Tom Cruise is Honoured with a Certificate of his Irish Ancestry

AFRIK UPDATE

  
The actor was presented with a certificate celebrating his Irish ancestry during a trip to Dublin for the premiere of his new film, Oblivion. 
It has been revealed one of his forefathers helped stricken farmers in the nineteenth century, and prior to that, his bloodline can be traced back to days of knights in shining armor.

The research was commissioned by Tourism Ireland on behalf of The Gathering - an initiative to attract the Irish diaspora to visit Ireland through 2013.
Tom's Irish heritage was honoured with a reception hosted by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Tourism Ireland.


Tanaiste and Foreign Affairs Minister Eamon Gilmore presented the star with a framed certificate, which Tom looked delighted to receive.
