Actor Dakota Fanning says she got her first mobile phone as a gift from her War of the Worlds co-star Tom Cruise when she turned 11. In a recent interview for Harper's Bazaar, Fanning and Andrew Scott, her co-star on Netflix's series "Ripley", played a quiz and one of the questions was “Who gave Dakota her first cell phone?” In his response, Scott said, “Okay, well it's going to be some Hollywood icon … Tom Cruise.” Fanning confirmed Cruise gifted her a Motorola Razr for her 11th birthday while they were filming 2005's War of the Worlds.
