Conner Cruise, the adopted son of Hollywood actors Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, was introduced to global travel from a young age and has continued that lifestyle in his professional life. Born on January 17, 1995, Conner was adopted by the celebrity couple during their marriage and raised within the Church of Scientology.
Though raised in a household renowned for acting, Conner chose to express his creativity through music rather than follow in the footsteps of his famous parents. Performing under the stage name DJ C-Squared, he has been active in the music industry since his early teens. He began DJing around the age of 13 and has since traveled extensively, performing at venues and music festivals worldwide.
Conner's musical style blends electronic dance elements with pop and hip-hop influences. He gained attention for his remix of "Feed Me Diamonds," originally by MNDR, which was picked up by Ultra Records and featured on the Late Show with David Letterman. He has collaborated with various artists, including Grammy-nominated producer/DJ Andy Caldwell and Black Eyed Peas producer/DJ Poet. One of his notable tracks includes "Refined."
Despite widespread expectations that he would enter the film industry, Conner’s acting career has been minimal. Notably, he had small roles in two films: he portrayed a younger version of Will Smith's character in the 2008 movie "Seven Pounds" and played a supporting role in the 2012 remake of "Red Dawn," in which he appeared as a Midwestern teenager resisting a foreign invasion. However, Conner ultimately opted not to pursue acting further.
Standing at 5 feet 6 inches tall, Conner sports a bearded appearance and often wears his hair in short dreadlocks. Despite not fitting a stereotypical celebrity image, he is known for his magnetic personality and humble demeanor. Fans and media often describe him as down-to-earth and personable, characteristics that complement his musical talent.
Conner frequently speaks about how DJing allows him to revisit the joy of traveling that he experienced in childhood. His global tours allow him to engage with different cultures and cuisines. While he has reportedly gained some weight due to his hectic performing schedule, he seems content with his current lifestyle and views his experiences positively.
Conner Cruise is biracial and has often emphasized that he maintains a close relationship with both of his adoptive parents. While media speculation has surrounded the nature of his connection with Nicole Kidman—particularly after her divorce from Tom Cruise—Conner has publicly stated that he has a "solid relationship" with her. Reports suggest that the Church of Scientology, which has labeled Nicole as a 'suppressive person,' disapproves of this association, but Conner has not publicly distanced himself from either parent.
There have also been unsubstantiated rumors about Conner leaving the Church of Scientology. Given Tom Cruise's high-profile association with the religion, such claims remain speculative and are unsupported by verifiable evidence.
