Dakota Fanning is the star of one of the latest Netflix productions, the series “Ripley” with Andrew Scott. As part of the promotion of the screen story about a sociopathic murderer, the actress gave an interview to “Harper’s Bazaar”. The conversation turned to cell phones.
Tom Cruise sends a gift to Dakota Fanning every year
The action of the series “Ripley” takes place in the 1960s in Italy. An important element in the story turned out to be a landline telephone in the apartment rented by the main character, which was rare at that time. Fanning, in turn, revealed that she received her first cell phone as a gift from the star of “Top Gun: Maverick”, Tom Cruise.
The actors met on the set of Steven Spielberg’s famous science-fiction film, “The War of the Worlds.” Fanning was only 11 years old at the time, and the shooting time fell on her birthday. Cruise gave the actress a Motorola Razr on this occasion.
Cruise isn’t the only one who remembers Fanning’s birthday
“I was so excited,” Fanning said, although she emphasized that she had no one to call or text at the time and wasn’t entirely sure Cruise’s gift was useful. – Still, I loved having this gadget. I felt great with him, she added.
However, it didn’t end with one gift from Cruise. Fanning admitted that she still regularly receives gifts from the famous actor. It’s been almost 20 years since the filming of “War of the Worlds,” and Tom Cruise still sends Fanning a birthday gift every year. Her last gift was on her recent 30th birthday.
The actress is lucky to have generous friends from the industry. Quite recently, Fanning admitted in a series of “Elle” magazine that she also received an unusual gift from Kurt Russell. The actor reportedly once gave her a horse.
