Hollywood star Tom Cruise has enough reasons to trend as he has been spotted in South Africa’s Limpopo province.
According to reports, the Mission Impossible actor is in South Africa filming the latest installment of the action spy film franchise and fans are loving it.
The latest pics, tweeted by Limpopo Tourism Agency, show Cruise piloting and landing a helicopter in the lush bushes of Hoedspruit, Limpopo.
Smooth as ever the Top Gun actor was photographed emerging from the helicopter with his shades and a face mask on, waving to those who had gathered to spot him.
In a second tweet the agency thank the actor “for choosing our iconic destination to feature in the movie”.
Here in Limpopo Province, it will be Mission very much possible. Not Mission Impossible.
A warm welcome to @TomCruise and the entire film crew who are currently in Hoedspruit shooting a movie. #GoLimpopo#MoreToEnjoy

According to a fan Twitter account, Cruise was spotted flying over Oribi Gorge on the south coast of KwaZulu-Natal, last week.
A source on the film’s production team revealed that they will be “in Durban for three months as from 6 February for Mission Impossible and possibly a week in Cape Town”.
This comes after release dates for Mission Impossible 7 and 8 were pushed back to 2023 and 2024, THR reported.
“After thoughtful consideration, Paramount Pictures and Skydance have decided to postpone the release dates for Mission: Impossible 7 & 8 in response to delays due to the ongoing pandemic. The new release dates will be July 14, 2023, and June 28, 2024, respectively. We look forward to providing moviegoers with an unparalleled theatrical experience,” Paramount and Skydance said in a statement in January.
