Speaking to host Kelly Clarkson, Fanning discussed her friendship with her former “War of the Worlds” costar, Tom Cruise, who’s given her birthday gifts ever since. Fanning turned 30 in February.

“I turned 11 on ‘War of the Worlds’ and he gave me my first cell phone for that birthday,” Fanning explained. “It was a Motorola Razr. I wanted one so bad and I must have been talking about it a lot.”

Fanning also credited Cruise with helping her acquire a massive collection of footwear.

“He always sends me the same thing every year,” she said. “After the cell phone, I loved shoes when I was little and I started to be able to fit into really small adult shoes on the ‘War of the Worlds’ press tour, so I was very excited. From that birthday on, he always sends me shoes.”

“The Watchers” marks the directorial debut of Ishana Night Shyamalan, daughter of “The Sixth Sense” helmer M. Night Shyamalan.
