Katie Holmes reveals daughter Suri sings in new movie: ‘She’s very, very talented’

Is Suri Cruise considering a musical career? Not quite, but the daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise is indeed honing her singing chops with the help of her mom.

In a new interview with Yahoo! Entertainment , Holmes reveals that her 16-year-old daughter recorded a cover of the classic song "Blue Moon" for the opening credits of Holmes' latest film, "Alone Together."

“I always want the highest level of talent, so I asked her! She’s very, very talented,” the 43-year-old explained.

Holmes pulled triple duty for the recently released film, which she wrote, directed and starred in. The proud mom gushed about her daughter's skills and said she gave her plenty of creative space to explore her passion.

“She said she would do it and she recorded it, and I let her do her thing,” she said. “That’s the way I direct in general: It’s like, ‘This is what I think we all want — go do your thing.'"

Holmes, who recently explained why there will not be a reboot of her classic TV show “Dawson’s Creek,” said she and Suri are particularly fond of the song "Blue Moon" for a few reasons. For starters, Diane Keaton's 1987 film "Baby Boom" was one of the influences on "Alone Together," and Keaton happened to cover the song in the 2014 film "And So It Goes."

“Diane met my daughter when she was a year old,” Holmes explained.

The actor is notoriously private and only rarely shares photos of Suri, so her fans might be surprised to hear that the teenager sings in her new film. But as it turns out, this isn’t the first time Suri has contributed to one of her mom's projects.

“She actually did sing in 'Rare Objects,' which is the film we did last fall,” Holmes said. That movie has yet to be released.

Suri clearly has a budding interest in music, but Holmes is very much focused on giving her daughter a normal childhood.

“Other than that, she’s a 16-year-old kid doing high school,” she said with a laugh.

Over the years, Holmes has sporadically shared photos of her daughter. She posted a video of the teenager running and jumping in an empty street in 2020.

The same year, she also shared a photo of the back of Suri's head to celebrate her 14th birthday.

In 2021, the mom posted a few black-and-white throwback photos of her pride and joy as she turned 15.

“Happy 15th Birthday Sweetheart! I love you!!!!!!!!” she captioned the post. “I can’t believe you are already 15!”

Katie Holmes' Daughter Suri Sings 'Blue Moon' Cover in New Movie: 'I Let Her Do Her Thing'

Holmes wrote, directed and stars in Alone Together , which features a special voice appearance by Suri

Katie Holmes is endlessly proud of her little girl.

During a discussion about her new film Alone Together , the Dawson's Creek alum, 43, told Yahoo! Entertainment that she wanted "the highest level of talent" for her new film, which is how daughter Suri became involved.

Holmes shares that she asked her 16-year-old daughter to record the cover of "Blue Moon" that appears in the film's opening credits. "I always want the highest level of talent, so I asked her!"

"She's very, very talented. She said she would do it and she recorded it, and I let her do her thing," Holmes — who wrote, directed and stars in the film — says. "That's the way I direct in general: It's like, 'This is what I think we all want — go do your thing.' "

That's not the only project Suri is involved in, either. "She actually did sing in Rare Objects , which is the film we did last fall," Holmes says, referring to the period drama based on the 2016 bestseller by Kathleen Tessaro.

While Suri's having fun participating in her mom's projects, she's not launching a singing career quite yet. "Other than that, she's a 16-year-old kid doing high school," Holmes says, laughing.

Holmes also explains that she and Suri have a special connection to "Blue Moon." Holmes was inspired to write Alone Together , in part, by the 1987 Diane Keaton comedy Baby Boom . Keaton sings "Blue Moon" in the 2014 Rob Reiner film, And So It Goes .

"Diane met my daughter when she was a year old," Holmes tells Yahoo! Entertainment, noting that it made her daughter singing the classic 1934 ballad in her film a full-circle moment for Holmes, a devoted Keaton fan.

In November 2020, Holmes wrote a piece for Vogue Australia's November issue about how the COVID-19 pandemic — which Alone Together focuses on — allowed for more introspection and quality time with her daughter.

"Hobbies such as sewing, painting and writing became new hallmarks of satisfaction and having had time at home to just be. To listen," she wrote at the time. "To live for a moment in time without the pressure of results and instead appreciate the natural rhythms of mother and daughter was the most precious gift ."

The Batman Begins actress went on to recall how she reinforced her mantra to be more present in her daily life during isolation.

"During this time of uncertainty, remembering to be creative and positive has been something I have tried to keep at the forefront of my mind," said Holmes. "Throughout this experience the through-line for me has been a heightened awareness of each moment and really taking it in and appreciating it."

Explaining her decision to include Suri—who she shares with ex-husband Tom Cruise —in the project, Katie told  Yahoo! Entertainment , "I always want the highest level of talent, so I asked her."

Suri Cruise Makes Her Big-Screen Debut 25 Years After Her Mom Katie Holmes Did

Holmes is one proud mom as her 16-year-old sings "Blue Moon” in Alone Together.

Her long brown hair and gorgeous smile aren’t the only things Katie Holmes and ex Tom Cruise passed down to their lookalike daughter Suri Cruise. The 16-year-old also got a big dose of talent from her famous parents. Recently, Suri officially made her big-screen debut in an appearance in Alone Together , a romantic comedy that Holmes wrote, directed, and starred in. Suri sings “Blue Moon” in the film, which was released 25 years after Holmes made her own feature film debut in Ang Lee’s The Ice Storm. It’s a cool full-circle moment and Holmes couldn’t be prouder of her daughter.

“I always want the highest level of talent," Holmes told Yahoo Entertainment on July 26 about her daughter guest starring in Alone Together. “So I asked her! She's very, very talented. She said she would do it and she recorded it, and I let her do her thing. That's the way I direct in general: It's like, 'This is what I think we all want — go do your thing.'"

Holmes was only a few years older than Suri is now when she appeared in her breakout role as Joey Potter on Dawson’s Creek , which ran for 6 seasons from 1998-2003. She’s since transitioned to a film career, starring in Batman Begins, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, and Miss Meadows among others.

Holmes reflected on her first film in 1997. "That shoot was so exciting for me — it was my first job," she told Yahoo. "When I was there, I didn't really understand what was happening, but in looking at the film many times after, Ang's ability to capture worlds is so incredible. I think that he's such a poet in the way that he shoots a scene, and the dialogue he uses and how that tells the story in a very simple way. It's all about finding the simplest way to get your story across."

Now, Holmes is telling her own stories, and she loves having her daughter work with her. Later this year, Suri’s voice will appear in another one of Holmes’ movies.

"She actually did sing in Rare Objects , which is the film we did last fall," says Holmes of her third feature, a period drama based on the 2016 bestseller by Kathleen Tessaro that will be released on December 31, 2022.

"Other than that, she's a 16-year-old kid doing high school," Holmes added.

The song is not only Suri’s film debut, but the story behind it has a special meaning. Alone Together was in part inspired the 1987 comedy Baby Boom, which starred Diane Keaton. “Diane met my daughter when she was a year old," Holmes told Yahoo Entertainment of Keaton, who sang “Blue Moon” in the 2014 Rob Reiner film And So It Goes.

Holmes’ creative nature likely influenced Suri’s spark for singing and acting. In December 2021, Holmes told Romper , “I like spending time with people way more than worrying about gifts and things,” about her holiday traditions. “The arts and crafts and the good food… that's what I love doing during the holidays and just making it very creative.”

Watch Alone Together in theaters or rent for $6.99 on Amazon Prime Video.

Alone Together, Blue Moon: the song in the film credits

Alone Together was released on Netflix U.S. on July 29, 2022, and it has fascinated the viewers from the first day. The story, set in the first days of the Covid-19 pandemic, explores the relationship between a guy and a girl that find themselves in the same apartment and start to know each other, getting closer and closer. The director of the movie is Katie Holmes, and she managed to trigger the viewers’ interest with a particular curiosity: the song you can hear in the opening credits is performed by Suri Cruise, the 16-year-old daughter Katie had with Tom Cruise. It’s an old classic, Blue Moon , and we will discover more about it in this article.

You can find the official movie trailer here on Youtube .

Blue Moon : the song performed by Suri Cruise in the opening credits of Alone Together

Blue Moon was originally written by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart in 1934. The original song is the one you find below.

The song’s melody is so flexible that, over the years, many artists reinterpreted it in different ways and styles. One of the most popular versions is the song released by The Marcels ( you find it here ). Still, among the most famous artists who made a personal version of Blue Moon we see Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan, and many others.

Blue Moon : the lyrics and their meaning

Blue Moon ‘s lyrics are poetic and hide an enigmatic meaning. The expression “blue moon” refers to the astrological event of two full moons in the same calendar month, which happens rarely. Therefore, metaphorically, the author is talking about an unanticipated event that occurred in his life: he found love all of a sudden; the singer was alone, but somehow he received a gift from above, a girl asked him to love her, and he realized that he wasn’t alone any longer.

Below you can find the complete lyrics from the original song:

Blue moon you saw me standing alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own

Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for You heard me saying a prayer for Someone I really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms will ever hold I heard somebody whisper “Please adore me” And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold!

Blue moon! Now I’m no longer alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own

The version performed by Suri Cruise is not yet available online. As soon as it will be published, you will find the streaming in this article.

Katie Holmes's daughter Suri Cruise performed song for Alone Together

Katie Holmes tapped her "very talented" daughter Suri Cruise to perform a song for her new movie.

In an interview for Yahoo Entertainment to promote Alone Together, the former Dawson's Creek actress confirmed that her 16-year-old, whom she shares with ex-husband Tom Cruise, sings the cover of Blue Moon that plays during the opening credits.

"I always want the highest level of talent. So, I asked her! She's very, very talented. She said she would do it and she recorded it, and I let her do her thing," said Katie. "That's the way I direct in general. It's like, 'This is what I think we all want - go do your thing.'"

The 43-year-old went on to share that Suri also sang in (her movie) Rare Objects, but she isn't planning on pursuing a career in the entertainment industry just yet.

"Other than that, she's a 16-year-old kid doing high school," she laughed.

Katie wrote, directed, and stars in Alone Together, which centres around two strangers who share an Airbnb in New York City during the Covid-19 lockdown.

The romantic drama, also featuring Jim Sturgess, Melissa Leo, and Zosia Mamet, is now showing in U.S. cinemas.

Suri Cruise, 17, pictured with beautiful long hair as she heads off for last vacation with mom Katie Holmes before her 18th birthday

The daughter of tom cruise lives in new york with her actress mother.

Suri Cruise looked so grown up on Wednesday when she she was captured heading on vacation with her mother, Katie Holmes  from New York. 

The mother-daughter duo were pictured getting into a car with their luggage as they headed off for the Easter weekend. Suri's beautiful long hair took centre stage of the pre-holiday snaps. The 17-year-old donned a pair of fabulously vibrant red trousers covered in white swirls, a corduroy navy blue jacket with a shearling collar and black trainers. 

Meanwhile, mom Katie oozed glamour wearing an oversized army-green jacket and beige trousers. The actress slipped on a pair of dark sunglasses, and opted for a pair of chunky black sandals for footwear.

The mother-daughter trip came just weeks before Suri turns 18 on April 18. Katie is exceptionally private about her daughter, and whether or not she will go to college has yet to be revealed. 

However, Suri has been involved in two of her mother's movies, Alone Together and Rare Objects, where she can be heard showing off her impressive singing voice.

Therefore, it is likely that the youngster may want to follow in her movie star parent's footsteps for a career in Hollywood.  Listen to Suri's incredible vocals in the video below.

Prior to their latest appearance in New York, the duo were spotted back in December for  Katie's 45th birthday celebrations.  The pair couldn't have looked more similar in the photos.

Katie looked effortlessly glamorous,  sporting a grey and black leopard print maxi dress, which she paired with classic white boots. 

Meanwhile, Suri was wrapped in a cozy grey tweed coat, oversized maroon scarf and black pointed-toe heels.

He does however pay £400,000 a year in child support which will come to an end when she turns 18 in April.

The former couple had a whirlwind romance and were engaged in June 2005, two months after they started dating. They welcomed Suri one year later. The pair split in August 2012.

Katie and Suri couldn't be closer and Katie has previously opened up about becoming a mother at 27: "I was happy to become a mom in my twenties. It's been nice that our ages fit … how do I put this? Every age that my child has been and my age at that time has been a good match. We kind of grew up together," she told Elle UK.
