Suri Cruise steps into the spotlight. In a July 26 interview with Yahoo! Entertainment, Katie Holmes revealed that her daughter Suri, who she shares with Tom Cruise, is singing in the actor’s new film, “Alone Together.”
“I always want the highest level of talent, so I asked her,” Holmes said, sharing that Suri sings a cover of “Blue Moon” that appears in the opening credits of “Alone Together,” a movie about two strangers who are forced to live. together in the first weeks of the Covid-19 lockdowns. Holmes wrote, directed and stars in the film. Originally written by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart in 1934, “Blue Moon” was famously covered by Diane Keaton in the 2014 film “And So It Goes,” and Holmes added that Suri has a connection to the song because Keaton ” met my daughter” when she was a year old.” It also doesn’t hurt that Holmes has been a longtime fan of the “Baby Boom” actor.
She also revealed that 16-year-old Suri sang in her movie “Rare Objects,” which came out last fall, and praised her daughter’s vocal prowess. “She’s very, very talented,” Holmes said. “She said she wanted to do it and she shot it and I let her do her thing. That’s the way I direct in general: It’s like, ‘This is what I think we all want — go do your thing.’” Still, she emphasized that Suri still lives a normal life despite her Hollywood credentials, adding that “other than that, she’s a 16-year-old boy in high school .”
Over the years, Holmes has kept her private life quiet, but in 2019 she opened up to Elle UK about why she’s glad she became a mother in her twenties. “It’s been nice that our ages match,” she told the publication. “How do I put it? Every age my child has been and my age at the time has been a good match. We kind of grew up together.”
And now it looks like they might be taking Hollywood by storm together, too.
