Rex Features

Tom Cruise has revealed that he thinks he leads a blessed existence.

The 44-year-old actor said that he is content with his third marriage to Katie Holmes and his children.

"I have a blessed life. I have a happy family, children that I adore and I get to make movies, which has been a lifelong dream of mine," he told The Telegraph.

Cruise added that he would like his daughter Suri to lead as normal a life as she can, despite having famous parents, saying: "I don't want her to be afraid of people.

"As a parent you protect your children and do every thing you can, but I'm not going to live in fear or have her be frightened of people. She's a very open and warm child with lots of love and lots of understanding. She'll just wave to people in the street. That's Suri."
