Tom Cruise was recently spotted at a heliport in London with his only son, Connor, last Friday, and their rare public appearance together has sparked quite a conversation. The 29-year-old Connor, who works as a DJ, opted for a casual look, donning a black hoodie, gray pants, and a baseball hat, paired with sneakers. Tom, on the other hand, sported denim jeans, an off-white tee, and thin-rimmed sunglasses. Later, Connor was seen enjoying the BST Kings of Leon concert in Hyde Park, London, with a female friend in the VIP section, grooving to the music.
Fans quickly took to social media to discuss Connor’s appearance, particularly noting his sudden weight gain. Many fans compared his look to that of his father, Tom, who they remarked appears younger due to his rigorous lifestyle. “Wow, Connor has grown!” one fan exclaimed. Unlike Connor, Tom’s demanding career as an actor and his penchant for performing his own stunts keep him in top physical shape, preventing any significant weight gain.
While Connor may not share his father’s chiseled physique, he is carving out his own path in Hollywood. He has acting credits in films like “Seven Pounds” and “Red Dawn.” Additionally, Connor has ventured into the culinary world with his business, Connor’s Meat Shack, which offers a variety of meats including Wagyu, brisket, burgers, chicken, and ribs, as highlighted on the brand’s Instagram bio.
The father-son outing also drew attention to Tom’s relationship with his other child, Suri, whom he shares with ex-wife Katie Holmes. The couple’s messy split in 2012 led to Tom’s estrangement from Suri, who recently dropped his last name in favor of her mother’s middle name. This has led to criticism from fans, with some accusing Tom of neglecting his daughter. “Finally, Tom Cruise is being shown to be the deadbeat he is!” one Instagram user commented, expressing their disdain for the actor.
Others speculated that Tom’s involvement with the controversial Church of Scientology might be a factor in his estrangement from Suri. “It’s incomprehensible that he let a cult separate him from his child…what is he thinking?” one enraged commenter asked. Another echoed the sentiment, saying, “Cult over daughter… I only hope one day he has huge regrets.”
Despite the criticism, Tom’s rare bonding moment with Connor has also been seen in a positive light by some fans, who appreciate seeing the actor spend time with his son. However, the conversation around his relationship with Suri continues to be a point of contention among his followers.
