Tom Cruise's son playing a young Will Smith?

It will be a small and non-speaking role but it's kind of significant I guess. The Associated Press say that Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's adopted son Connor Cruise will play a younger version of Will Smith's character in his upcoming drama Seven Pounds. Connor shot his part over a month ago during two consecutive days of filming and although he will mostly be shown in photographs, it's a big moment for him as it marks his debut on film.

The movie is Smith's reunion with The Pursuit of Happyness director Gabirelle Muccino where he plays a man who affects the lives of seven strangers in very different ways. Rosario Dawson and Woody Harrelson co-star in the film due out in December (January UK). source - coming soon
