Tom Cruise has a history of generosity towards his colleagues and friends in Hollywood. Dakota Fanning, who worked with him on the 2005 film “War of the Worlds,” shared on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” that Cruise had been giving her gifts every year since then. When Fanning turned 11, Cruise surprised her with her first phone – a Motorola Razr, which was exactly what she wanted.
Fanning was thrilled to receive the gift from Cruise, despite not having anyone to call on her first phone. However, the two have remained close over the years, and Cruise has continued to surprise Fanning with thoughtful gifts every year. One such gift was a pair of shoes for her birthday each year. Fanning credits Cruise for sparking her love for shoes, as she was able to start wearing small adult sizes during the press tour for “War of the Worlds.”
Cruise is known for his generosity in Hollywood and often goes above and beyond when it comes to gifting his friends and colleagues. Actor Jay Ellis shared that Cruise surprised him and his wife with a special his-and-hers gift that was hand-delivered the day before their wedding. Recipients of Cruise’s famous coconut cakes range from Tom Hanks to Kirsten Dunst. Overall, Tom Cruise’s generosity in Hollywood is well-known and appreciated by many.
