Watch: Dakota Fanning Reveals She Has a Massive Shoe Collection Thanks to Tom
Cruise


Tom Cruise takes the mission of giving a birthday gift very seriously.

In fact, the Top Gun star has made sure that former costar Dakota Fanning gets
an extra special present from him every year, a tradition that started when he
played her dad in 2005's War of the Worlds.

"I turned 11 on War of the Worlds when we worked together," she explained on The
Kelly Clarkson Show June 5, "and he gave me my first cellphone for that
birthday. It was a Motorola Razr."

The 30-year-old joked that while she "didn't have anyone to call" at the time,
she had wanted a Razr "so bad."

"I must have been talking about it a lot," she laughed, "because that's what he
got me. It was such a great memory."

But Tom's presents didn't stop there, as the 61-year-old has continued sending
her birthday gifts.

"He always sends me the same thing every year, after the cellphone," she said.
"I loved shoes when I was little and I started to be able to fit into really
small adult shoes when I was on the War of the Worlds press tour, so I was very
excited about them. And so, from that birthday on, he always sends me shoes."

And host Kelly Clarkson was delighted by Tom's generosity, saying that it's "so
nice" of the actor to continue the tradition after all the years.

"I love it," Kelly told Dakota. "You must have a massive shoe collection brought
to you by Tom Cruise."

But shoes aren't the only present the Mission: Impossible star
gives: He's also been known to gift friends coconut bundt cakes during the
holidays. In fact, the sweet treat has been dubbed the "Tom Cruise Cake" by many
celebs, with his Jack Reacher: Never Go Back costar Cobie Smulders joking that
the "most glorious time of year" is when the dessert arrives at her home.

"I leave it in my freezer and it lasts until, like, March," she quipped during a
2019 episode of The Tonight Show. "I just slowly chip away at this thing. It's
so good. I don't know why. I'm not even a big sweets person, but it's so good."

The two actors, who costarred in the 2014 film Men, Women & Children, reunited

Russell Crowe & RZA

The actor has worked with the Wu-Tang Clan rapper on several movies, including
The Man with the Iron Fists, American Gangster and The Next Three Days. But
their bond goes much deeper than that. "As friends, we talk," Crowe tells Fuse.
"It is no effort for me to give a friend advice. Film has many gods and you have
to understand, as a director, you will be required to please and appease them
all."

Michelle Dockery & Pippa Middleton

Before running into each other again at Wimbledon, the unlikely duo first
crossed paths at the Downton Abbey set. "She actually came on-set with her
brother, James, a few years ago," Dockery told E! News."They are good fans of
the show."

Anna scored a name-drop in one of Nicki's raps. Weirdness: 7/10

50 Cent & Bette Midler

Now this is one strange duet! Fiddy met Bette working for the charity New York

Brad Pitt & Jonah Hill

You might not expect the hunky thespian to be close with the dude from Superbad,
but look at it this way: Pitt is a total prankster (says Jonah) and Jonah is now
a serious Oscar nominee (for their film Moneyball). Weirdness: 6/10

Eminem & Elton John

The controversial rapper joined forces with Sir Elton at the 2001 Grammys and
later Em turned to his new friend for support getting sober: "I told him, 'Look,
I'm going through a problem and I need your advice.'" Weirdness: 7/10
