Hollywood star Tom Cruise has been feted with the US Navy’s highest civilian honour for his “outstanding contributions” to the military with his work on screen. It was with the 1986's blockbuster "Top Gun", Cruise shot to fame, and the film's record-breaking success spiked military enlistment. The Distinguished Public Service Award was presented to Cruise during a ceremony on Tuesday at the Longcross Film Studios in Chertsey, Surrey. The 62-year-old star expressed his gratitude for the “extraordinary acknowledgement”.
