He also revealed how he can relax in Britain without being mobbed by fans and autograph hunters, and he particularly likes our cows and sheep.
Cruise, 60, said: "I guess I am an Anglophile. I spend a lot of time in Britain and that's not just for work reasons. I just love being here.
"It's a fantastic blend of old and new. I love seeing the sights, the Tower of London, Nelson's Column, Buckingham Palace and all those fantastic places which are just full of history.
"Britain is trendy, too, and has a lot that other countries then copy. I also love the British countryside.
"Seeing cows and sheep in the fields here is just so very British and just like we see in the movies in America.
