Connor Cruise is back on Instagram after nearly a 2-year hiatus. On January 24, the son of actors Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman uploaded a selfie taken at Pelican Golf Club in Florida.
Cruise posed for a photo with a friend while playing a round of golf. He didn’t caption the post and he turned the comments of the post off. However, on his Instagram Stories, he shared another photo of the course with the caption, “No place like home.” He tagged actor Michael Pena, an avid golfer, in the post.
Cruise hasn’t shared a traditional selfie on the Instagram platform since 2018.

Connor Cruise Rarely Makes Headlines
Despite having two super famous parents, Cruise manages to stay out of the public eye.
And while rumor has it that Cruise is estranged from Kidman, he was still in touch with his dad as of 2024 — according to Hello! magazine, he attended the premiere for “Mission: Impossible,” in support of his dad.
Interestingly, Edward Zwick, who directed “The Last Samurai” which starred Tom Cruise, shared some tidbits about Connor Cruise in his 2024 autobiography.
“If I hoped to get him to the right emotional place, I felt I needed to touch some vulnerable part in him that I’d yet to see him reveal in the movie,” he wrote about trying to get more raw emotion out of the actor as they tried to film a crucial scene before the natural light faded,” Zwick wrote in “Hits, Flops, and Other Illusions: My Fortysomething Years in Hollywood,” according to Hello!
Zwick decided to ask Tom Cruise about his son.
“I knew Connor had just returned to L.A. and Tom wouldn’t be seeing him for a while,” Zwick wrote, adding, “For a moment Tom was quiet. And then he began to talk. It doesn’t matter what he said in those few short moments in the fading light. I watched as he looked inward, and a window seemed to open and his eyes softened.”
Zwick said that Tom Cruise then “nailed the scene.”
