Connor Cruise is in the risky business of being a die-hard sports fan.
But Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's son made it look easy as he celebrated the Tampa Bay Rays' Game 4 win in their World Series face-off against the Milwaukee Brewers.
The 31-year-old—older brother to Isabella, 33—couldn't hide his excitement as he commemorated the nail-biting comeback with the Florida MLB team down three wins before the Oct. 27 game, captioning a selfie with friends at Tropicana Stadium, "You gotta believe!"
And it's not the first time Connor has made a big night out of his love for Florida sports teams. He and dad Tom—also dad to daughter Suri Noelle, 20, with ex Katie Holmes—were spotted together, along with Isabella, at a Tampa Bay Lightning hockey game in May 2024.
As such, it's no surprise that believing in the impossible runs in the family for Connor, with dad Tom having created a movie empire out of his lifelong passion for stories since he was a young child.
"There’s so much life, and there’s always another dream," the Mission: Impossible star told GQ in an interview published Sept. 15. "I think that a person without a dream, they’ve decided not to live."
And because of his love for movies, the 64-year-old is never one to hold back from giving his all to his latest role.
"When I’m working with people, I’m not afraid to, as I’m acting, to look foolish, to do it," Cruise remarked. "I work hard, and people that work with me, they know. I expect a lot and I’m up-front about it. It’s like, 'The rumors are true. And do you want this?'"
But his intensity on set doesn't stop the Top Gun action hero from having fun in his downtime. In fact, he was recently spotted chatting with Taylor Swift at a Chiefs game.
"I hadn’t been to a football game since pre-COVID, where I was working and everything," Cruise explained, praising Swift's NFL knowledge. "So to get to hang out there and have that moment, it was a lot of fun. She knows her stuff."
