Jamie Foxx and Tom Cruise’s Friendship Before Katie Holmes Relationship.

Before Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise had a close relationship with Jamie Foxx. The two first met in 1994 when they both auditioned for the movie “Jerry McGuire”. Foxx has shared that Cruise taught him the art of subtle acting, and he was able to see how much of an A-list star Cruise was when Foxx crashed their stunt car while filming the 2004 action flick “Collateral” and the production team’s only concern was Cruise’s wellbeing.

In 2012, Foxx praised both Cruise and Holmes for how they handled their divorce. Foxx said it was “testimony to both of their characters”. Entertainment Tonight reported that the two had a strong bromance and flirted with each other at the premiere of “Collateral”. They also shared parenting tips and enjoyed playdates after Isabella and Connor Cruise became friends with Corrinne Foxx. Foxx said that Cruise was a genuine and cool guy and that he would always have a friend in him.
