Tom Cruise 'uses bulletproof cars'

Tom Cruise has insisted on using bulletproof glass in all his car windows, say reports.

According to In Touch Weekly, the actor is so concerned about the safety of wife Katie Holmes and his three children that he refuses to travel without the security measure.

"It sounds like Tom has taken a page out of one of his action movies," said a source. "A-list celebrities know they can't be too careful.

"Tom's vehicles look perfectly normal, but in reality they are more like armoured trucks. He really, really loves his cars and he can afford the best."

Cruise also reportedly only employs chauffeurs who are trained in self-defence.
