“Xyxyz oboboa aoavvba! Haha!”
Don’t get mad at Tropic Thunder! The trades are reporting that Connor Cruise, the 13-year-old son of Tom Cruise, will make his feature debut portraying a young Will Smith in Smith’s emotional drama, Seven Pounds, due this December. It’s said that Connor Cruise will appear mostly in photographs and will not have a speaking part.
Seven Pounds is from Gabriele Muccino, who directed Smith in the rather melancholy and surprisingly sap-less hit drama The Pursuit of Happyness. In that film, Smith’s real life kid, Jaden Smith, played his son (believably). Joining Smith and the young Cruise in the “emotional story of a man who will change the lives of seven strangers” are Rosario Dawson, Woody Harrelson and Barry Pepper. Oh yeah, and Connor Cruise is black.

His son is adopted…so I don’t know why this is a big deal…it’s not a Tropic Thunder case here.

Adopted…Oh that’s right. I was confused the entire post. Also, he’s adopted because Tom is gay right?

Two questions: 1. Why couldn’t Jaden play the part? 2. There are probably so many other great young actors out there waiting to be discovered, so why the hell do these two butt-buddies have to knock up the nepotism tree? (Oh, and I’m sorry I had to classify Will Smith as a butt-buddy. He’s not freaky-weird like Tom Cruise but the picture of the two of them kinda set me up.)

I was completely confused the whole post. I totally thought Connor Cruise was playing a black guy in the new movie like Robert Downey Jr. is in Tropic Thunder.
This post was ridiculous.

No one needs this, Smith, Cruise…..enough of them, make it stop.

I never knew there were so many HATERS out there for Tom and especially for Will.
