Suri Cruise Demanded a Real-Life Mary Poppins of Her Own
Every child goes through a phase where they’re obsessed with something, but it’s very rare for that thing to lead to castings calls in New York City. In one of our favorite stories, Suri Cruise saw the Broadway musical version of Mary Poppins three times and fell in love. Since she reportedly has dad Tom Cruise “wrapped around her little finger,” she asked him for a singing British nanny of her own.
A stranger to half measures, Cruise then supposedly contacted New York casting agencies in an attempt to land Suri her very own real-world Mary. Katie Holmes, it was reported at the time, wasn’t thrilled with the idea.
