Following his whistle-stop visit to Ireland last week, Tom Cruise is telling American audiences about his Irish heritage.
Speaking on Jimmy Kimmel Live about being presented with a Certificate of Irish Ancestry from the Department of Foreign Affairs, he said: "It was incredible.
"As a gift, they went and researched my family. It was an amazing story.
"These two wonderful women did this as a gift for me. They gave me a cert saying this and traced my family back to the ninth century. I had no idea it went back that far.
"You couldn't make this stuff up - I found out my ancestors owned a town called Hollywood. It's wild.
"One guy was a famine hero."
He added: "I asked what they meant by that - he was in New York and this guy who was helping to run estates wanted to throw tenants off the farm, so he got on a boat in the middle of winter, went all the way back and reinstated the tenants on the farm.
"He fired the lawyer and they threw him a big dinner in celebration.
"There were knights for Strongbow. They said we could be there for a long time, but I only had 40 minutes.
"They showed me a picture where the foundation of the castle was - they said my family owned most of Dublin at a certain point.
"It was unbelievable."
