On March 31, Princess Diana had a cheeky list of potential dates back in the 90s, and Tom Cruise got crossed off quick. She told her palace chef, Darren McGrady, he just didn't measure up, literally, after meeting him up close. It started at a movie premiere in 1992 for Far and Away, where she first linked up with Cruise and his wife, Nicole Kidman. A few years later, newly separated, Diana took Princess William and Harry to the set of mission, impossible at Pinewood Studios in London. The boys loved the explosions in action, but Diana came back quiet, then dropped the line to McGrady, and Cruise was too short for her at 5 feet 7. Inches next to her 5 feet 10, McGrady, who cooked for Diana over 15 years, including her last four as personal chef, shared this fun story on his YouTube channel, and it, resurfaced recently. Even after Diana's passing, Cruise stayed tight with the royals. He attended her funeral, and lately walked red carpets with William and Kate at Tom.

Gun, Maverick in 2022, plus events like the London Air Ambulance Gala this year. Royals and Hollywood keep mixing it up. This has been Entertainment and Celebrity News today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with The Story.
