Tom Cruise likes parties, especially his own.
The Mission: Impossible hero was just in London, where he has a glamorous apartment for entertaining.
The Scientologist star, who has extra time on his hands now because of the SAG-AFTRA strike, recently hosted one of his regular Sunday afternoon tea parties.
Cruise invites guests to his sprawling apartment at the exclusive 1 Hyde Park apartment building where he occupies an entire floor near the top of the building.
The parties always start at 4pm. Cruise’s chef prepares an elaborate spread of traditional tea and scones, a healthy buffet and drinks.
When the superstar brings in outside staff or a DJ, they are required to sign long and specific non-disclosure agreements.
Guests sign shorter versions saying that no selfies or photos are allowed. If anyone breaks the “code of silence” they aren’t invited back.
Spies in the lobby say they “see lots of beautiful women coming and going from the apartment on Sundays,” said a source.
“Tom loves to blast the music loudly, the beats can be heard in the building, which is why he gives a tea party in the afternoon so no one complains about the noise. Tom is always polite and considerate of his neighbours. The parties generally end by 7 or 8pm at the latest.” – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service
