Tom Cruise has maintained a unique tradition of gifting designer shoes to his War of the Worlds co-star Dakota Fanning every year since her 12th birthday.
Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning co-starred in the 2005 film, directed by Steven Spielberg, where Cruise played Fanning's on-screen father.
During the filming, Cruise gifted Fanning a Motorola Razr cellphone on her 11th birthday.
Since Fanning turned 12, Cruise has been sending her a pair of designer shoes as a birthday gift every year, a tradition that started when she expressed excitement for adult-sized shoes during the film's press tour.
Fanning finds Cruise's annual shoe gift "so nice" and "so random."
War of the Worlds was a commercial success, grossing almost $604 million worldwide.
Cruise is known for being generous and remembering his co-stars even years after working together, often giving extravagant gifts like special coconut cakes at Christmas.
