Tom Cruise flies in helicopter with son Connor after missing daughter Suri's graduation

It is not a “mission impossible” for him to see at least one of his children.

Tom Cruise was seen stepping off a helicopter alongside his son, Connor Cruise, in central London on Friday – a week after missing the graduation of his youngest child, Suri Cruise.

Paparazzi photographed the 61-year-old action star wearing a short-sleeved gray shirt that showed off his muscular arms and a pair of jeans as he grinned from ear to ear as he left the helipad.

Connor, 29, was dressed comfortably in a black hoodie, gray pants, sneakers, a matching cap and a pair of sunglasses. His facial expression, unlike his father's, was serious and calm.

According to eyewitnesses, the father-son duo was joined by a few other unnamed guests during the flight outing.

Tom's appearance with Connor comes as he faces backlash for missing an important celebration in Suri's life.

A day after missing LaGuardia High School graduation, the “Mission Impossible” star opted to party with Swifties and celebrities at Taylor Swift's Eras tour in London last Saturday.

Tom was spotted laughing and chatting with the pop superstar's boyfriend Travis Kelce in the VIP tent and exchanging friendship bracelets across the Atlantic.

Meanwhile, Suri celebrated her graduation ceremony with her mother Katie Holmes and her fellow students.

It's no surprise that Tom couldn't attend his daughter's big day, as they have been separated for years.

In March 2023, a source exclusively confirmed to Page Six that the “Top Gun” star had “no part” in the teen's life, something he previously admitted in a court deposition was due to his ties to Scientology.

When Holmes, 45, split from Tom in 2011, she and Suri no longer had any role in the controversial church, which reportedly does not allow its members to associate with non-believers.

However, because Connor — who is Tom's adopted son with ex-wife Nicole Kidman — is still a Scientologist, he can still spend quality time with his famous father.

In November 2018, Kidman, 57, spoke out about Connor and his sister Bella Cruise's decision to remain members of the Church of Scientology.

“They are adults. They are capable of making their own decisions,” the “Moulin Rouge” star told Australian magazine Who.

“They chose to become Scientologists and, as their mother, it is my duty to love them. I am an example of tolerance and that is what I believe in: whatever your child does, there is love for them and they need to know that there is love available and that I am open to that love. . »

Kidman, who is now married to Keith Urban, divorced Tom in 2001.
