The actress went on to share a heartwarming detail: Tom Cruise has continued the tradition of gifting her something special every year since that memorable birthday. "Tom sends me a birthday gift every year, and has since that birthday," she disclosed. And just recently, on her 30th birthday in April, she received yet another thoughtful present from the "Mission: Impossible" star.

This isn't the first time Fanning has received a memorable gift from a co-star. In a separate interview with Elle magazine's Ask Me Anything series, she revealed that Kurt Russell, her co-star in "Dreamer," once surprised her with a horse—a gesture that surely left a lasting impression.
