Tom Cruise’s estranged relationship with his kids has returned to haunt him. The Top Gun star is a father to three children from his previous marriages to Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes. However, Cruise rarely gets involved with his kids. His absence has sparked rumors of strained bonds between him and his children.
In a recent red-carpet interview for the premiere of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning with E! News, Cruise was questioned about Father’s Day, but his awkward answer added to the rumors. The reporter asked, “Father’s Day is just around the corner, what would an ideal Father’s Day look like for you?”
The question appeared to have caught the Mission Impossible actor off guard as he shook his head and stared blankly. “Just having fun, man,” Cruise finally replied. The 62-year-old quickly digressed from the question and highlighted his other plans without mentioning his kids.
He said, “Making movies, big adventures, and having a great time.” The actor’s avoidance of the question has left fans wagging their tongues about his involvement with fatherhood.
One fan wrote, “Man avoiding father role.” A second person replied, “Not interested in answering the father’s question. His biggest failure.”
Tom Cruise Takes A Second Chance At Fatherhood With A Godfather Role
Another observer pointed out that the actor lost sight of the most important thing. “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.”
The observer continued, “What about being a parent, Tom? There was a time when that was important to you. Sad for this man.”
While the Jack Reacher star’s relationship with his kids appears rocky, he is allegedly giving fatherhood a second chance. An informant previously disclosed that Cruise has taken the role of a godfather to his co-star, Hayley Atwell’s daughter.
As we reported, the source confessed that the actor spends time with the little girl as she reminds him of his little girl. “Tom was tickled pink — no pun intended ‚— to spend time with Haley’s little girl. She’s the spitting image of (Cruise’s daughter) Suri when she was the same age,” revealed the informant.
According to the source, the actor is happy with his new role and takes it seriously. “He is the most doting godfather that a child could wish for,” the insider gushed.
For now, fans hope that the actor also becomes a doting dad to his children, but the reality seems bleak.
