I turned 11 on War of the Worlds when we worked together and he gave me my
first cell phone for that birthday. Dakota Fanning is revealing the
birthday gift that Tom Cruise sends her every year. Dakota shares that her
former co star Tom Cruise sends her a surprising present for her birthday
every year. Something he's done for the 30 year old since she turned 12. Dakota
says this about the tradition that started when he played her dad in 2000
and Five's War of the Worlds on the June 5th episode of the Kelly Clarkson
Show, I found this amazing. So every on your birthday, Tom Cruise actually
still sends you like a present on your birthday. Happy birthday. That's so
nice because you worked together so long ago I turned 11 on War of the
Worlds when we worked together and he gave me my first cell phone for that
birthday. It was a calling at 11. I didn't have anyone to call but I just,
I wanted a razor so bad and I must have been talking about it a lot.
That's what he got me. It was such a great memory, but Tom's presence didn't
stop there as the 61 year old has continued sending her birthday gifts
every year. So, wait, so what did he send you this year? He always sends me
the same thing every year after the cell phone. I was like, loved shoes
when I was little and like I started to be able to fit into like really small
adult shoes when I was on the War of the Worlds Press tour. So I was very
excited about them. And so from that birthday on, he always sends me shoes.
Oh, I love that. So that's so random too. I love it. I have a massive shoe
collection brought to you by Tom Cruise. But shoes aren't the only present
mission impossible star gives. He's also been known to gift friends coconut
cakes during the holidays. In fact, the sweet treat has been dubbed the Tom
Cruise Cake by many celebs with his Jack Reacher. Never go back. Co star
Kobe Smulders joking that the most glorious time of the year is when the
dessert arrives at her home. Kobe says this about the cake during a 2019
episode of the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. It is time for, you know
what I'm talking about, Tom Cruise cake. Tom Cruise cake. The glorious, glorious
time of year. Are you, do you also receive the Tom Cruise cake? I totally

during the holidays. And is it coconut white chocolate, coconut cake? It's
unbelievable. I receive it and hopefully, maybe if I talk about it on
television, I wonder receive it. But it's so good. I leave it in my freezer
and it lasts until like March. Like I just slowly chip away at this thing.
