Actress Dakota Fanning revealed that Tom Cruise has consistently sent her birthday gifts, starting from when she was 11 on the set of their 2005 film 'War of the Worlds.' For the past 19 years, Cruise has gifted her shoes every year.
Fanning reminisced about her 11th birthday on 'War of the Worlds' during her appearance on Kelly Clarkson’s daytime talk show. "I turned 11 on ‘War of the Worlds,’ when we worked together and he gave me my first cell phone for that birthday,” she shared.
“It was a Motorola Razr…I didn’t have anyone to call, but I wanted a Razr so bad. I must have been talking about it a lot because that’s what he got me. It’s such a great memory.”
She continued, “He always sends me the same thing every year,” reports variety.com.
Fanning explained why this tradition began.
“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 really excited about them. So from that birthday on, he always sends me shoes.”
Clarkson responded with enthusiasm: “That’s so random too, I love it. You must have a massive shoe collection brought to you by Tom Cruise!”
In 'War Of The Worlds,' directed by Steven Spielberg, Cruise and Fanning portrayed a father and daughter. As a child star, Fanning also appeared in popular films such as 'I Am Sam,' 'Uptown Girls,' and 'Man on Fire.'
