Tom Cruise spends a huge amount of m.oney to 'win over' Suri

'Mission Impossible' actor Tom Cruise is said to hope to mend his relationship with his daughter Suri by paying her college tuition.

"Tom is not just paying for Suri's school fees to fulfill his duties as an absent father. It's part of a long-term plan in which he hopes to win back his daughter's affections, so they can connect as adults and talk openly about everything, including family and religion," a source told Heatworld.

Suri Cruise just entered Carnegie Mellon University, a prestigious private university in Pennsylvania, at the end of August. A friend of Tom Cruise said that the actor is paying all of his 18-year-old daughter's tuition. According to Dailymail, Suri's annual tuition at Carnegie Mellon University is $65,000 (1.6 billion VND).

Tom Cruise has reportedly been absent from Suri's life for years, with the relationship so distant that Suri dropped her father's last name when she turned 18 in April. Many believe that Tom Cruise's religion is a factor in this. When actress Katie Holmes filed for d.ivorce in 2012, it was rumored that she broke up because she feared her daughter would be led into Scientology and shunned by non-religious relatives. When the d.ivorce was finalized, Katie was granted full custody of the children, with Tom Cruise having visitation rights and c.hild support.

"Katie has always been fiercely protective of Suri and doesn't want Scientology to interfere with her life," the source said. "Katie is now confident in raising her daughter to be an adult, letting her think and see things for herself. Katie believes that now, and especially after graduating from college, Suri understands herself and can stand up for herself. So she doesn't necessarily object to Tom Cruise connecting with her daughter. In fact, Suri has never been able to escape her connection with her father because Tom is one of the biggest movie stars on the planet."

The source also said that because Tom Cruise has been absent for most of Suri's life, he will need to make a lot of effort to mend the relationship. "Tom believes it all depends on the right time. He is very patient and feels he can wait a few more years if it helps him get back together with his daughter."

Suri is Tom Cruise's only biological c.hild. She was 6 years old when her parents divorced. The Mission Impossible actor was last photographed visiting his daughter in 2013.

Tom Cruise remains close to his two adopted children, Connor Cruise, 29, and Isabella Cruise, 31. Both were adopted by Australian actor and actress Nicole Kidman during their 10-year marriage. When they divorced in 2001, Tom was given custody of the children. Connor and Isabella follow their father's religion of Scientology and have a distant relationship with their adoptive mother, Nicole Kidman.

Recently, the representative of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Organizing Committee said that actor Tom Cruise did not receive m.oney for his dangerous performance at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

In the CNBC x Boardroom: Game Plan program on September 10, President of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games Organizing Committee - Casey Wasserman - said that in addition to receiving no remuneration, Tom Cruise offered to perform his own stunts. Those were the scenes where he jumped from the roof of the Statue de France stadium in Paris, 46m high, and the scene where he parachuted down to the Hollywood Hills.

Initially, the crew planned to have the actor shoot only the Olympic flag-raising scene in the Hollywood Hills, hiring a stuntman to double him for the rest of the scenes. "But when everyone presented the idea in a Zoom meeting, Cruise said, 'I'm in on the condition that I do all the scenes myself,' " Wasserman said.

According to Casey Wasserman, when Tom Cruise made the offer, the show's producer - Ben Winston - still didn't believe it was possible because the actor was so busy. However, the actor arranged his time to participate.
