Connor Cruise tweets a snap of him and his sister Isabella

Connor Cruise, Tom Cruise’ son, proudly posted a snap of him and his sister Isabella on his Twitter page last night.

Connor Cruise, who has just followed in his father’s footsteps with his first action film role, captioned the snap simply: “Me and my sister.”

The picture showed Connor Cruise, 17, posing with her arm around Isabella, 19, both teens grinning for the camera.

Isabella Cruise was casually dressed, wearing a slick of lipstick to brighten her look.

The aspiring artist has been spotted spending lots of time with boyfriend Eddie Frencher, a fellow Scientologist, recently.

The pair shares a modest apartment in the notorious Skid row district in Downtown Los Angeles and enjoys living a less famous life than her surname demands.

Meanwhile Connor Cruise has embraced the celebrity side of life, DJ-ing at Hollywood parties and now starring in a remake of Eighties teen action film Red Dawn.

He plays Daryl Bates in the movie, a member of armed resistance forces the Wolverines.

Tom Cruise and his ex-wife Nicole Kidman adopted Isabella in 1992, nine years before their separation, and added Connor to their family in 1995.

Since their parent’s divorce Connor and Isabella have remained with their father, being home schooled at his Los Angeles home, and are rarely seen with their mother.

Isabella and Connor are siblings to Suri Cruise, the daughter of recently divorced Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.
