Mission impossible? Tom Cruise has a big job coming up and it’s playing dad to his son, Connor Cruise, who he believes is headed down the wrong path.
A source told OK! Magazine in the latest issue that the actor is worried about his 21-year-old son, whose career as a DJ has brought unhealthy habits.
“Connor smokes, drinks and has put on a lot of weight,” says an insider. “Tom thinks late-night partying is to blame.”
