Tom Cruise: Suri Was Sensational on Set

NY Team/Most Wanted

While many actors tend to dissuade their children from following in their footsteps, Tom Cruise — who calls acting "a great life" — reveals at the premiere of his new movie Valkyrie that he would "love it" if his three children were to join him in the industry. With his son Connor Antony, 13, making his film debut in Seven Pounds on Friday, Tom shares that Suri is showing a lot of potential as well! A pro when it comes to life on location, Suri "quickly…adapted to set," learning to "be quiet" while her father was filming and would "watch the monitor and talk," boasts the 46-year-old actor. However, despite her natural ease around the set, Suri initially had trouble adjusting to Tom’s eye patch.

"Suri would come up and take it off. Suri would be in the make-up trailer and she’d pull my patch off. So the girls in the make-up trailer got a little teddy bear with a patch on it and they gave it to her to play with, so she got used to the patch on the teddy bear."

Despite the couple’s hectic schedule with Tom on his press tour and his wife Katie Holmes starring in Broadway’s All My Sons, he can’t help but "just love every moment." Calling himself "very lucky" to have Katie and his three kids — including daughter Isabella ‘Bella’ Jane, 16 this month — with him, Tom’s heart grows even more when he hears 2 ½-year-old Suri say his favorite words. Despite an "incredible" vocabulary, the couple melt at one specific phrase.

"The ones that we love are, ‘I love you.’ I love hearing, ‘I love you, dada. I love you, mama.’"

Raising three kids, Tom couldn’t be happier with what he has managed to give them, saying "they have the life I wanted." Having "always wanted to travel the world," for cultural enrichment, Tom — whose policy for his brood is "if you’re going to do it, really do it" — is proud to provide his children with the necessary tools for them to make their own, educated decisions. "That’s how I raised my kids — that they have full exposure to the world and all different kinds of ideas and philosophies so that they can make choices for themselves," says Tom, who "supports them in whatever choices they want to make."

Valkyrie is in theaters December 25th. Bella and Connor are Tom’s children with ex-wife Nicole Kidman.

Pete Wentz Says Public Will See Bronx 'When It Makes Sense'

Those who anxiously waited for Pete and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz to confirm their pregnancy, endured nine months watching Ashlee’s belly grow, looked forward to hearing the baby’s name following the birth, and are now counting the days until baby Bronx Mowgli makes an appearance, will have to wait a bit longer! Taking to his blog to discuss their choice to forego a photo shoot, Pete — who reveals that they have been offered "mounds and mounds of money by mags from here to Guam" — shares that the new family is not yet ready to show Bronx to the world.

While both Pete and Ashlee respect the decision of other celebrity couples to introduce their newborns with a magazine spread, they have instead decided to make a conscious effort to shield their baby boy from the spotlight, at least initially. They realize the paparazzi is out there, waiting to snap Bronx’s first photo, explains the Fall Out Boy bassist.

"There is a danger when there are cameras being held over walls and into our backyard. We are followed day and night and that was fine when it was us, but we are going to do our best to shelter Bronx from that as much as possible. It’s scary to be followed by 10 cars to your home."

Admitting that he "understand[s] the curiosity," but is unable to fathom "the viciousness that comes along with it," Pete reveals that the decision to not introduce Bronx is only temporary, as the proud parents can’t wait to show him off. In the future, "when it makes sense," the trio will venture out together as a family and "Bronx will be out in the world." Until then, however, Pete can’t help but provide his fans with a tease as to who his son takes after!

"Trust me, he’s cute. He looks like his mommy."
