The star of “Top Gun” made a statement about Father’s Day that unsettled fans. Speaking to the E! network, Tom Cruise dodged the topic, causing negative reactions on social media.
On Monday (19), during the premiere of “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” in New York, Tom Cruise said he was “having fun” instead of commenting on his plans for Father’s Day.
While talking about the movie, the final question seemed to catch him off guard. Still, he answered hesitantly: “Hey, you know, just having fun, man. Making movies, big adventures, having a lot of fun.”

Although many found the answer nonsensical because the actor was focused on the premiere, some fans commented on social media that it seemed like he didn’t have children.
“That moment on the red carpet when they ask Tom Cruise about Father’s Day is kind of disturbing. The guy totally blanks out and starts saying canned phrases,” one observed.
“Mr. Eye Contact completely starts giving automatic answers while looking around. It’s funny and sad,” joked another.
Tom Cruise is the father of Bella and Connor, both adopted during his marriage to Nicole Kidman. His youngest daughter, Suri, is from his relationship with Katie Holmes.
The star of “Mission: Impossible” has never publicly shared what his relationship with his children is like, which leaves room for fan speculation.
