Seoul, May 8, 2025 – Alden Richards was a man on a mission. 

The newly crowned Philippine Box Office King recently flew to Seoul, South Korea, to join the red carpet premiere of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, and there he met Hollywood superstar and action legend Tom Cruise. 

“Ethan meets Ethan… I have no words!” wrote Richards on Instagram where he posted a video of his meet-and-greet with Cruise. Ethan is the name of Richards’s character in the box-office breaking “Hello, Love, Goodbye” and “Hello, Love, Again” movies.
