So fly: The actor, 59, was spotted Wednesday touching down in Los Angeles after piloting his own plane

Tom took a hearty swig from his bottle and ditched the cardigan after leaving the plane. 

His red motorcycle was awaiting him on the tarmac, and the actor cruised his way out of the lot looking cool in his  leather jacket. 

Tom received his private pilots license in 1994, and even learned how to fly a helicopter for his role in Mission: Impossible – Fallout. He also flies in Top Gun: Maverick.

Staying cool: Cruise shielded himself from the sunrays with a blue cap 

Keeping it casual: The Jerry Maguire actor rocked blue jeans and a matching sweater 

‘The aerial footage is really beautiful,’ Tom said of his film at Comic-Con. ‘I’m a pilot myself, and I love flying, and I love aviation.’ 

Tom’s appearance comes several days after photos of him watching the San Francisco Giants play the LA Dodgers go viral.

While many Twitter users genuinely appeared skeptical that it was indeed Cruise at the game, others likened his appearance to Canadian stand-up Norm Macdonald, the former SNL star who passed away last month.

Others speculated as to how the actor’s face had changed.

‘Tom Cruise has either gained weight, or he has a face full of fillers. I’m going with the fillers,’ one person wrote.

Another simply asked: ‘What has Tom Cruise done to his face?’

However, some leaped to his defense, with a fan arguing: ‘Tom Cruise putting some weight on in his face because he’s prob not filming a movie requiring him to be in not-human shape and getting memed all over for it feels awfully yucky to me.’

Red-y or not: The superstar wore a worn leather jacket as he hopped on his bike

Another Twitter user wrote: ‘At first I felt a little bad that everyone was making fun of Tom Cruise’s face because it honestly looks like some sort of side effect to me.’

They added: ‘But then I remembered he’s spent decades criticizing people for taking meds. Drag that pillow face.’

The last tweet was in reference to Cruise’s comments about Brooke Shields.

Cruise previously suggested that the Church is against psychiatric drugs, having got into a public spat with Shields in 2005 over her use of antidepressants to battle postpartum depression.

But Shields hit back at Cruise after he called her actions ‘irresponsible.’

‘Tom should stick to saving the world from aliens and let women who are experiencing postpartum depression decide what treatment options are best for them,’ Shields said at the time.

The actress revealed that a year later, Cruise came over to her house to apologize.

‘I was so impressed with how heartfelt it was,’ she told Jay Leno in 2006. ‘And I didn’t feel at any time that I had to defend myself, nor did I feel that he was trying to convince me of anything other than the fact that he was deeply sorry. And I accepted it.’

Looking good! The Hollywood icon handled the bike like a pro
