Dakota Fanning, 30, Reveals a Sweet Reason Why Tom Cruise Sends Her a Birthday Gift Every Year

Throughout her more than 20 years career, Dakota Fanning has collaborated with numerous esteemed Hollywood actors. Fanning opened up about her experiences working with such actors as Denzel Washington and Robert Pattinson. Among the many anecdotes she shared, one of the most heartwarming was about her time working with Tom Cruise in 2005’s War of the Worlds.

Tom Cruise gifted Dakota Fanning her first cell phone.

Fanning revealed that Cruise, whom she considers a lifelong friend, has been sending her a birthday gift every year since 2005. In a recent interview for Harper’s Bazaar Fanning shared that her first mobile phone came as a present from Tom Cruise. The actress revealed that her co-star in War of the Worlds gave her a Motorola Razr for her 11th birthday.

“Oh, my God, I was so excited,” she recalled this moment. However, Fanning admitted it might not have been the most practical gift, confessing that she didn’t have anybody to call or text at that time. “You know, I was 11,” she quipped, before adding, “But I loved having it. I loved it. I felt so cool.”

And the gifts didn’t stop at the iconic flip phone.

When Fanning joined Andy Cohen on the engaging show, Watch What Happens Live, she fondly revealed that Cruise didn’t stop his funny tradition. “He has sent me a birthday gift every year since I was 11 years old,” she disclosed, “Beautiful gifts.”

Now, more than a decade later, Fanning sometimes wonders if it will stop. “I always think, ’Oh, when I’m 18, he’ll probably stop. Oh, 21, he’ll stop.’ But every year. It’s really kind.”

Of course, Cohen asked Fanning to divulge what these “beautiful gifts” were, and surprisingly enough, the answer was fairly sensible, with Fanning revealing that “It’s usually shoes.”

It was not the only gift Dakota received from a Hollywood celebrity.

Dakota Fanning shared memories about a gift she got from her Dreamer co-star Kurt Russell. “Kurt Russell gave me a horse,” she said.

Reflecting on her experiences working with big names like Cruise and Russell since childhood, she mentioned that she didn’t feel intimidated, “Because I grew up familiar with being around people who would be considered ’intimidating’ kind of, I think it might’ve numbed that side of me a little. When you’re 8 years old, you’re sort of just getting to know a person as a person and not thinking about all of the other stuff, you know?”

Fans urge Tom Cruise to get anti-aging procedures, as he is deemed unrecognizable at 61. Click here to see photos.

A Woman Who Became A “Vampire” By Covering Entire Body In Tattoos Issues Warning

The woman who owns the Guinness World Record for having the most body modifications has issued a strong caution to those who are copying her.

Due of her peculiar appearance, Maria José Cristerna has earned the nickname “real-life vampire.” She has spent much of her life accumulating tattoos. At the age of fourteen, she got her first tattoo.

The Mexican woman has solidified her position as the most changed woman in the Guinness World Records for 2022 with a total of 50 bodily alterations.

Cristerna has undergone a number of strange physical changes, including several piercings, implants in her arms and forehead, a split tongue, and an incredible array of tattoos that nearly completely cover her body, including her eyeballs.

Speaking with Guinness World Records, Cristerna said that her father wasn’t initially in favor of the plan. However, he then accompanied me to the tattoo parlor where I got my first ever tattoo.

She declared, “Art runs through my veins,” underscoring her profound commitment to the arts. I have loved art since I was a small child, and I can now express it with my body.She ascribes her transformations to a ten-year abusive and oppressive marriage and works to support other women who have suffered similar emotional, mental, and physical violence.Love for oneself is the only path out of abuse and violence. “We came here to be happy,” she declared.

Her physical transformations serve as symbols of her strength, perseverance, and freedom from her past.

Every change has a certain significance, but Cristerna discovered that the most painful ones were the pigmentation in her eyes and the implants put in her arms.

Cristerna, who is celebrating her Guinness World Records title, is unwavering in her commitment to expressing herself.

“Your ambitions are always within your reach. There are no restrictions. If you put your mind to something, nothing is impossible, the woman proclaimed.

Her goal is to get tattoos covering every inch of her body, with the confident declaration, “I don’t care what people think about me.” I ranked myself highest. The key thing is that I am aware of who I am.

Cristerna did, however, offer a word of caution to young people considering making equally extreme changes: “It is irreversible, so you have to think it through very carefully.”

She went on, “I adore how I look, but you have to realize that there are young kids that are really accepting of piercings, tattoos, and all of that. We can eventually reach a point where it no longer fulfills our desires and we might grow tired of it since it has become trendy.

Therefore, in order to love it and be able to defend it for the rest of your life, you have to give it a lot of thought.

Even though the “Vampire Woman,” who wrote earlier this week about getting a new tattoo, advised others not to get tattoos until they were completely confident about them, she is still getting tattooed.

She shared a photo of her most recent makeover, which included a tattoo artist working on her back, on Instagram. An accompanying caption reads, “My brother’s tiger Rene Camarena Laus Satanus deserves one more stripe.”

We can’t believe what we see when we see her pre-ink appearance!
