After famously becoming dubbed ‘two curries Cruise’ during his last visit, Tom stopped by Asha’s on Newhall Street for another double dose of Chicken Tikka Masala.

Following a stint of additional filming at Grand Central, whilst meeting some adoring fans, it was back to the Grand Hotel for some well-deserved rest.

Unfortunately, getting across the city the next day proved to be Mission: Impossible for Tom as his car was stolen once again outside the city-centre hotel.
