Dakota Fanning recently shared a heartwarming anecdote about Tom Cruise's thoughtful gesture towards her. During an interview, Fanning revealed that Cruise never forgets her birthday, a fact she discovered when he gifted her a Motorola Razr for her 11th birthday while they were filming War of the Worlds together in 2005.

Despite being just 11 years old at the time and not having many people to call or text, Fanning expressed her excitement and gratitude for the gift, stating that she felt incredibly cool with her new mobile phone. This gesture marked the beginning of an annual tradition, with Cruise continuing to send Fanning birthday gifts every year since then.

Not only has Cruise been consistent in his birthday presents to Fanning, but she also shared another delightful gift she received from her Dreamer co-star Kurt Russell. In a separate interview, Fanning mentioned that Russell once gave her a horse, showcasing the generosity and thoughtfulness of Hollywood stars towards their colleagues.

These heartwarming stories shed light on the personal connections and gestures of kindness that exist within the entertainment industry. Fanning's experiences with Cruise and Russell highlight the lasting impact of thoughtful gestures and the bonds that can form between co-stars on set.
