Tom Cruise has been a regular fixture in London while filming a new blockbuster, and he was spotted again on Saturday night living it up in the West End.

Tom Cruise, 50, beamed with happiness after he dined at London’s The Ivy restaurant with friends, believed to include Touched by an Angel actress Roma Downey and her husband Mark Burnett.

The Top Gun star was spotted leaving the plush restaurant wearing his trademark aviators, black trousers and a dark jumper.

Tom Cruise is currently in London filming sci-fiction thriller All You Need Is Kill, which stars the actor as a soldier who dies in during battle against aliens.

However, Tom Cruise finds that he can relive his last day over and over again, and becomes more skilled as time goes on.

Directed by The Bourne Identity’s Doug Liman, the film also stars Emily Blunt and Titanic’s Bill Paxton as the tough leader of Tom Cruise’s platoon.

Since he began filming in London last month, Tom Cruise has managed to find the city’s nightspots with ease, and he was seen leaving Annabel’s private members’ restaurant and nightclub last week in the early morning.

Filming the movie in London has seen criticism aimed Tom Cruise’s way after it was reported it’s been over 50 days since he was publicly spotted with his six-year-old daughter Suri.

However, the actor’s lawyer Bert Fields has hit out at the suggestions Tom Cruise isn’t a devoted father, insisting the Hollywood icon speaks to his daughter “every day”.

Bert Fields added: “Tom has been in England shooting a film. He calls Suri every day, sometimes twice a day.

“He loves Suri and is a constant presence in her life. As in the past, when he’s shooting in a foreign country, he has to rely on daily phone calls.”

Suri Cruise lives with her mother Katie Holmes after her fatherand the former Dawson’s Creek divorced earlier this year.

He was last seen with his daughter during a daddy day out at Disney World in Orlando, Florida on August 16.

Tom Cruise is believed to be considering a permanent base in New York so he can spend more time with his daughter.
