Tom Cruise applauded Prince William’s “smart choice” to marry Kate Middleton.

At the Los Angeles premiere of Cruise’s new movie, “Digger,” on Monday, the “Top Gun” star recalled his pleasant interactions with the Prince and Princess of Wales at the movie’s world premiere in London last week.

“She’s got a great sense, incredible sense of humor,” the actor told “Extra” of Middleton.

“I mean, obviously very intelligent and fun … they’re so charismatic and so elegant; that dress that she was wearing? Stunning, absolutely stunning,” he added, referring to the mom of three’s custom purple long-sleeved Jenny Packham gown.

“William did well,” Cruise, 64, added with a wink. “Way to go. Smart choice.”

The “Mission: Impossible” star said it was “so fun” seeing the royal couple watch the film “be part of it.”

“I have so much respect for them, you know, they’re amazing people and how dedicated they are to their country and also … what they give to the world,” he said.

“They’re just beautiful people and fun, very funny,” Cruise gushed.

The action star mingled with William and Middleton, both 44, last Tuesday at the ODEON Luxe Leicester Square.

Page Six obtained photos of the trio sharing laughs and chatting at the event.
