Tom Cruise was in high spirits as he made a rare appearance with his sister Marian on his 62nd birthday on Wednesday.

The actor had been filming scenes for the long-awaited sequel Mission Impossible 8 at Longcross Studios and was boarding his helicopter in Battersea with his sibling.

Tom was joined by Mission Impossible director Christopher McQuarrie and his wife Heather to board the chopper after another day's work on the film.

Marian was equally happy as she made her way along the landing pad, cutting a relaxed figure in a black padded jacket and matching loose trousers.

Tom has three sisters, Marian, Lee-Ann and Cass, and the actor has remained close to all of his siblings throughout his life. Their mother Mary Lee died in 2017.

 

In a 2006 interview with Parade magazine, Tom detailed the abuse he endured growing up from his father Thomas Cruise Mapother III, who died in 1984.

He said Thomas 'was a bully and a coward... the kind of person where, if something goes wrong, they kick you. It was a great lesson in my life - how he'd lull you in, make you feel safe and then, bang!' 

He added: 'For me, there's something wrong with this guy. Don't trust him. Be careful around him. There's that anxiety.' 

The sighting also comes just days after Tom also enjoyed a rare outing with his son Connor, who he shares with his ex-wife Nicole Kidman.

Cruise and Kidman tied the knot in 1990 with their divorce being finalized in 2001. During the course of their marriage, the pair adopted two children: Connor and Isabella, 31. 

Tom and Nicole adopted their daughter Isabella when she was born in December 1992, and three years later, also adopted Connor at birth in January 1995. 

During a past interview with Vanity Fair in 2007, the Moulin Rouge actress opened up about the decision to adopt after suffering a miscarriage. 

'From the minute Tom and I were married, I wanted to have babies. And we lost a baby early on, so that was really very traumatic. And that's when we would adopt Bella.' 

Kidman added, 'There's a complicated background to that, given that I never speak much about many things. One day maybe that story will be told.' 

Both Isabella and Connor have followed in their father's footsteps and also became Scientologists, which Nicole opened up about during an interview with the Australian publication, Who, in 2018. 

'They are adults. They are able to make their own decisions. They have made choices to be Scientologists and as a mother, it's my job to love them.' 

Connor has also previously gushed about his mother while talking to Woman's Day back in 2014. 'I love my mum.'

'I don't care what people say, I know that me and mum are solid. I love her a lot. My family means everything.' 

While Cruise seemingly still has close relationships with Isabella and Connor, the actor notably has a strained relationship with daughter, Suri, 18 - whom he welcomed with Katie Holmes. 

It was also recently revealed that Suri dropped the surname of Cruise amidst her estrangement from father, Tom Cruise.

The 18-year-old notably graduated from high school earlier this month - and now goes by the name of Suri Noelle, which also happens to be her mother, Katie's, middle name.

In the teen's school production of The Addams Family: A New Musical late last year in December, she was also credited as Suri Noelle rather than Suri Cruise.

Katie and Tom tied the knot in 2006, one year after they welcomed their daughter. However, their divorce was finalized in 2012.

A source told DailyMail.com earlier this year in April that the Top Gun: Maverick actor 'does not exist' to Suri - who is headed to Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University in the fall.

'Suri will not have any contact with her father, despite being 18, and even if he called, she would not answer.'

The insider added, 'He does not exist to Katie or Suri, and his daughter does not want to rely on him for anything. She feels that she has one parent and that is her mother.'

And in March of last year, a separate source told DailyMail.com that Cruise 'has no part in her life.' 

Shortly after Tom's latest outing with his son, Connor, the Top Gun: Maverick actor was seen having a blast at Glastonbury on Saturday. 

He was joined by his Mission Impossible co-star, Simon Pegg, as well as X-Files actress Gillian Anderson as they watched Coldplay's set during the festivities.
