Jennifer Connelly was starstruck when she attended the London premiere of “Top Gun: Maverick.” And while most fans’ eyes were presumably on Tom Cruise, Connelly found herself searching for the royals. According to People, Connelly was interested in gauging Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge’s reaction to the flick. The actor told the outlet, “I kept peeking over to check their reactions, and they seemed to be having a great time.” Connelly later told Entertainment Tonight, “It was, you know, it’s a very special occasion.” She added, “Kate and William were both so gracious and reached out and shook our hands and they are just impeccable.” Connelly shared that when she met Wills she “definitely thought about” the time she met his mother.
This was not the first time that Connelly encountered a royal, you see. She had previously met his mother, Princess Diana, in 1986, when William was only 4 years old. Like his mother, the duke met Connelly at a red carpet event. The actor and mother-of-three even took to Instagram to share her memories. She started off the post, writing, “My last time at a Royal Premiere!” In the snap, a 15-year-old Connelly wore a demure, black dress, while the Princess of Wales sported a sophisticated cream dress. It shouldn’t be surprising that the flick that garnered the attention of the princess was the one that put Connelly on the map.
