Tom Cruise 'preparing Suri for showbiz'

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are reportedly preparing daughter Suri Cruise for a life in the entertainment industry.

The pair, who married in 2006, allegedly encourage 4-year old Suri's talents by giving her classes on performing.

According to Showbiz Spy, a source said: "They are giving her singing, dancing and acting classes to help prepare her.

"Tom is a real stage father, making sure Suri puts expression into her lines when she puts on her little shows, and he encourages her when she does a good job.

"Suri is showing talent already. She loves to put on shows for the whole family, asking her big sister, Isabella, to help her make ‘tickets’.

"She’s always asking Katie to book tickets for Broadway musicals so she can watch other performers sing and dance.

"Tom and Katie aren’t afraid of Suri becoming a child actor - even with all of its pitfalls - because they feel she’ll be fine with their firm guidance."
