Tom Cruise’s closeness to his family — especially to his mother Mary — is legendary, but in a new interview with Esquire magazine, he opened up about a side of his family he rarely talks about – his late father.
“He was an electrical engineer moving between jobs, and we moved a lot,” the actor told Esquire of his father – Thomas Cruise Mapother III, whom he was named after. “My mother basically did all the work, and then they got separated and I didn’t see him for a long time. He didn’t try to help the family financially or spiritually, and I lived with the effects of the chaos.”
