People reported that Connor Cruise will be following in his parents’ footsteps. The 13-year-old grew up on movie sets, and will have a small part in the upcoming Will Smith film, Seven Pounds. Woody Harrelson and Rosario Dawson will also be part of the cast. Connor will be playing a younger version of Will Smith.
Apparently his father, Tom Cruise, did not use his status for his son to land the part. Connor had to audition for the role. A source stated, "Tom is so proud of Connor. He’s proud of him for really doing this on his own."
