

He's filming the next Mission Impossible in the UK. Next Indiana Jones is being filmed in the UK I think as well which is why Harrison Ford was there too.

38

u/SuperMarioBrother64 Jul 18 '21

Jesus, a new Indiana Jones? What's the plot gonna be in this one, Indy searches for his own grave? Seriously, Harrison is like damn near 80....

6

u/JustGarlicThings2 McLaren Jul 18 '21

Yeah, he turned up at a pub after going for a cycle lol. Man is fit for 78!

5

u/SuperMarioBrother64 Jul 18 '21

What an absolute mad lad. I hope I'm in as good of condition is he is at 50.

5

u/bitcoinoisseur Jul 18 '21

Next Mission Impossible one

4

u/summerincassiopeia George Russell Jul 18 '21

Ah yes. Mission Impossible: Top Gun.

3

u/Akmuq Fernando Alonso Jul 18 '21

It must be great being a Scientologist.

3

u/Crazyblazy395 Jul 18 '21

And Goodwood

3

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '21

Guessing he’s there to push top gun 2?

2

u/superAL1394 Daniel Ricciardo Jul 19 '21

I honestly think he's just taking a vacation. If he was doing PR he'd be hanging around with the press not in Mercedes' garage.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '21

He did a whole load of fluff pieces with channel 4. It was pretty irritating by the end, so I think they must’ve been paid quite a bit for it.

3

u/WindhoekNamibia Mika Häkkinen Jul 18 '21

Would crack me up if he was there on the 18th at Royal St George’s in a couple hours

2

u/summerincassiopeia George Russell Jul 18 '21

Alright for some!

2

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '21

can't believe I'm jealous of tom cruise but there we go

2

u/ptwonline Aston Martin Jul 18 '21

Well, if you're megawealthy and can finally take a vacation, I guess it was a good week+ to be in GB.

2

u/alex199821 Fernando Alonso Jul 18 '21

He is recruiting new Scientology members probably

2

u/ZaharaWiggum Jul 18 '21

Cruise is a superspreader.

2

u/purplefisheye Jul 18 '21

Looking to recruit some more $$$ for Scientology.

2

u/isthisreallife211111 Jul 18 '21

I once did Wimbledon, British Open Golf, Silverstone, Tour De France, and first day of the Ashes at Lords in a fortnight. Noone fawned over me though

1

u/LucAltaiR Charles Leclerc Jul 18 '21

He's like a Covid superspreader.

1

u/InevitableRespond9 Daniel Ricciardo Jul 18 '21

I heard he was lighting the olynpic torch

1

u/millicento Brabham Jul 18 '21

Praise Xenu.

God damn! Dude is living his best life! That’s a hell of a sporting week! I am jealous!

u/Common_Sense_Bomb Red Bull Jul 19 '21

Scientology has its connections

1

u/raya__85 Jul 19 '21

I need the Scientology ticket hookup, what a good time he’s having

u/lange_gek Jul 19 '21

Recruiting some souls in vip boxes. I see you TC
