Cruise 'doesn't mind' paparazzi

Tom Cruise has credited paparazzi for taking some "incredible" shots of his two-year-old daughter Suri.

The actor told Australia's Grazia magazine that his youngest child, who recently topped a list of Hollywood's 'Ten Hottest Tots', is a "happy, fun" girl.

He said: "I have to say some of those paparazzi shots of my daughter are incredible. As a parent you protect your children, but Suri is a very open and warm child and she'll just wave to people on the street.

"It's certainly different these days with the media, but people have been very good to us and do give us space, so I am not going to be critical." The 46-year-old said Suri can expect a younger brother or sister in the future, but dismissed rumours that his wife Katie Holmes is already pregnant.

The Top Gun star also revealed that he is now an old hand at fatherhood after raising his two children from his marriage to Nicole Kidman, Connor and Isabella.

"It was Kate's first time and I feel I was a very helpful husband - when Bella was a baby I used to watch every breath she took. I kept her awake more than she kept me awake," he said.
