Hollywood star Tom Cruise braved freezing Berlin temperatures yesterday to spend time on the red carpet with fans at the European premiere of 'Valkyrie'.

Hollywood's biggest star Tom Cruise visits Bild 'Valkyrie' star reveals why he loves Berlin Hollywood actor Tom Cruise stopped by the BILD offices in Berlin to discuss his new film 'Valkyrie' and why he loves the German capital so much.

Tom Cruise in 'Valkyrie' "I would also have tried to kill Hitler!" Hollywood megastar Tom Cruise told BILD that he would have tried to kill Hitler like Claus von Stauffenberg, who he plays in the hit film 'Valkyrie'.

Charming Cruise was a model Hollywood star as he spent a total of 102 minutes chatting to fans and signing autographs!

Those who had waited in the cold to see him were no doubt thankful for the hot drinks and handwarmers that Cruise had distributed amongst the crowd.

“What a welcome” he said. “And it happens every time I come to Germany!”

His wife Katie Holmes looked beautiful in a black Escada dress but was not dressed for the cold, so hurried inside the Potsdamer Platz cinema.

The German actors in Valkryrie were also in attendance: Carice van Houten (32), Christian Berkel (51) and Thomas Kretschmann (46). Kretschmann spoke about his most exciting day on set: “I had to be on time on the first day of filming, so Tom sent a helicopter to fly me from Tempelhof to the location – even though I am scared of flying. It was simply incredible.”

The premiere started at 8pm, but Tom promised his fans to come out and sign more autographs afterwards. “I am a bit freezing,” he admitted.

There was a five-minute standing ovation when the film ended.

Tom and Katie then greeted people outside before they had to return to the hotel to fly to London the next day.
