Cruise congratulates 'copycat' Pitt

Tom Cruise has sent a congratulations card to fellow new dad Brad Pitt - branding him a copycat.

Cruise, who appeared alongside Pitt in Interview With The Vampire, has playfully accused the parent of Shiloh Nouvel of starting a family so he can keep up with his former co-star's new life with Katie Holmes and daughter Suri.

He writes: "Congratulations! You're doing a fine job following in my footsteps!"

Cruise also sent the two-week-old a stuffed toy.

Suri was born in April.
