James Corden shares Tom Cruise texts revealing plans to land helicopter in garden

Gavin and Stacey star James Corden has revealed Tom Gun actor Tom Cruise plans to land a helicopter in his garden.

The Late Late Show host shared a text conversation from the pair, in which Tom casually quipped he was going to fly to James' home in London for dinner.

Tom, 59, is currently in the UK filming Mission: Impossible 7 and was delighted to find out the Carpool Karoke host was also in the country.

The banter started with James texting Tom: "I’m in London until mid-August, filming a new show. Let me know if you wanna grab a green juice x x x."

To which Tom reportedly replied: "What? You are here? We gotta find some time to grab some dinner. Are you at Coworth? I can land my Heli there!"

"Here till august. Staying in St Johns Wood. Would love to see you x," James replied.

Delighted at the prospect Tom said: "We are going to make that happen. Can I land my Heli in your yard?"

A bemused James replied with a flurry of laughing emojis.

"Does this mean no?" Tom texted back.

James quipped: "I’ll measure it out, but my hunch is you can’t land a helicopter in St Johns Wood."

To which Tom bragged back: "You’d be surprised where I can land!"

The veteran actor has been making good use of the rotorcraft in recent weeks.

Tom made one family's day in Warwickshire after he landed in their garden in the helicopter.

Alison Webb and her family were previously told that an unnamed VIP would need to land in their garden for a film, due to Coventry Airport being temporarily closed.

As a thank you, Tom let her kids take a ride in the helicopter for free, and posed for plenty of pics with the stunned family.

"I thought it would be kind of cool for the kids to see the helicopter land in the garden," Alison told the BBC.

She continued: "He [Tom Cruise] basically arrived and got out and it was like, 'Wow'.

"He went straight over to the children for a chat, then came over and elbow bumped us and said thank you very much."

And Tom's tour of the Midlands didn't end there. The actor also sampled the delights of Indian restaurant Asha's in Birmingham.

The A-lister treated himself to two Chicken Tikka Masalas costing £19.45 during a break from filming. It's also reported Tom left staff at the restaurant a healthy £60 tip.

He sampled the cuisine with friends and director Christopher McQuarrie and stayed for two hours almost unnoticed telling owners he didn't want any special treatment or any fuss to be made.

Tom's new film Mission: Impossible 7 is set to be released in May 2022.
