Ten weeks and counting: Tom Cruise 'is missing Suri' but hasn't seen six-year-old in months... despite the private jet on standby
Tom Cruise is certainly enjoying himself in London - living it up at all the city’s top restaurants and nightclubs as he films his latest thriller.
But it is now nearly 10 weeks since the A list star saw his daughter Suri following his divorce from Katie Holmes.
Tonight, the actor's long-term lawyer and close friend Bert Fields told MailOnline that Cruise was very much 'missing' his little girl - and planned to see her as soon as possible.
He stressed: 'Tom is a loving, caring father. Suri is a vital part of his life and always will be.'

Mr Fields added: 'Of course he’ll be seeing her soon. He’s in England finishing one picture and preparing another.'
He said the star was 'absolutely' looking forward to being reunited with his daughter, insisting: 'He misses her.'
The father and daughter have been speaking 'once or twice' a day, according to Mr Fields, who said that his client was extremely proud that Suri had entered the first grade.
'Tom is a loving, caring father... Suri is a vital part of his life and always will be. Of course he’ll be seeing her soon'
The Mission Impossible star, 50, last saw the six-year-old when he took her away to Disney World in Florida at the end of July - and the pair were pictured frolicking in the waves at the Typhoon Lagoon at the family resort.
Since his split from his Katie Holmes at the end of June, Cruise has been holed up in the UK, where he has been filming his new thriller All You Need Is Kill, while his ex-wife - who has sole custody of their daughter - has started a new life in New York.
Cruise has hardly been quiet though, and on Saturday, he was seen out at top London restaurant Scott's.

He joined Oscar-nominated director Ridley Scott at the popular celeb haunt for a birthday dinner for chart-topping singer Usher – who proceeded to tweet a picture of the trio.
His appearance came just weeks after he partied the night away to celebrate actor Matt Damon’s 42nd birthday at notorious Soho club The Box, where it was reported that he was spanked with a paddle by a drag queen.
He has also been spotted at posh London nightspot Annabel's.

Since she last saw her father, Suri started the first grade on September 11 at Manhattan’s newest private School, Avenues.
She is one of the first intake of 700 pupils at the $39,750-per-year school and is pictured daily with Miss Holmes, 33, who is renting a three-bed apartment in New York’s fashionable Chelsea district.
'New York is just a six-and-a-half-hour flight, so quite why he couldn't have jumped on a private jet for a weekend is anyone's guess'
And a source said: 'Tom is a multi-millionaire, New York is just a six-and-a-half-hour flight from London, so quite why he couldn't have jumped on a private jet for a weekend is anyone's guess.'
Cruise was filming Oblivion in Iceland when Miss Holmes blindsided him by filed for divorce.
Mr Fields had previously said the fact the Cruise and Miss Holmes agreed to a divorce settlement in just 11 days was in Suri's best interests.
The divorce was finalised in August by a New York judge, marking a particularly speedy end to the five-year marriage.

Although the couple did have a pre-nuptial agreement which meant that Miss Holmes was not eligible to much of her former husband's $250 million fortune, she is believed to have been allowed to keep millions of dollars worth of jewellery.
Miss Holmes is now rehearsing for her next stint on Broadway in comedy Dead Accounts.
