“After taking my picture with Tom, I also asked him to autograph my money, which he found out to be funny, asking me how much the bill was worth. Then, he went with Cameron to take couple pictures for the press but not before promising to come back.”

“I couldn’t fail to register my sincere compliments to Tom Cruise, who is an amazing person. I have been his fan since he was starred in Top Gun. Today I continue to follow his brilliant career. When I heard through the Internet he and the beautiful Cameron Diaz would be at the Vivo Rio, I left my law office early to see him. I was even more delighted with his charisma, charm and attention to all the fans there. Congratulations to Tom, who is a wonderful example of a person and who is always welcome in our city. Here is the picture I took with my eyes shining with joy. Before the photo, I wished him a Happy Birthday. Congratulations!”

“He’s the sweetest guy I’ve ever met! The camera didn’t work and he stopped and took two photos with us to make sure the camera was working.”

ABOVE: Ana Carolina gives us an account of getting to the Vivo Rio and finding a spot in the crowd to welcome Tom and Cameron to Brazil:
“After anxiously waiting for the day I would finally see Tom Cruise again, my 3 friends and I stepped into Vivo Rio. It was about 7:00 pm, and lots of fans were already there. We made our way through the crowd and found a nice place where we would be able to see both Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz taking pictures for the press. It was 8:30 when they got to Vivo Rio.”
For all the fans at the premiere last night, we’re still happy to post your blogs, photos and videos from the Knight and Day premiere to this page with full credit. Share your experience with the world!
