Tom Cruise will be at the coronation concert that will take place a day after King Charles’ coronation. According to a Variety report, Nicole Scherzinger (the face of Pussycat Dolls) and Winnie the Pooh will be also attending the concert.
All these names have earlier also appeared in royal events. In 1997, the ‘Top Gun: Maverick‘ actor was a guest at the funeral of the late Princess Diana. Last year, Nicole took part in the Platinum Jubilee pageant in honor of Queen Elizabeth II.
Pooh also took part in 2006 at a children’s garden party to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s 80th anniversary. Both Cruise and Pooh will appear alongside Joan Collins, Tom Jones, dancer Oti Mabuse, and Bear Grylls. All of them will do several pre-recorded VTs where they will talk about the lesser-known facts about Charles.
