Hollywood star Tom Cruise hit the red carpet in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday (February 3) for the Brazilian premiere of his latest film "Valkyrie".
Cruise, who came to Brazil with his wife Katy Holmes and daughter Suri, said he had been looking forward to coming to Rio for a long time and would like to make a film in the Latin American country.
Fans lined up at the red carpet outside the Odeon film theater at which his movie was to be premiered to greet Cruise and his wife, US actress Katie Holmes.
Fans showed up early for the chance at a photograph or autograph.

"I like him as an actor, and it's for that reason I have been here since five in the afternoon. But I got a photograph and a picture,"
Brazilian fan Leandro Oliviera said.
The World War Two thriller "Valkyrie" is based on a true story and details the unsuccessful attempt by German soldiers to kill Hitler. In the film Cruise plays Colonel Claus Von Stauffenberg who plants a briefcase bomb under a table at Hitler's military headquarters. A heavy wooden table saves Hitler and Stauffenberg is executed with his co-conspirators.
Stauffenberg's legacy helped ease the burden of guilt about World War Two and the Holocaust Germans still endure. But Germans had balked at the prospect of Cruise playing Stauffenberg as they objected to the actor's ties to Scientology, the movement founded in the 1950s by science fiction writer L.
Ron Hubbard.
Germany, which does not recognize Scientology as a religion and regards it as a cult, made it difficult for the crew to film in the Bendlerblock building and courtyard where Stauffenberg was shot dead.

"Valkyrie" also stars Kenneth Branagh, Bill Nighy and Eddie Izzard. Close
