Washington, Jan 20 : American actor Tom Cruise has revealed that he will be watching the inauguration of Barack Obama as US's new president on board a plane travelling to London.

Cruise is currently in Germany for the Berlin premiere of his hit new movie Valkyrie on January 20, which means that he will miss out on the inauguration.

But the Top Gun star definitely does not want to miss out on the event, and has plans of taping the TV special, so that he can catch up with the historic event as he flies to Britain.

"We''re gonna be at the premiere but it''s all gonna be recorded so that when I get on a plane to London, that''s what we''re gonna be watching," Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

Cruise will be premiering his new Nazi drama in seven countries in the next 14 days. (ANI)
