HOLLYWOOD star Tom Cruise stunned ex-Blackburn striker Kevin Gallacher after the former footballer spotted him filming Mission Impossible 7.
The 59-year-old actor has been in England shooting his latest movie in the famous franchise since last September.
And to the amazement of ex-Scotland international Gallacher, Cruise came strolling past them while they were exploring the countryside.
Speaking on , he said: "We went for a walk and noticed a helicopter flying up and down the hills, wondering why!
"We walked around the lake to find campervans and tents and a second helicopter, overhead we had paragliders.
"To our amazement @TomCruise came walking past. What a day to finish our weekend."
Gallacher hung up his boots in 2002 after nearly two decades playing the game.
The Scot netted 134 goals in 525 games for a number of clubs including Dundee United, Coventry City, Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United.

He was also capped 53 times for Scotland, scoring nine goals for his country.
Gallacher was a part of the Scottish squads that went to Euro '92, Euro '96 and World Cup '98.
Meanwhile, earlier this week Cruise was seen landing in a helicopter as he finished shooting the highly publicised film.
Over the last year he has been seen performing death-defying stunts himself, after refusing to use a stuntman.

Filming has taken longer this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
In December last year Tom was secretly recorded telling staff they are “f*****g gone” if they break strict Covid-19 rules and delay filming even further.
The movie - which is expected out in cinemas next May - also hit ANOTHER roadblock in June when Tom was told to self-isolate for two weeks after 14 crew got Covid.
