Film star Tom Cruise is reported to be looking for a property on the small Mediterranean island of Malta – where fellow film star Brad Pitt also has a home. Requirements apparently include six bedrooms, a swimming pool and a gym - as well as a 200 square foot living room!
A report in The Times of Malta suggests that he fell in love with the island when he visited Brad Pitt earlier this year. Mr Cruise who is currently promoting 'Ghost Protocol' is reportedly returning to Malta for filming at the end of 2012, but prefers to buy a property, rather than rent.
His arrival on the island takes place in a year when the European Film Academy Awards are taking place there. Malta is also beginning preparations to be the European Capital of Culture in 2018. The awe inspiring sea facing capital Valletta is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
