Tom Cruise spotted at Goodwood Festival of Speed in West Sussex

While many eagle-eyed football fans noticed the actor sat alongside David Beckham at Wembley stadium for the Euro 2020 final, he also took a trip to West Sussex before England’s match against Italy.

The festival, one of the highlights of the automotive calendar, was cancelled last year due to Covid-19 restrictions.

Having taken place between Thursday, July 8, and Sunday, July 11, this year’s festival was able to go ahead at the grounds of Goodwood House in West Sussex as a pilot event under the government’s Events Research Programme.

The event attracted a number of A-list celebrities including Chris Evans, Jackie Stewart, Mario Andretti and the Mission Impossible star.

The 59-year-old was seen enjoying the festivities and was pictured alongside the Duke of Richmond at the final day of the festival.

But he did not hang around too long in Chichester, as just hours later he was seen waving to fans at Wimbledon where he watched Novak Djokovic and Matteo Berrettini go head-to-head at 2pm in the men's singles final.

This year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed event celebrated 2020’s planned theme of The Maestros - Motorsport’s Great All-Rounders, featuring drivers, teams and manufacturers who’ve succeeded across a variety of motorsport disciplines.

The festival featured events including the central feature, the rally state and the hillclimb – the showpiece event where a variety of vehicles including F1 cars of past and present, supercars and rally cars head up the driveway of the estate.

A commemorative display was also held for Sir Stirling Moss, one of the founding patrons of the Festival of Speed, who died last April.

Radio DJ Greg James was first to poke fun at the Top Gun star's busy Sunday schedule in a tweet that read: “What events have you got planned next week that you could invite Tom Cruise to?”

A fellow Twitter user added: “Fully expecting Tom Cruise to show up at school sports day.”

Another commented: “There are many Tom Cruises. That is my theory.”
