Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's son Connor Cruise took to social media to share a rare peek into his personal life.

The entrepreneur and fishing expert, 28, posted a photograph of himself on his Instagram Stories, partaking in one of his favorite activities – golf.

In the photo, he can be seen hitting up the green with a powerful drive, surrounded by tall buildings while seemingly on vacation at the Bosque Real Country Club near Mexico City.

Connor was dressed appropriately for a warm day on the tee in a light blue T-shirt with a pair of white shorts, matching sneakers, and a baseball cap.

While less active on social media than his sister Bella, 30, he does occasionally show support for his adoptive parents, specifically dad Tom as he tours the world in support of the upcoming Mission Impossible movie.

Connor lives in Florida, where he launched his own barbecuing business, Connor's Meat Shack, and appears to have some pretty impressive cooking skills. He is also an avid deep sea fisher, having frequently shared footage of his exploits in the water and learning to live off the earth.

Her work often features takes on the bright and colorful mixed with dark and surrealist themes, with the bio on her website reading: "Bella has been drawing ever since her wee hands could pick up a pen. 

"Since that point in time she's been evolving in her arts. Her go-to medium was pen and paper for most of her life. However, she is now venturing into other formats and mediums. Including digital. Which has been a bit of a game changer in her opinion. We hope you dig it."
