Even though he had to be in LA for the premier of his movie, Valkyrie, Tom Cruise made sure that his wife, Katie Holmes, knew he was there for her on her 30th birthday in NYC. Katie was performing ALL MY SONS, while Tom was away.
Addressing the audience, Holmes’s costar John Lithgow announced, “Tom Cruise, our good friend, devoted fan to the show, doting husband of Katie, could not be here tonight. He’s heartsick that he couldn’t be here … but he wanted to make his presence felt. So, he’s joining us, inviting all of you, to celebrate Katie’s birthday.”
It was then that a five tier birthday cake was wheeled out onto the stage, while other co-stars Dianne Wiest and Patrick Wilson encouraged the audience to sing Happy Birthday to Katie. Suri was even brought on stage to help mom blow out the candles. Ahhhhhhh.
Tom described the birthday celebration while he was on the red carpet
“I planned it so that when she comes out for the standing ovation, John [would] get the whole audience to wish her a happy birthday,” Cruise – who was in Los Angeles to premiere his new film, Valkyrie – told PEOPLE, just as the surprise was sprung.
That is kind of sweet. But if it was me, I would have wanted it to be OFF stage. But that’s just me
