Cruise gave Canal a lift for the first time to the British premiere of Twisters on July 9. The singer-songwriter shared a video of herself in the pilot’s seat on her Instagram account with the caption: “Not Tom Cruise flying me and my brother in a helicopter to the premiere of @twistersmovie!!!! LOL.”

In the comments section she added: “We met backstage at (Glastonbury Festival) and were talking about the upcoming premiere we were both going to and he said, ‘Roll with me! I’ll take you in the helicopter!’ LOL.”

Cruise is said to have done so ever since lost a fortune on helicopter joyrides with his new friend. As our source said: “Tom may have his own helicopter, but it costs thousands and thousands of pounds to fly in and out of Battersea heliport.”
