Tom Cruise grabs some precious father and son time with 15-year-old Connor at an LA Lakers game

Suri of course demand an awful lot of Tom Cruise's time, but of course the Hollywood star has two other children to whom he is also extremely dedicated.
And yesterday it was his 15-year-old son Connor who spent an evening with his famous father.
The father and son team visited the Staples Centre in Los Angeles to watch the LA Lakers play basketball, enjoying some quality time together.

Connor made his acting debut in 2008 film Seven Pounds as Will Smith's character aged 12.
Next he's set to star in the remake of the film Red Dawn. Tom also told the show's host that Suri not only chooses her own wardrobe, but also offers her father advice on what to wear.
He said of the four-year-old: 'She likes to dress herself and wears whatever she wants to wear.

She wants to wear it, she wears it... a girl wants to wear what she wants to wear. I'm not going to tell her different.
'She's got great taste too. She tells me what to wear.'

And he also said his youngest daughter has no problem dealing with the paparazzi.
Tom said: 'It's been there her whole life. She's just such a happy, easy, fun girl. She just deals with it. We don't make it a problem. We don't get nervous about it.
'Katie's a very relaxed person, and you just deal with it.'
Meanwhile Cruise's wife Katie Holmes was pictured paying an early morning visit to a dance studio in Hollywood.
Dressed casually in a striped T-shirt and grey tracksuit bottoms, and wearing a trendy pair of high-top trainers, the actress carried a large Louis Vuitton bag as she headed for a workout.
