Nice to see you: Tom Cruise gatecrashed an interview that James May was in the middle of as he got snubbed by The Stig at the London Jack Reacher premiere on Monday

Top Gear's James May was in the middle of an interview and had The Stig standing in silence next to him.

As James was busy talking and answering questions about his popular show Tom Cruise suddenly jumped into view of the camera.



The Minority Report actor greeted James, 49, like they were old friends, but The Stig was less than impressed to see him.



How very rude: The Stig wasn't fussed that the world's biggest star was trying to shake his hand

Nothing to declare: The Stig kept his lips sealed as Tom and James discussed his origin

Having a laugh: Tom took it all in good fun as he knows exactly how The Stig operates

As Cruise reached out his hand to say hello The Stig completely ignored him and gave him a serious A-List snub.



Luckily, Tom understands that the petrol-head never speaks and said jokingly: 'He doesn't talk, he doesn't shake hands either, how are you man?'



With The Stig not thawing, Tom continued to address James while the two men caught up.



Just like old times: Tom reminisced about his time on Top Gear and said he really enjoyed himself

Big mistake: Tom may have been snubbed but he still defended The Stig and his origins when questioned about it

I'm outta here: Tom had other commitments but said bye to James before asking for a photograph with the pair

James explained to Cruise that The Stig didn't like him because he wasn't in the movie, but Tom replied: 'I did (all) the driving in the movie, sorry Stig.'



Reminiscing about his time on Top Gear in 2011, tom said: 'I had so much fun doing that show'.



Proving how much of a good guy he really is, Tom even defended The Stig when James struggled to answer a question from a reporter.



With May stuttering when trying to explain where his masked friend is from, Tom said right on cue: 'This is the Stig. He's a racing creature from race space.'

Just the two of us: The Stig didn't offend Tom Cruise as the movie star had previously worked with him on Top Gear VIDEO: The moment Tom Cruise is snubbed by The Stig!...
