Tom Cruise: I courted Katie Holmes aggressively

Actor says his wife is a wonderful mother

Tom Cruise started dating Katie Holmes in 2005

Tom Cruise has admitted that he was determined to win Katie Holmes' heart when they started dating.  

The actor professed his love for the star on The Oprah Winfrey Show in May 2005, jumping up and down on the settee.

‘I guess I did court her kind of aggressively,’ he says.

‘There things I did at the time that I look back on and think: “Well, OK, I could have handled a couple of moments of that a little better.”’

But Tom, 46, who is dad to 2-year-old daughter Suri, is blissfully happy.

‘Kate’s a wonderful mother, very calm and very loving,’ he tells Hello!.

‘She’s a woman who’s sure of herself, confident and strong. She’s incredibly wise as well as being a very gracious and elegant person. I adore her.’
