Tom Cruise has gushed about the kindness of a group of Derry strangers, as he once broke down on Irish soil.
The actor was visiting the Irish county when he noticed his rental car had a flat tire – but it wasn’t long until some helpful hands came along.
“I was just so impressed that people could be that friendly to pull over so quickly and offer to help a complete stranger,” he said.

The American revealed that the helpful Derry natives had no idea who he was when they pulled over to help him.
“We were just leaving the city limits of Derry, Ireland when I noticed that we had a flat tire so I pulled over to the side of the road and we were about to call the car company,” he told Channel 16 News.
“But then just a minute or two later there were two, maybe three cars that pulled over behind us and offered to put the spare on. So I let them.
“I mean, I was just so impressed that people could be that friendly to pull over so quickly and offer to help a complete stranger. You have to understand that this is something that would’ve never happened in L.A..
“And they had no idea who I was before they pulled over. So yeah, that’s my story about Derry. It’s nice to know that there are still places like this in the world.”
