Behind the scenes, Tom Cruise is described as a man with few, if any, real friends. Sources close to him suggest that his intense focus on his career leaves little room for meaningful relationships.
An insider shared with In Touch that Cruise is almost entirely consumed by his work, constantly engaged in new projects even when he’s supposed to be taking time off. This relentless work ethic has isolated him, as few can match his energy or dedication.
Cruise’s life
The insider also noted that Cruise’s life is largely solitary, with his closest companions being powerful industry figures rather than personal friends. His world revolves around his next big stunt or movie idea, leaving little time for anything else.
“Let’s be real here, Tom lives for the business of being a global movie star, and it’s not exactly ‘work’ for him because he goes at it like a 24/7 lifestyle choice,” the insider said.
“He literally has no friends who can keep pace with him, and that’s all been exacerbated this summer as he finally puts Mission: Impossible 8 to bed and can move onto other projects.
“He only socializes with the moguls and other A-listers to further his movie ambitions, and it’s pretty clear when you spend any stretch of time with him that he’s a lonely guy and would rather be off shooting a mega stunt than pretending he likes his downtime.
“He never even takes vacations without pasting on some work function, like a location scout or just a box full of scripts to read and movies to watch. You want to tell the guy, ‘Get a life!’ but with a person as strong-willed as Tom, that would never work.
“He is committed to his lifestyle, and it’s unlikely he’ll change his ways until he’s very old. He thrives on the grind of working as long as he’s in control.”
Meanwhile, Suri Cruise is estranged from her father and they reportedly have no relationship. According to an insider, the famous actor has not seen his daughter since 2012.
“Katie [Holmes] has safeguarded Suri and she’s a devoted mum,” the source said.
“This is a girl who is a private citizen. She hasn’t lived her life in public.”
