  • Story Text: Movie star Tom Cruise, gushing over his "spectacular" newborn baby, said on Monday (April 24) his bride-to-be Katie Holmes had convinced him to keep touring Europe to promote his new film, "Mission: Impossible III".
    After announcing to a packed Rome press conference that he was rushing home later Monday to be with his family, Cruise told Reuters on the red carpet that Holmes and his baby girl, Suri, were doing so well that he would continue to Paris and London.
    "I spoke with Katie and here we discussed it ... She said, 'You know, things change,'" Cruise said.
    "I realise the fans are going to be there in London and Paris and you know, everything is cool. So we're going to hit it. We're going to bang it."
    Cruise has two older children that he adopted during his marriage to actress Nicole Kidman -- 13-year-old Isabella and 11-year-old Connor. Suri was his first biological child.
    Cruise said that he didn't yet know whether Suri looked more like him or his mother, but joked that "she came out" with his haircut. The Hollywood A-lister also suggested that he wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty.
    'M:I:3' is an adrenaline-packed two hours of death-dodging that sees the action star leaping from Shanghai skyscrapers and breaking into Vatican City.
    "We had a little bit more money on this movie, but at the core making films is making films, whether you do it with Woody Allen or with J.J. Abrams", said actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers, not worried to pass from Woody Allen movie's 'Match point' to a gigantic production like Mission: Impossible.
    "There is a part that you want to play well and that you're interested in and that you want to do well. So there's difference but there's also similarity", said actor Philip Seymour Hoffman, who recently won the Academy Award as best actor performing in the small independent movie 'Capote'.
    Part of the film was shot in Rome, the city where Cruise and Holmes, known in tabloid shorthand as "TomKat", first made their romance public in late April 2005, smiling for photographers during the David di Donatello awards.
