Tom Cruise enjoyed a family day out as he was joined by his son, Connor, while in London.

The 61-year-old is currently in the UK while filming the upcoming Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning sequel.

New pictures have emerged showing the action icon heading out with the budding actor, 29, who he shares with ex-wife Nicole Kidman.

They were seen making the most of the summer sunshine by taking in a sightseeing flight over London, before returning to a heliport in Battersea.

Tom – who is also dad to Bella with Nicole, and Suri Cruise with third wife Katie Holmes – was clearly delighted at having company.

He grinned widely while safely seated at the front of the chopper, opting for a white polo shirt and dark blue jeans for the outing, paired with sparkling white trainers.

Connor got the casual memo in a black T-shirt and grey trousers, finishing off the look with a grey baseball cap, trainers and chunky sunglasses.

Tom has kept his bond with his children firmly behind closed doors in recent years, and they have rarely been pictured together.

Tom first met Nicole while filming 1990 flick Days of Thunder, and they walked down the aisle at the end of that year – before splitting in February, 2001.

They started their family by adopting Isabella in 1992, before adding to their brood with Connor three years later.

Tom previously opened up to Esquire about becoming a dad for the first time, and feeling an ‘immediate bond’ with Bella.

‘I remember that first night, just staring at Bella. I was checking her every second, just looking at her, feeling that immediate bond,’ he told the outlet in 2010. ‘I was probably looking at her so much that I was keeping her up.

‘I made a promise to her: All I can do is the best I can. But I’m not going to say I’m going to do something and then not do it.

‘If I tell you we’re going to have ice cream on Friday night, we’re going to have ice cream on Friday night.

‘If I say I’m going to take your call anytime you need me, and I’m in the middle of something on the set, my world is going to stop for you. I made that promise to all of my kids.’

Despite having superstars for parents, Connor and Bella have remained mostly out of the spotlight – the latter has started her own fashion line and has been highly praised for her artwork.

Connor previously followed Nicole and Tom into Hollywood with roles in Seven Pounds with Will Smith, in 2008, and once again in Red Dawn in 2012.
