Pike: Cruise was so supportive

Tom Cruise couldn't have been kinder to Rosamund Pike when she worked alongside him on thriller Jack Reacher, the new mum has revealed.

Rosamund was five months pregnant with son Solo - who she gave birth to in May - when filming wrapped on the new movie.

She told the Daily Mail: "Certain stars might have said: 'Get someone else, she's pregnant!' That sort of thing goes on in this day and age.

"You don't know if you're going to have terrible morning sickness, whether you're going to suddenly balloon. I felt as if I had a secret stowaway!"

She added of her co-star Tom: "He could not have been more supportive... Sometimes you think, after 30 years, the performance might be just for the camera - but you get all of it with Tom. Everyone gets all of it."

Tom plays a former US military cop sent to discover the truth behind five killings in the film, with Rosamund as the lawyer representing the sniper accused of the deaths.
