Tom Cruise has missed a press conference in order to shop for clothes for his new baby.

The actor - currently promoting new film M:I:III in Paris - was expected to show up for the subsequent premiere after missing the question and answer session to buy clothes for baby Suri.

Meanwhile, at the conference, co-star Michelle Monaghan joked of Cruise: "Just in general to kiss [him] is, you know...an experience of a lifetime. I highly recommend it...I said to Katie, I understand why you keep him around.”
