Tom Cruise was last at Cannes in 2022, when the film festival gave him an honorary Palme d’Or and, in return, got one of the last bona fide Hollywood stars to grace their red carpet as he launched “Top Gun: Maverick.”

A glitzy Hollywood premiere is part of the Cannes lore and this year Mission: Impossible arrived with Tom Cruise and cast.

Impossible franchise is over, then it was quite a send-off for a star whose enthusiasm — and dedication to insane stunts — hasn’t dimmed.
