Tom Cruise’s Son Connor Clarifies Caitlyn Jenner Comments

The 52-year-old actor’s son Connor, 20, recently received backlash over some comments he made about Caitlyn Jenner being awarded the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the 2015 ESPYs in July.
“Really?? Winning the AA award for courage?? Ashton [Kutcher] is gonna come out and yell PUNK’D,” Connor wrote in a since deleted tweet (via E! News). “Don’t get me wrong. Do what you feel like doing and don’t let anyone stop you. But everyone is taking this way too seriously…There are so many more important things that should be talked about…And SO MANY MORE IMPORTANT PEOPLE that actually deserve an award.”
Connor later clarified his comments in a series of tweets:
Totally twisting what I said, if you read what I said I totally support being happy and am glad she is happy.

We just need to as a nation and a world get back to business and making everything a better place.

Way more about the problems the world needs to solve than about her guys.
