Cruise hails ‘visionary film-maker and friend’

HOLLYWOOD actor Tom Cruise has led tributes to his “dear friend” Tony Scott, the British director who died after jumping from a bridge in Los Angeles on Sunday.

Describing Scott as a “creative visionary”, he said his mark on film was “immeasurable”.

Last night, it emerged that the results from an autopsy on the Top Gun film-maker may not be known for six weeks.
