Tom Cruise was caught off guard when he was asked a Father’s Day question during Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning premiere in New York
Tom Cruise was caught off guard during an awkward moment at his Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning premiere in New York earlier this week.
The 62-year-old has been touring the globe promoting the eighth and final movie in the series, and although he must have been asked millions of questions, one in particular had him tongue tied.
“Father’s Day is just around the corner,” an E! News reporter told the star. She then followed up by asking: “What would an ideal Father’s Day look like for you?”
Visibly taken aback, the Hollywood star looked to the side as he said: “You know…” After a pause, he then continued: “Just having fun, man. Making movies, big adventure, having a great time,” before the interview came to a close.
Tom is father to three children. Bella, 32, Connor, 30, and Suri,19. He shares his first two children with wife Nicole Kidman. The pair decided to adopt after going through fertility challenges.
The star later married Katie Holmes, and the couple welcomed their daughter Suri in 2006. However, he has been long estranged from his youngest daughter, since his divorce from Katie in 2012, despite reportedly being close to his oldest two children with Nicole.
Last year, Tom’s teen daughter debuted her name change as he was listed as Suri Noelle during her high school graduation. Noelle is her mother, Katie Holme’s middle name.
Fans took to the comments of the video after witnessing the awkward moment, as one penned: “A simple question about Father’s Day and he can’t answer it.
“He has gotten to a point where all he can talk about is movies and his love of movies. What about being a parent, Tom? There was a time when that was important to you. Sad for this man.”
However, others were left unimpressed with the interviewer, with one commenting: “naughty final question….I’d never give her another interview.”
It’s been an eventful few days for the superstar as he finally broke his silence about his new girlfriend Ana de Armas who he started dating earlier this year. Sharing his thoughts on the actress to Extra, he said: “Very, very talented, great dramatic actress, comedic, tremendous ability, learns quickly.”
It came after his partner opened up about her excitement as she prepares to work with Tom on John Wick spinoff, Ballerina. Speaking to Good Morning America, the 36-year-old said: “It’s so much fun. We’re definitely working on a lot of things. It’s not just one, but a few projects, ” she added. “With [directors] Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie and, of course, Tom. And I’m so excited.”
