Tom Cruise watches son Connor perform his first ever UK DJ gig... but who knew you could make a sneaky exit from Chinawhite through a tourist shop?

It was his first ever UK DJ gig, so of course father Tom Cruise showed up to give his support.
And the Mission: Impossible star was given extra special treatment as he managed to exit the venue through a secret back exit... through a trashy tourist shop in London's Oxford Street.
The actor had been enjoying the night inside the members club as his 17-year-old son showed off his skills behind the decks.

Sneaky! Tom Cruise managed to avoid running into a crowd after watching his son DJ in Chinawhite after he was told of a back exit through a tacky tourist shop on Oxford Street

And he decided to leave slightly early to avoid the paparazzi before the evening wrapped up.
On first sight it appeared Cruise had been shopping in the tacky shop during a late night spree.
But it has since emerged he was in fact told about the sneaky way out.

Making his getaway: Cruise was in London especially to support 17-year-old Connor at his first DJ gig outside of America and left early through the sneaky exit

Home time! He let his hair down in a nightclub before getting a taxi back to his hotel, looking happier than he has been

Cruise, 50, was told he could go through the back of Chinawhite and inconspicuously step out through the door of a tourist shop on a different street to where the entrance for the club is.
He was seen smiling as he made his exit, avoiding the majority of the paparazzi patiently waiting for his big appearance at the entrance to the club.
Looking smart casual in jeans, black jumper and jacket with his trademark aviator shades, it's the happiest he's looked in a while.

Successful night: Connor played his first ever UK gig and left the venue ready to fly to Zurich for his next set on his father's jet

The star, who officially divorced wife Katie Holmes this week, had obviously enjoyed spending time with his son - as well as his 19-year-old daughter Isabella who was seen exiting with Connor in a taxi at the end of the night.
Although his presence during the special slot at the exclusive Chinawhite venue was actually required as Connor is a minor and needed him there.

During the evening Tom ensured the DJ booth was stripped of all alcohol and strictly controlled what came in and out.

It was the first gig Connor has played in the UK to date and to honour his first set outside of America he played hits from British artists including Example and Fatboy Slim.
He will now move on to Zurich in Switzerland as he continues his European tour.
Connor was seen leaving Chinawaite with his sister and pals as they jumped in a cab ready to be whisked away in his father's jet for the next set.
