For more than 20 years, Tom Cruise has been synonymous with fast-paced action and daring stunts in the wildly successful Mission Impossible film series. Since the 1996 release of the first film, which starred Cruise as IMF agent Ethan Hunt, the series has won over audiences all over the world, solidifying its place as one of the most popular and enduring in movie history.

Tom Cruise Was Feeling Anxious About Returning to Sydney
As he walked the red carpet in Sydney for his much-anticipated action blockbuster, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, Tom Cruise looked sharp in a black suit and seemed delighted.
However, an insider said that underneath the friendly smiles on the red carpet, Tom Cruise was reportedly nervous about going back to Sydney, where he spent so much time with his ex-wife Nicole Kidman.
It seems that the actor may have gone well beyond to avoid any awkward interactions at his premiere by avoiding any possibility of an encounter with Nicole Kidman’s niece Lucia Hawley, who serves as the local red carpet anchor for Live From E!
“Tom was very strict about who was on that red carpet – he didn’t want any surprises,” says one source.
“Tom’s team weren’t taking any chances, and if Lucia’s name had been down as attending, Tom would have vetoed it. Lucia must have known it was inappropriate for her to be there,” says the source. “Nicole wouldn’t have approved of that, either.”
