am truly honored by this acknowledgment. I’ve been making films in the U.K. for
over 40 years and have no plans to stop. The U.K. is home to incredibly
talented professionals — actors, directors, writers, and crews, as well as some
of the most stunning locations in the world. I’m grateful for all the BFI has
done to support U.K. filmmaking and this incredible art form we share.”

- BFI Chair, Jay Hunt added, “We are thrilled to be honoring
Tom Cruise with a BFI Fellowship. Tom has brought so much to the UK as a
producer by choosing to make many of his films on our shores, where he is
welcomed by our crews who step up to help make his cinematic visions a reality.
In doing so, he also supports our studios and puts our locations on a world
stage, in the process creating jobs and inspiring the next generation of film
talent. He is, of course, also simply one of the world’s great actors and a
true movie star, delighting audiences as the action hero and romantic lead and
then surprising us with brave, leftfield roles where his versatility and talent
shine through.”
