Establishing the Cruise Dynasty

Connor Cruise, Tom and Nicole’s son, has been cast in the upcoming remake of Red Dawn.

He will be playing the son of the mayor opposite Chris Hemsworth and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’s Isabel Lucas. Click here to see who’s playing who.

I cannot help but wonder if, you know…the young Cruise got the role because he’s the son of somebody. I can’t imagine he dazzled the powers that be that much with his silent cameo as a young Will Smith in Seven Pounds.

Although playing the son of a somebody should be a cinch.
