Absolute star of this edition of Cannes Film FestivalTop Gun: Maverick actor Tom Cruise wanted to praise young movie stars: Elle and Dakota Fanning.

The two young sisters have had and continue to have very successful careers, something that was clear was going to happen already on the set of War of the Worlds: “She said ‘I’ll be an actress’ and I said ‘I know you will be’ “ recalls Cruise “I was working with Dakota at the time, which is brilliant. And one day Elle was on set too, and I asked her ‘So, what are you going to do?’ And she said ‘I’m an actress’ and I ‘Yes, yes you are’“.
“It’s so nice to see these different generations, and all these actors here and your contribution to cinema“the actor then continued”So thank you!“.
And he concludes, thanking the spectators, the audience, the recipients of the stories on the screen: “I make films for all of you, and I feel really lucky to be able to do what I do. Know that I think of you in every business meeting, for every story we talk about and every time we discuss what we are doing“.
