Summary
- Tom Cruise gifted Dakota Fanning her first mobile phone on her 11th birthday.
- The gift was given while filming 'War of the Worlds' in 2004.

Dakota Fanning recalled receiving her very first mobile phone from Tom Cruise when she was just 11 years old. The memorable gift occurred in 2004 while they were filming Steven Spielberg's 'War of the Worlds'.
Fanning shared that the gesture deeply excited her at the time, even though she was too young to have many people to contact. This initial birthday surprise in 2005 has since evolved into a long-standing tradition.
Cruise has reportedly sent Fanning a birthday gift every single year since that initial present. This annual tradition underscores a friendship that originated on the set of a blockbuster film and has quietly continued through the years.
