Tom Cruise takes education seriously -- he's reportedly splashed out a whopping $1 million on classes for his two-year-old daughter Suri.
According to the Enquirer, Cruise and his wife Katie Homes are keen for the cute tot to have a rounded upbringing, so have decided to spend a fortune on private tuition.
A source reveals, "It doesn't matter what Suri is doing, Tom wants her to be able to do it better than any other child. All parents think their kids are special, but Tom and Katie firmly believe Suri is gifted.
"She is learning French and Spanish and has a tutor she sees once a week.
"Suri has shown a real love of dancing, so Tom and Katie are encouraging her as much as possible. She practices ballet, tap and modern dance for hours, nearly every day. She also has private gymnastics lessons and is learning soccer."
Katie is said to be convinced that socializing with older kids will benefit her daughter's development.
The source added, "Katie likes to have Victoria and David Beckham's sons around, since they are older. She thinks Suri will emulate what they do and learn even faster.
"Piano and violin lessons are on the to-do list. Tom and Katie just have to find time in Suri's busy schedule!"
That’s a lot of Dianetics classes!
Poor kid.
Sounds a bit steep...
$1 million is also the amount of money Suri is going to need to pay for all the therapy and anti-depressants she will need in about 10 years.
thats probably how much he gave a Scientology person to lay hands on her and get in touch with her thetans
Does Suri have a fringe on top? For petes sake give the little girl a real name!
Counting down until the Dems say this is ‘windfall’ education and demand she be dummed down to make her equal to those who can’t afford this type of education.
That has to be photoshopped. While he is short, I’ve seen him in real life and he isn’t that short.
Good grief. What, is he about 5’6”?
He is 5’7” but that photoshop makes him look like 4’9” at best..
Her mother is pretty stupid, so the chances this girl is “gifted” are remote.
She is cute, though.
Whaddya wanna bet this kid develops all kinds of emotional issues later
Suri. The Canadian word for “sorry.”
Yeah, those are the only kinds of classes that can cost in the millions of dollars... :-)
Xenu ain't gonna tutor for nuthin
If she were truly gifted, she would refuse to speak French.
My wife is from Holmes' home town. We used to see her almost every Thanksgiving-night at a local bowling alley (TG tradition in the midwest). My wife is 5'11", and Holmes was just as tall as she is. What is it with Cruise and woman that he has to stand on his tippy-toes to smooch?
I thought it was Austrian for ... wahtever.
