Tom Cruise looked in good spirits as he enjoyed a helicopter ride in London on Thursday.
The actor, 61, arrived back to Battersea after being at Longcross in Surrey for the day filming Mission Impossible.
Tom was dressed casually for the outing as he sported a navy jumper and dark, slim-fitting jeans with white trainers.
Filming for the eighth instalment – which will likely be called Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two – has started up again after the actor’s strike delayed the production.
Tom has no doubt been eager to get back to work on the production after it had to be delayed due to the actor’s strike.

The Mission: Impossible film series, beginning in 1996, is based on a 1966 television series of the same name.
Production on the eighth film had originally halted so that the cast could promote Part One, and then the strike began causing further delays.
Along with Mission: Impossible, Tom is flying back into action for a new Top Gun sequel after the massive box office success of the previous entry.
Tom will be back as Captain Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell, and Paramount, which will be producing again, is hoping to reunite him with his recent costars Miles Teller and Glen Powell.
The news that Tom is back in business with Paramount — where he has released many of his recent films — comes just days after he signed up for a deal with Warner Bros. to produce and develop new films for that studio, including movies he’ll star in.
According to Puck News, Maverick co-writer Ehren Kruger is writing a script for the third entry in the series.
Sources told The Hollywood Reporter that director Joseph Kosinski is also expected to return after proving himself with the critical and commercial smash success.
Tom’s last deal with Paramount ended in 2006, despite his continued work with the studio, and the new deal with Warner Bros. is nonexclusive, which will allow him to still work with other studios.
