Katie Holmes refused to mention Tom

Los Angeles – Katie Holmes refused to mention Tom Cruise in an interview she conducted a day before she announced her split from him.

The 33-year-old actress took part in an Q&A session with C magazine’s senior editor Kelsey McKinnon just one day prior to in June and Kelsey believes she was particularly guarded, never mentioning her husband by name.

Kelsey told WWD.com: “Going back over the tapes, there were signs; Holmes was certainly very aware of herself, laying a couple of cards on the table but never showing her whole hand.

“Most noticeably, the one name decisively absent from her lexicon: Tom Cruise. She never actually refers to him by name over pages and pages of transcription.”

Career

During the interview, Katie said she “didn’t know” if having six-year-old Suri with Tom had brought them closer together as a couple.

She said: “I don’t know. I mean … I don’t know. People have been having babies a long time.”

However, the former Dawson’s Creek actress was happier to discuss her career, saying she was ready to take on some more challenging parts.

She said: “I feel like I worked so much at such a young age that I really wanted to have life experiences. I feel more balanced and like I have more to bring to the table.

“I always felt like I wanted to catch up [in my personal life] to what I was doing [in my career].”
