TOM CRUISE: I WANT SEVEN MORE KIDS

Tom Cruise has revealed the extent of his love of fatherhood by claiming he wants to have seven more children with wife Katie Holmes.

Despite the 16-year age gap between the couple, Hollywood star Cruise said he wants to rival the six-strong brood of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

The 46-year-old already has a daughter with Batman Begins star Holmes, Suri, while he and ex-wife Nicole Kidman adopted two children, Isabella, now 16, and Connor, 13.

Speaking to the Sun, Cruise said: "I want ten children. I love kids. I feel really fortunate to have the teenagers and a two and a half-year-old. It's a great dynamic."

On Suri, two, Cruise described his daughter as "so charming... she's so beautiful, she's just great".

"I'm a great parent," he continued. "I want to be with my kids, and they get to do all the stuff that I wanted to do when I was growing up.

"My own father wasn't there much for me and I want to be a different dad to my kids. My family is the most important thing in my life."
