Tom Cruise’s life in pictures as he turns 60 – from teen actor to one of Hollywood’s biggest heavyweights
Share this with
It is a big weekend if your name is Tom Cruise and you’re a massive Hollywood heavyweight, as the action hero is celebrating his 60th birthday today.
He has a lot to celebrate at the moment, as Top Gun sequel Maverick is currently flying high at the box office, easily smashing through the $1billion mark worldwide.
That’s definitely a huge gift within itself.
There is no denying that he’s still at the top of his game, but how does he do it?
In honor of Tom’s milestone big day, we’ve taken a stroll down memory lane to relieve some of his best moments and see what makes the Cruiser the last of the Hollywood icons.
1962: Cruise was born in Syracuse, New York. His full name was Thomas Cruise Mapother IV, but he was shrewd enough to shorten it.
Suddenly, he stopped sounding like an absent-minded uncle in a Dickens novel and started sounding like a super-cool movie star.
1983: Risky Business. You may not remember much about this teen comedy drama, but everyone remembers Cruise being simultaneously silly and sexy as he dances around in his shirt, pants and socks. A star was born!
1989: Born On The Fourth of July. Cruise proved that he was more than a set of shiny teeth by playing Ron Kovic, Vietnam veteran turned anti-war activist.
He earned the first of his three Oscar nominations, the last of which was for Magnolia in 2000. The last for now, that is …
1999: Eyes Wide Shut. Cruise and Nicole Kidman signed up for six months’ work on Stanley Kubrick’s erotic psychodrama, but they stuck it out for 15 months, hence Eyes Wide Shut holds the Guinness World Record for the longest ever unbroken film shoot.
Cruise is no quitter – although his marriage to Kidman broke down soon afterwards.
2000: Mission: Impossible 2. Cruise dangled by one hand from a cliff, 2000 feet above the Utah desert.
And that’s really him doing the dangling, even if he had a safety rope which was digitally erased.
Of course, the scene was hardly essential to the story, but it gave the Mission: Impossible series its raison d’etre: to show audiences a Hollywood legend doing his own insanely demanding stunts. A risky business, indeed.
2005: The Sofa Incident. Here’s where things went a bit wrong. Cruise was on The Oprah Winfrey Show to promote War Of The Worlds, but he raved about Katie Holmes and jumped on Oprah’s sofa instead.
Between this loved-up gymnastics display and his attacks on psychiatry, Cruise acquired an unfortunate reputation for being a weirdo Scientologist.
Lesson learnt; he’s been a lot quieter about his private life ever since.
2007: Lions For Lambs. This smug political drama isn’t great, but it IS directed by Robert Redford, and it remains the most recent example of Cruise working with a really big-name director.
Young Cruise makes a point of ticking them off: Kubrick, Steven Spielberg, Oliver Stone, Michael Mann, etc. But now he prefers to be the boss himself.
Whoever the director may be, it’s Cruise’s vision of what constitutes an efficiently entertaining film that counts. Fair enough. If it weren’t for such control freakery, he probably wouldn’t have maintained his megastar status.
But wouldn’t it be exciting if he collaborated with a challenging auteur once again?
2012: Jack Reacher. Cruise hasn’t made many iffy career choices, but deciding that he was the man to play Lee Child’s 6 ft 5 inch blonde vigilante was one of them.
2017: The Mummy. Okay, so this is another iffy choice. Let’s move swiftly on.
Still, the film was written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie, who has since made every instalment of Mission: Impossible, so at least Cruise got a trusty new creative partner out of the deal.
2022: Top Gun: Maverick. A sequel to the most 1980s-ish of all 1980s movies, released 36 years after the original?
It should have been a disaster, but Cruise’s obsessive quality control paid off – and the fact that he hadn’t aged a day since the first film probably helped.
2022: Cannes Film Festival. During an on-stage Q&A, a French journalist asks Cruise why he does his own stunts.
Cruise’s reply: ‘No one asks Gene Kelly, why do you dance? Why do you do your own dancing?’
Yep, he’s passionate about what he does, all right.
TG:M has taken over $1billion at the box office, making it the year’s biggest cinema hit – and Cruise’s own highest grossing film.
Don’t bet against him winning that long-awaited Best Actor Oscar next year.

New Mission: Impossible 8 set images from the U.K. show star Tom Cruise up to his stunt tricks once again in the anticipated spy thriller sequel.
Tom Cruise looks ready to put himself through the wringer once again as new Mission: Impossible 8 set photos show the action legend ready for another wild ride in the spy thriller film series.
Per TomCruiseNews on X, set images from Mission: Impossible 8 production in Derbyshire show Cruise filming an action sequence while riding in a rusty, dust-covered Jeep surrounded by crew members. Subsequent reports by the BBC confirmed the sequel was shot in Middleton Mine, with villagers in the area being informed that the site was being used for a car chase scene.
The Godfather Director Recalls Discovering Tom Cruise
Following production delays caused by last year's SAG-AFTRA strike , Mission: Impossible 8 recently restarted filming in the U.K., where Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning was also shot. Much of Dead Reckoning was filmed in Derbyshire and the Peak District, including the much-talked-about train crash into a nearby quarry during one of the movie's more dramatic scenes .
Tom Cruise Returns as Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible 8
Cruise reprises his role as IMF operative leader Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible 8 , which is expected to pick up from the events of Dead Reckoning , which saw Hunt battle the nefarious Gabriel (Esai Morales) and the AI-powered villain he worked for, the Entity. The upcoming sequel was initially titled Dead Reckoning Part Two and was set to be released this June by Paramount Pictures. However, the strike-related delays and a change in creative course led Mission: Impossible 8 to drop the Dead Reckoning title , as well as pushing back the release window . Additionally, Dead Reckoning Part One was simply renamed Dead Reckoning as it made its streaming debut on Paramount+.
Tom Cruise Lines Up Warner Bros. Return Film With Birdman Team
Despite being regarded as one of the best Mission: Impossible movies ever made by critics and audiences, Dead Reckoning lost money for Paramount despite earning $567.5 million worldwide at the box office. Dead Reckoning, which boasts a 96% critical rating on Rotten Tomatoes, earned two Academy Award nominations, a Golden Globe nod, a Screen Actors Guild Award victory and a Saturn Award win.
Mission: Impossible 8 will see Cruise feature alongside Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Pom Klementieff, Hannah Waddingham and Hayley Atwell. Director Christopher McQuarrie has admitted that he and Cruise have been trying to figure out a definitive ending to the upcoming follow-up. McQuarrie has also strongly hinted that Mission: Impossible 8 won't be the last film in the eponymous franchise.

Ethan Hunt is doing something dangerous for a change.
The Big Picture
- Tom Cruise filmed a stunt scene for Mission: Impossible 8 in Middleton Mine, Derbyshire, UK.
- The movie was initially titled Dead Reckoning: Part Two, but is now unnamed.
- Director McQuarrie split the story into two parts for more character development and emotion.
Tom Cruise has been spotted in the United Kingdom, filming scenes for next year's Mission: Impossible 8 . The set photos show Cruise driving a jeep while filming—to the shock of nobody—what appears to be a stunt scene at the Middleton Mine in Derbyshire earlier in the week. The BBC reports that villagers in the surrounding areas have been informed that a film is being shot there, and that it would be used for what was described as a car chase sequence. Tarmac, the company that owns the mine, has previously offered out the site to production companies but did not confirm or deny what the film was when questioned.
The film has been back in production for a while in the UK, after the previous installment— Dead Reckoning —shot a large portion of the film in and around the Peak District and Derbyshire area, including a stunning steam train crash into a nearby quarry. Stars Simon Pegg and Hayley Atwell have also both shared photos on their personal Instagram accounts of nearby landmarks.
Is The New 'Mission: Impossible' Film 'Dead Reckoning Part Two'?
Originally entitled Dead Reckoning: Part Two , the film will be renamed. While "Part Two" is no longer in the title, director Christopher McQuarrie fully believes that this is the second of a two-part story, as he told Collider's Steve Weintraub at the film's premiere back in July.
"I knew I wanted to expand the cast, and I knew I wanted to give each one of those characters more to do, so I knew the movie was going to be bigger and longer than Fallout [ the previous movie]. And at which point I said, 'Why are we fighting this? Why are we going to try to jam this into two hours? Let's just break it in half and make it two movies.' That really was the rationale behind it being a two-part movie. It just it wasn't just that the story was bigger but that we wanted more emotion in the movie. At that time, the studio were actually very genuinely excited about it. And, you know, I think we were excited about it too. And then there were times when we were on set, and Tom would look at me, and he'd say, 'This was your idea. Just remember that.'”
Mission: Impossible's eighth installment is scheduled for release in May 2025. Stay tuned to Collider for updates and check out the new set images above.

Tom Cruise ’s frequent collaborator and Mission: Impossible director Christopher McQuarrie wished the star a happy 60th birthday on Sunday by sharing a new behind-the-scenes photo that appears to be taken from the eighth M:I movie, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning – Part Two (check it out below).
While McQuarrie did not add any context about the image, it sees Cruise hanging off the wing of a mid-roll vintage red biplane — similar to the one we saw in a pre-recorded message Cruise sent from the South Africa set of the film during CinemaCon in April.
Happy 60th Birthday, Tom. pic.twitter.com/IfWUguhM7c — Christopher McQuarrie (@chrismcquarrie) July 3, 2022
Cruise, who is known for constantly pushing the limits in his self-performed stunts, is currently flying high with Top Gun: Maverick which has grossed over $1.1B globally. This past weekend, its sixth, the movie saw another incredible hold , down just 14% domestically and 16% at the international box office.
Maverick co-star Glen Powell also tweeted McQ’s photo, adding “TC, there is just no one like you. Keep hangin’ in there. Happy Birthday!”

Cruise spent his birthday on Sunday at the British Formula 1 Grand Prix, where he was supporting pal and seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton. “He’s a great friend of mine. I hope he has a great day,” Cruise told Sky Sports on the starting grid. (Hamilton ended up placing third while Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz claimed the first win of his career.)
From Paramount Pictures and Skydance Media, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning – Part One releases July 14 next year with Part Two due on June 28, 2024.

Tom cruise films action scene in set photos from new movie (is it mission: impossible 8).
New footage and set photos of Tom Cruise filming action scenes surface, raising speculation as to whether the actor is filming Mission: Impossible 8.
Major Mission Impossible 8 Story Detail Has Already Been Spoiled In An Unexpected Way
- Based on set photos, Tom Cruise is seen filming an action movie in Derbyshire.
- Speculation suggests Cruise may be filming Mission: Impossible 8, with costars also posting get-togethers and scenery images.
- Cruise will be especially busy in the coming months due to a recent deal with Warner Bros.
Tom Cruise is seen filming action scenes for an upcoming movie, which is speculated to be Mission: Impossible 8 . Cruise has been busy in the past couple of years with movies from multiple big franchises. This included last year’s Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning and the 2022 blockbuster sequel Top Gun: Maverick . Cruise's next project is the eighth Mission: Impossible installment, which seems to be already underway.
According to multiple news outlets, including BBC and ITV , Cruise has been spotted filming an action scene for an upcoming movie. The videos included footage of Cruise in Derbyshire, filming in what appears to be a beaten-up, dirt-covered Jeep. Aerial footage shows trailers and other evidence of a film set. There were vehicles spotted in the Middleton Mine as well.
While the images did not confirm what film Cruise is working on, two posts from former castmates suggest that Cruise may be filming Mission: Impossible 8 . This included the above post from Simon Pegg , who posted a selfie with costars Haley Atwell, Pom Klementieff, and Tarzan Davis and said, “ Saving the world has never been so much fun .” Pegg’s selfie post did not include any images of Cruise.
Atwell , who debuted as Grace in Dead Reckoning , also indicated that she might be filming a movie, offering a post from her “ day off .” As in the case of Pegg, Atwell did not explicitly indicate that she was involved in filming for Mission: Impossible 8 . The scenery in the video also seems to be the Peak District, where part of its landscape is located in Derbyshire.
Tom Cruise Needs To Complete Mission: Impossible 8 Despite The Warner Bros. Deal
However, Atwell and Pegg's posts give strong evidence that Cruise is filming Mission: Impossible 8 , especially since the movie has a 2025 deadline to accomplish.
Despite the underwhelming box office for Dead Reckoning last summer, it doesn't seem to have deterred the developments for the next Mission: Impossible movie. Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning ended with Cruise's Ethan Hunt getting hold of both keys after he and Gabriel (Esai Morales) battled each other to get hold of them. The eighth movie will focus on Ethan and his team looking for the lost Sevastopol as they attempt to stop the AI program Entity for good.
While Atwell, Pegg, Klementief, and Ving Rhames (Luther) are expected to return, Mission: Impossible 8 will be without one cast member, Rebecca Ferguson. This comes after her character, Ilsa, was killed by Gabriel during the events of Dead Reckoning , causing Ethan to lose a crucial team member. While there have been theories about a potential Ilsa return, such as a fake death, Ferguson has been doubtful of a future reprisal.
Mission: Impossible - Every Movie In Chronological Order
As speculation fuels, Cruise will be busy in the coming months due to a deal with Warner Bros. It was announced earlier this year that Warner Bros. and Cruise were pairing up to develop and produce films together, including original and franchise films. Therefore, it is uncertain if the movie Cruise is filming is Mission: Impossible 8 - which is distributed by Paramount Pictures - or a project under Warner Bros. However, Atwell and Pegg's posts give strong evidence that Cruise is filming Mission: Impossible 8 , especially since the movie has a 2025 deadline to accomplish.
The release date for Mission: Impossible 8 is currently slated for May 23, 2025.

Mission: Impossible 8
Mission: Impossible 8 is the direct sequel to Dead Reckoning - Part One and is the eighth film in the Mission: Impossible franchise. Said to be the final film, Tom Cruise, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, and more will reprise their roles in Ethan Hunt's IMF team as they face off against a dangerous foe from their past.

15 of Tom Cruise's Dreamiest Throwback Photos in Honor of His Birthday
From being an 'Outsider' to becoming 'Top Gun,' the 'Mission Impossible' star turns 61 on July 3, 2023
Tom Cruise turns 61 on July 3, 2023, and to celebrate, we're going to kick back with a Cocktail, turn on the latest Mission: Impossible and maybe engage in some Risky Business. Or, we could just look back on these 15 dreamy throwbacks of the Hollywood all-star!
All-American Guy
A popped collar and double denim? Tom Cruise circa 1980 was totally dreamy. Cruise wouldn't get his acting break until 1981 , when he appeared in the film Endless Love, but he was already a star!
Totally Preppy
A young Tom Cruise wearing a corduroy jacket with elbow patches makes us wish he could tutor us after school.
Greaser Dude
Cruise hit the big screen in 1982 as Steve Randle in The Outsiders.
The Outsiders
At the premiere of the film in 1982, Cruise, Rob Lowe and Emilio Estevez made a pretty great-looking trio.
Taking Risks
In 1983, Cruise starred in Risky Business and we will never look at a men's dress shirt and tighty-whities the same ever again.
Cool and Casual
At a screening for Risky Business , Cruise had us swooning with his long locks, T-shirt and jeans.
Long Hair, Don't Hair
Cruise let his luscious locks fly free at the premiere of The Breakfast Club in 1985.
Is there anything more attractive than Tom Cruise going incognito in a leather jacket and sunglasses in 1985?
An Officer and a Gentleman
Well, okay, his character in Top Gun was technically a lieutenant, but you get the picture.
Cruise had a head of hair that defied physics and a jaw that could cut glass at the 1986 Top Gun premiere afterparty.
Sorry, we forgot what we were saying, we got lost in Cruise's blue eyes!
Black Tie Affair
Cruise looks just as good dressed to the nines as he does dressed in jeans and a T-shirt.
How about a Cocktail ? Cruise starred in the film (and rocked this blue floral shirt) in 1988.
Winner, Winner
In 1990, Cruise won the People's Choice Award for his role in Born on the Fourth of July.
Standing Firm
Cruise starred in the 1993 legal thriller, The Firm , in which he played a Harvard-educated lawyer, a.k.a. the man of our dreams (despite his character's shady business dealings).

Third Actor Seems to Confirm He's Not the 'Idiot' Who Screamed at Rebecca Ferguson on Set
A story told by Dune ‘s Rebecca Ferguson is going viral, and it involves her work with a past co-star who she called an “absolute idiot.”
She went on Reign with Josh Smith podcast , where she shared about her work with this anonymous co-star, “I remember there was a moment and this human being was being so insecure and angry because this person couldn’t get the scenes out. And I think I was so vulnerable and uncomfortable that I got screamed at. But because this person was number one on a call sheet, there was no safety net for me. So no one had my back. And I would cry walking off set.”
The co-star in question shared what they would say to her, including things like: “You call yourself an actor?” and “This is what I have to work with?” She recalled, “I stood there just breaking.”
She took matters into her own hands the next day, sharing, “The next day I walked on and I said, ‘You get off my set.’ It was the first time I’d ever spoken [back to that person]. I was so scared. And I looked at this person and said ‘You can f-ck off.’”
“I said, ‘The person can turn around and I can act to the back [of their] head.’ And I did. I have no problem using my voice and I’m not scared of the consequences of saying what I think,” she continued.
Rebecca herself clarified two actors who were NOT the actor in question, and another actor has come forward and seems to be confirming it wasn’t him.

30 Celebs Whose Private Jets Created Most CO2 Emissions in the Last Year Revealed (& Taylor Swift Didn't Even Make the List)
Amid Taylor Swift ‘s legal battle against someone who is tracking her private plane’s every move, there has been a lot of discussion surrounding the celebs who use private jets the most.
Taylor seems to be the celebrity who gets blamed for CO2 emissions from flying on private planes, yet a new study reveals she’s not even in the Top 30 of celebs whose planes emit the most CO2.
MyClimate.org , an organization that allows everyday people to calculate their carbon footprint, has released a list of the celebs whose private jets allegedly emitted the most CO2 in 2003.
You might be surprised by some of the names on this list, but one thing to note is that the celebs themselves might not be responsible for all the flights. As Taylor ‘s rep explained when she topped the list in 2022 , her plane is often loaned out to other people, so she’s not the one taking all of those flights.
Browse through the slideshow to see whose planes topped the list…

Despite currently filming scenes for Mission Impossible 8, the previous installment is yet to be released.

Tom Cruise talks about filming Mission Impossible
Tom Cruise first starred as Ethan Hunt in the 1996 movie Mission Impossible.
The spy movie, which the actor produced, was a commercial and critical success and was the third highest-grossing film that year.
In a recent interview, he spoke about creating the movie in a clip via GamesRadar .
“I looked at Paramount, and I thought what I wanted to produce was something – I looked at it in many different ways… I wanted something that was going to be very commercial, potentially, but I wanted something that was going to be artistically challenging,” Cruise explains.
In an interview about the film, Tom Cruise explained the movie’s challenges in several countries.
“What is the challenge of this thing going to be? I wanted it to be an international film, and an international cast,” Cruise adds. “Which at that time was different. I wanted to shoot it in England… I remember they said, ‘Can’t you shoot it in LA, or New York?’ And I was like, ‘No, I actually, I want to go to London.'”
In addition, the busy actor is also promoting the upcoming movie Top Gun: Maverick, which is scheduled for release next year.
Tom Cruise made a rare public outing with his son Connor for a 'Mission Impossible' event in New York
- Tom Cruise and his son Connor made a rare public appearance together in New York on Saturday.
- The two were photographed on their way to an event for Cruise's new "Mission Impossible" film.
- Cruise shares two children with ex Nicole Kidman: 28-year-old Connor, and 30-year-old Isabella.
Tom Cruise made a rare public appearance with his son Connor in New York on Saturday, and Cruise's older sister also tagged along for the outing.
According to Entertainment Tonight's Jackie Willis , Cruise, Connor, and Cruise's sister Lee Mapother were photographed heading to an event at the AMC movie theater in Times Square on Saturday. The event was reportedly to promote Cruise's new film "Mission Impossible — Dead Reckoning."
Photos obtained by Entertainment Tonight show Cruise in a black collared shirt, dark-wash jeans, and sunglasses, while Connor was seen in a gray polo, jeans, and sneakers.
Cruise shares Connor, 28, with his ex-wife Nicole Kidman. The couple, who were married from 1990 to 2001 , also adopted 30-year-old Isabella.
Isabella and Connor have both kept a lower profile in recent years, but Connor and Cruise were spotted at a Los Angeles Dodgers game in 2013.
Like their father, both Connor and Isabella are Scientologists , at least according to a 2018 interview Kidman did with Australian magazine Who.
"They have made choices to be Scientologists, and, as a mother, it's my job to love them," Kidman said in the interview . "And I am an example of that tolerance and that's what I believe — that no matter what your child does, the child has love and the child has to know there is available love and I'm open here."

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.
Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise’s daughter, Suri Cruise, was seen going on a walk by herself in New York City on Monday.
Suri was photographed looking down at her phone while giving a soft smile as she confidently went on the solo stroll.
The 17-year-old held her phone with both of her hands but also managed to grip onto a bag of Trader Joe’s milk chocolate covered peanut butter pretzels.
Suri showed off her fashionista side in a white midi dress with pink flowers all over, criss-crossed black tights and a long denim jacket with a white fuzzy collar.
She accessorized her look with black sneakers and a black messenger bag that she slung around her shoulder and laid on her side.
The “Dawson’s Creek” alum’s mini-me daughter loosely pulled back her brown locks but let a few pieces of her curtain bangs free to frame her face.

Suri has been spotted walking out and about the Big Apple several times , but she’s rarely been photographed without her mom.
Most recently, Katie, 45, and Suri –– who have a remarkably similar resemblance –– stepped out together for a stroll through Soho last month.
Suri has grown up in the spotlight, but she’s also been finding her own path.
Page Six recently reported that the teenager starred in her high school play, “The Addams Family: A New Musical,” in December 2023.
“She was amazing,” one attendee told us at the time.

Suri reportedly didn’t mention either of her parent’s names in the bio for her role.
The high school senior has always appeared close with her mother, but she’s reportedly been estranged from her father , 61, since their divorce in 2012.
The “Top Gun” actor and the “Batman Begins” actress got married in 2006, but Holmes filed for divorce in 2012 and got custody of their daughter.
Cruise was most recently romantically linked to British socialite Elsina Khayrova , but a source told Page Six that he “cooled things down” a few weeks ago.
Meanwhile, Holmes appears to be single since splitting with Bobby Wooten III after eight months of dating in December 2022.

Hayley Atwell Breaks Silence On Tom Cruise Dating Rumors During ‘Mission: Impossible’ Interview
Hayley Atwell revealed that Tom Cruise gave her advice on how to navigate the rumors that the 'Mission: Impossible 7' co-stars are dating.
Hayley Atwell , 41, finally addressed the rumors that she’s dating Tom Cruise , 61. After the two actors were romantically linked when they were filming Mission: Impossible 7 in 2020, Hayley set the record straight about their relationship in a July 8 interview with The Independent . Hayley confirmed they aren’t dating and said that she looks at Tom as an “uncle”. “I would be like, ‘Ooh, there’s some weird rumors, and it feels base, it feels a little dirty, it feels grubby, it’s not what I’m about,'” she said in the interview. “Why are things being assumed or projected onto me about my relationship with my work colleague and boss?”
Hayley said that the rumors about her and Tom were “upsetting” to her because “it’s involving people in my actual life, my personal life, who have to be on the receiving end of that. It becomes invasive.” The Captain America: The First Avenger star also revealed that she got advice from Tom on how to handle the speculation about their connection . “When I’ve talked to him about it, he’d be like, ‘You know exactly who you are. You know what you’re about. And that is the only thing that matters. It doesn’t matter what people think of you, if you are in integrity with yourself, if you know what your value system is,’ ” she said.
Ahead of their movie’s July 12 theatrical release , Hayley praised Tom and pushed back against any of the criticism about the Oscar nominee. “I truly feel you could meet him and go, ‘He’s nice; he’s charming; he’s charismatic; he knows how to make people feel good about themselves. So that’s just a tactic for total manipulation, because he’s probably just an egocentric.’ Or whatever bulls*** people want to make up about people,” Hayley said. “But over time, you’re just watching him, going: he really works hard, he really cares, he’s really interested in people and wants to engage with them, and he believes in the power of cinema as much as he did when he was five years old.” Hayley also said that Tom made her feel “safe” on the set of Mission: Impossible 7 .
When Hayley and Tom were filming their action movie in 2020, it was rumored that they were dating , but they never confirmed the relationship themselves. In June 2022, news of their split was reported and Hayley started dating actor and music producer Ned Wolfgang Kelly . She got engaged to Ned in April 2023. Hayley and Tom had a friendly reunion at the Mission: Impossible 7 premiere in Dubai on June 26. The co-stars shared a hug and Tom leaned in to give Hayley a kiss on the cheek, proving they’ve stayed friendly amidst the rumors about their relationship.
Suri Cruise Makes Rare Appearance Amid Katie Holmes’ Reported Money Problems As Tom’s Child Support Ends
New photos show Suri is all grown up as she reportedly prepares to start college on her dad's dime later this year.
- Suri Cruise, soon to turn 18, looked all grown-up during her latest solo walk in NYC, dressed casually and unbothered by paparazzi.
- Suri is finishing high school and reportedly interested in studying fashion, with her mother potentially facing a loss of income post-child support.
- Reports claim Katie Holmes may write a memoir post-divorce due to an expiring NDA, refuting recent child support speculation.
Suri Cruise proved she’s all grown-up during her latest solo appearance . The famous teenager, who’s soon going to turn 18, was photographed during a solo walk in New York, where she’s been raised by her mom Katie Holmes since divorcing Tom Cruise in 2012.
The teen was dressed casually in a floral dress with dark tights and sneakers. Overtop, she layered a large denim jacket and an oversized shoulder bag. Suri didn’t seem bothered by the paparazzi, holding an open bag of pretzels and keeping herself distracted by her phone as she made her way through the streets.
What Are Tom Cruise And Nicole Kidman's Adopted Kids Doing Today?
Suri cruise looked all grown up in new photos.
Suri is finishing her final year of high school and is expected to start college later this year. Various reports claim the teen is anxious to stay in NYC, and while she’s shown an interest in acting (like nailing the starring role in her school’s play ), she’s apparently interested in studying fashion.
There’s been a lot of attention around Suri and her family, as Tom Cruise’s child support will supposedly come to an end as she turns 18. One report claimed Katie was anxious to secure new work as she’ll be experiencing a big loss of income when the child support ends. She was allegedly receiving around $40,000 per month from her ex.
“For years, Katie’s enjoyed a lavish lifestyle, thanks to Tom’s consistent support,” a source told In Touch . “But as their child nears adulthood, both mother and daughter are facing an uncertain future. It’s a terrifying prospect — going from an amazing standard of living to a question mark overnight!”
Katie’s Lawyer Responded To The Child Support Speculation
Katie supposedly signed an NDA following her divorce from Tom, which rumors have suggested was fueled by his controversial Scientology believes. Now that the NDA is reportedly expiring, the source claims Katie is interested in writing a memoir to share her side of the story.
“She’s actively looking for roles and is eager to throw herself back into the industry full-time,” the insider claimed. “And don’t forget the non-disclosure agreement she signed — it’s set to expire, too. If things get tough, Katie could cash in by penning a tell-all book!”
How Old Is Tom Cruise During His Most Dangerous Stunts?
Interestingly, the report and subsequent speculation was enough to make Katie respond, even though she’s known for keeping silent on her personal life. The Dawson’s Creek actress simply released a statement via her lawyer denying the recent reports.
"The story is riddled with falsehoods. One would hope there would be more newsworthy items to cover, and publications would avoid reporting as 'facts' claims from anonymous sources peddling such obvious misrepresentations,” her attorney Jonathan W. Wolfe told the media.
Tom – who’s notoriously private about his personal life – hasn’t addressed Suri in interviews in years. However, it’s been reported that the Mission: Impossible actor still plans to financially support Suri when she attends college, though he’ll apparently have no say in where or what she studies.
