U know it wouldn’t surprise me if Tom Cruise sees Greg as a son. If you didn’t know Tom’s adopted son is black (his name is Connor) so yeah not surprising at all if Greg reminds Tom of Connor

Tom Cruise had similar compliments for Davis, who he predicts has a bright future ahead in Hollywood.
“He’s very charismatic, he’s a very good person, he’s a very hard worker and I’m glad that you love his performance,” Cruise said of Tarzan. “You’ll see what he brings in time and it’s a pleasure. He works very hard. He’s very talented. You see the moments that he creates and the arc of that character. I’m very proud of him. He’s a good dude.”
So it's more likely that Cruise see's Davis as someone who shares the same work ethic as him. He's a fresh and eager face in Hollywood - it's going to be very easy for Cruise to mold him into a household name.
