Connor Cruise Gets His First Movie Role

It pays to be Tom Cruise’s son! Connor Cruise is going to be making his film debut in an upcoming movie. He will not be joining his dad on the big screen but he will be joining his daddy’s bff, Will Smith.

Connor will be playing a young version of Smith in Seven Pounds.

Life is not all dandy for Connor though, he had to actually audition for the part. "Tom is so proud of Connor," a source told People. "He's proud of him for really doing this on his own."

Ya he might be doing it on his own, but it does pay to have Tom Cruise as your dad and Nicole Kidman as your mom.
