Tom Cruise must be taking a page from his friend Will Smith’s play book. He has reportedly given his blessing to having son Connor try his hand at the movie business. Connor Cruise is set to appear in Will Smith’s upcoming drama Seven Pounds.

The 13 year old, no stranger to the behind the scenes aspects of moving making, has been hanging out on movie sets with his father and his mother Nicole Kidman since he was a tot.

Cruise’s son auditioned for a role in Smith’s current film project and got the part. The role is not listed on the movie overview so it might be a walk on. Even so, Tom is said to be extremely proud of his son. We half expect to see him jumping up and down on a couch somewhere soon.

The Columbia Pictures film is still in production. The film also includes Woody Harrelson and Rosario Dawson.
