Cruise skips news conference to shop for baby clothes
Tom Cruise skipped a Mission: Impossible III news conference today in Paris to hit the boutiques in search of outfits for his new baby, organisers said.
Cruise was expected to show up later at the Paris red carpet event for the film. His fiancee, Katie Holmes, and week-old Suri stayed home while Cruise went to Europe to promote his role as superagent Ethan Hunt.
At the news conference, Mission: Impossible III director J.J. Abrams playfully asked actress Michelle Monaghan what it was like to kiss Cruise with Holmes on the set.
“Was it weird?” he asked.
No way, she said.
“Just in general to kiss Tom Cruise is, you know ... an experience of a lifetime,” she joked. “I highly recommend it ... I said to Katie, I understand why you keep him around.”
The new baby girl, Suri, is the first child for Cruise and Holmes. Cruise has an adopted son and daughter from his marriage to ex-wife Nicole idman.
