Is Tom Cruise a bad biological father, caring for another girl to make up for his faults? Explore Tom’s astonishing actions on Dakota Fanning’s birthday every year.

Fanning and Cruise — whom the actress called “so thoughtful” — starred in 2005’s ‘War of The Worlds’ together

You never forget your first cell phone — especially if you’re Dakota Fanning!

During a Harper’s BAZAAR interview with her Ripley costar Andrew Scott, Fanning, 30, revealed that Tom Cruise gifted her her very first mobile phone.

While fielding questions about each other, Scott, 47, guessed the answer to “Who gave Dakota her first cell phone?” — and he was spot-on.

“Okay, well it’s going to be some Hollywood icon … Tom Cruise?” Scott questioned.

After Fanning shared that Cruise, who was her costar in 2005’s War of the Worlds, gifted her a Motorola Razr for her 11th birthday, Scott asked, “Were you so excited?”

“Oh, my God, I was so excited,” the actress recalled.

But it may not have been the most useful gift, as Fanning admitted that she “didn’t have anybody to call or text at that time.”

“You know, I was 11,” she joked, adding, “But I loved having it. I loved it. I felt so cool.”

And the gifts did not stop with the iconic flip phone, the Twilight actress revealed to Scott.

“Tom sends me a birthday gift every year, and has since that birthday,” she said, noting that the most recent arrived on her 30th birthday earlier this month.

“So thoughtful. Really, really nice,” she said of the Top Gun star as Scott joked, “He’s never given me anything.”

Cruise’s Motorola Razr was not the only gift Dakota received from a Hollywood icon during her child star days.

While appearing with Scott in ELLE‘s “Ask Me Anything” interview series, the actress said that the “best wrap gift” she ever received was given to her by Kurt Russell, her costar in 2005’s Dreamer

“Kurt Russell gave me a horse,” Fanning said, as Scott joked, “That could be your autobiography. … Kurt Russell Gave Me a Horse: The Dakota Fanning Story. “

And, while reflecting on working with Cruise, Russell and other major celebrities as a child star, Dakota told the magazine she didn’t get intimidated because it became normal for her.

“Because I grew up familiar with being around people who would be considered ‘intimidating’ kind of, I think it might’ve numbed that side of me a little,” she said. “When you’re 8 years old you’re sort of just getting to know a person as a person and not thinking about all of the other stuff, you know?”
