It was way back in 2013 when Tom Cruise was last seen with his daughter Suri Cruise. Read on to know why!
The Mission Impossible star was seen with his and Katie Holmes’ daughter for the last time in 2013. And, if reports are to be believed, even that too could have been a photo-op.
The actor’s daughter is now 14-year-old and lives with her mom in New York City. Multiple sources have pointed out that the Church of Scientology has allegedly forbidden the Hollywood A-lister from meeting her.
Samantha Domingo, a former member of the church reportedly told that it is likely for the actor to have done a photo-op so that the world feels he was still in touch with his daughter to escape public criticism. However, the church has denied these allegations.
It was also reported that the Top Gun star filed a case against one of the outlets for publishing a story that he had deserted Suri. However, he did accept that one of the reasons why Holmes, Suri’s mom had filed for divorce was his association with Scientology.
The actor had, though, explained he did not feel his daughter required any kind of protection from his religion. Cruise also acknowledged that his daughter Suri Cruise is not a practicing member of the church.
It was regarded as a big confession as anyone who abandons the controversial faith is regarded as a “Suppressive Person.” They are then stopped from communicating with all members of Scientology including their immediate family members.
However, when the 57-year-old actor was asked whether his daughter and his former wife are regarded as “Suppressive Persons” by the Church or not, he refused to elaborate on it.
A tabloid insisted in 2016 that Tom Cruise lost touch with his daughter Suri Cruise when the latter was just 7-year-old. An unnamed source observed in case the actor wished to meet his daughter, he could do so. After all, even convicted people have the privilege to meet their kids.
Another source claimed in 2017 that Cruise did not meet his daughter even on Father’s Day though he was not far off from her. The tipster felt the actor could have easily arranged for a trip and meet her as the distance was pretty short, Hindustan Times reports.
Meanwhile, the theatrical releases of the films Mission Impossible 7, as well as, Mission Impossible 8 have been postponed by Paramount. This also means that Cruise’s eighth installment of the film will only get released in 2022.
Additionally, the seventh film of this franchise will now hit the movie halls on Nov. 19, 2021, instead of July 23, 2021. By the time the eighth film will release, Tom Cruise will be 60-year-old, according to another report by Hindustan Times.
