Tom Cruise Kate And Beckham Men Strike It Rich At Digger World Premiere

The 64-year-old actor stars opposite Ahmed, Sandra Huller and Jesse Plemons in the film about an oil tycoon whose company sets off an ecological disaster, forcing Cruise’s billionaire character to embark on a mission to save humanity from his own mess.

William and Kate were at the premiere in central London on Tuesday, which was also a royal film performance, an exclusive event that highlights the achievements of those working behind the scenes in the UK film and TV industry.

Kate donned a purple floor-sweeping Jenny Packham dress accessorised with Diana, Princess of Wales’s earrings and the Queen Mother’s amethyst sautoir necklace, while William wore a black velvet tuxedo that attracted a compliment from Cruise, who greeted the prince with the words “great jacket”.

The Hollywood star wore a traditional black tuxedo with cummerbund and bow tie, but his patent leather cowboy boots were a surprising nod to his Digger character.

Co-star Ahmed, who opted for a single-breasted black blazer with flap pockets and wide-leg suit trousers, was accompanied by his mother in a traditional sari in red ombre tones.

British actor Ahmed was not the only star who attended the event with his family: Sir David brought along two of his sons, Cruz and Romeo, with the family trio all in tuxedos.

They posed for photographs alongside William and Kate, who were also seen talking to the cast of the satirical black comedy, including House Of The Dragon’s Emma D’Arcy, Everything Now actress Sophie Wilde and Call Me By Your Name’s Michael Stuhlbarg.

Filmmaker Alejandro G Inarritu, who won best director Oscars for The Revenant and Birdman, was also on the black carpet.

Digger actress Huller wore a gold deep V-neck gown with cape-like sleeves, while her co-star Wilde walked the carpet in a dark purple off-the-shoulder crinkled dress with sculptural draped layers and a neckline bow.

Known for his exuberance at premieres, Cruise spent time taking photographs with fans and also signed the white shirt of one man who was in the crowd.

Also in attendance, Salma Hayek wore a silk-caped black maxi dress while actress Jodie Turner-Smith wore a peach-toned backless pleated dress with ruffled sleeves.

Ted Lasso actress Hannah Waddingham also posed for photographs wearing a sparkly black strapless gown alongside her partner Nick Beresford-Cleary.

Digger will be out in cinemas in the UK from October 2.
