The actor, 61, tamed his wild locks after he debuted his newly highlighted impressive head of hair earlier this week.

Tom was seen touching down at London’s Battersea Heliport after flying his own helicopter to the airstrip on Friday. He has had his pilot’s license since 1994 and owns several aircrafts.

The star seemed to be struggling with high winds as they blew his long locks all over the place, however by the evening he had his mane perfectly styled and brushed out.

Tom was joined by close friends as they enjoyed an evening out together as filming from Mission Impossible resumes after the SAG-AFTRA strikes.

The star looked in great spirits as he shook hands with the establishment’s manager and doormen and waved at passing cars before heading home in the early hours on Saturday morning.

Not afraid to splash the cash, Tom was then seen passing a rolled up £50 note to his personal assistant who passed it on to the staff inside the club.

The star arrived into London by private jet from Florida earlier this week as filming resumed for Mission Impossible 8.

Tom had paid a visit to the hairdressers and had a noticeably lighter highlighted look than the darker hairdo he was pictured in summer.

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 is no doubt eager to get back to work on the production after it had to be delayed due to the actor’s strike.

The actor was originally scheduled to return as field agent Ethan on June 28, 2024.

But it has been delayed by almost a year as studios are forced to rejig release dates after the actors’ strike.

Instead, Paramount Pictures has moved A Quiet Place: Day One into the slot, starring Emily Blunt.

Paramount has had to rejig its film release dates as the SAG-AFTRA actors’ strike is still ongoing, though the WGA writers’ strike has come to an end.

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.
