Tom Cruise opened up about his son’s career saying he is very proud, but doesn’t want Connor to feel pressured.

“Who knows what he’s going to do?” Cruise said. “He’s grown up on (acting). I’ve always had my kids there, in hair and makeup, just always around the sets. They’ve worked on sets.”

Cruise said he’s played acting class games with his children, and they’ve often watched him develop characters.

Tom Cruise, 46, drove Connor to his audition for “Seven Pounds” was a “great father-son moment,” but the audition was more difficult. Cruise and the film’s star Will Smith, who are friends, were in the room when director Gabriele Muccino ordered them to leave.

Said Cruise: “(Muccino) looked at me and Will, and Will and I were like, `How’s he doing?’ And the director just said, `Out!’ So we were standing in the hall for about half an hour or something, wondering, `What’s going on in there? What’s happening?’”

Connor Cruise landed the part, playing a young Ben Thomas, Smith’s character, in the movie.
