Connor Cruise enjoyed a wholesome day out with his famous dad over the weekend, stepping out for a chopper lesson in London.

It was an unusual sighting of the 24-year-old former DJ and deep-sea fishing enthusiast, who is rarely seen out in public, let alone with his parents.

He was adopted by Tom Cruise, 57, and Nicole Kidman, 52 during their 11-year marriage from 1990 to 2001.

In the photos, Connor and his A-list dad were dressed casually as they walked towards a helicopter, Tom waving to onlookers as they went.

Connor recently made headlines when it was revealed he had become a “recruiter” for the church of Scientology with his fiance Silvia Zanchi, who comes from a staunch Scientologist family from Italy.

The 26-year-old reportedly works at the organisation’s Belleair mission, near Clearwater, Florida, which serves as Scientology’s power base. This is reportedly also where Connor lives.

Hollywood megastars Tom and Nicole Kidman adopted both Connor and his sister Isabella, 26 during their marriage.

Mission: Impossible star Cruise split from Kidman in 2001 and retained custody of Connor and his sister Isabella.

The Top Gun star also has daughter Suri, 13, with third wife Katie Holmes, 40, while Nicole has daughters Sunday Rose, 11, and Faith Margaret, 8, with her second husband Keith Urban, 51.

Kidman and Cruise have reportedly barely spoken since their divorce, and sources said Kidman, a devout Catholic, privately blamed the church of Scientology for ruining her marriage. Her children are now both part of the church with their dad.

The Big Little Lies star did not attend Isabella’s wedding to Max Parker in London in 2015, and it has been reported she is not invited to Connor’s upcoming nuptials.

In 2014, Connor told Woman’s Day he still had a relationship with his mother despite the fact that they’re not seen together.

“I love my mum,” he said. “I don’t care what people say, I know that me and Mum are solid. I love her a lot. My family means everything. Yeah, I love my music, but the family comes before everything else.”
