Tom Cruise hasn’t spent a lot of time in LA the last few years. He’s in London a lot, especially when he’s shooting, or in Florida, close to Scientology HQ. Which is why we don’t really associate him with Los Angeles and Hollywood anymore. Not the way we associate so many others. 

But Tom is currently working on the Top Gun sequel. They’ve been training and prepping with the US Navy, at the naval airbase in San Diego. So he’s back in California, at least for the next little while. And he was seen out for dinner in Beverly Hills on Saturday night. Look at these pictures. They are making my life. 

We already know that Tom Cruise doesn’t half-step…at anything. Not when he’s running, not when he’s jumping, not when he’s kissing, and not even when he’s having dinner. He is having the SH-T out of this dinner. Right? Have you ever seen anyone more engaged at dinner than Tom Cruise at dinner? 

I really, really want to have dinner with him. I really want to know what it’s like to be with Tom Cruise when he’s performing dinner. Does he kill at dinner party anecdotes? Does he listen more intently at your dinner party anecdotes than anyone has ever listened to your dinner party anecdotes? You would probably leave dinner with Tom Cruise feeling better than you have about yourself in a long time.
