Gal Gadot doesn't make Tom Cruise's Christmas cake list

The Top Gun actor is renowned for his festive delivery of a sweet coconut treat, with various co-stars over the years expressing their delight at the annual gift, but the 41-year-old actress - who appeared in Tom's 2010 film Knight and Day - had never heard of the tradition.

Appearing on Armchair Expert, Gal was asked by the podcast's host, Dax Shepard: “Have you gotten a cake from him?”

The 41-year-old actress shook her head, prompting Dax to look at co-host Monica Padman and add: “Okay, maybe we shouldn’t have brought that up.

The trio laughed as the CHiPS actor explained Tom tends to gift the cake to "a large percentage" of the people he has worked with, but Gal insisted she didn't know the Mission: Impossible star that well.

She said: “I worked with him for one night. Tom, it’s fine! It’s okay, I can take it.”

But while the Runner actress continued to insist she didn't mind, Dax and Monica appealed to Tom to add the star to his gift list.

Dax, 51, admitted he had never received a cake himself but had enjoyed sampling the gift when a friend received one last year.

He said: "It's a fun thing in Hollywood, basically in your friendship circle the goal is to know someone who gets the cake and then go try it.

A host of stars have praised Tom's delicious Christmas cakes, including Michelle Monaghan, who was added to the recipient list after working with him on three Mission: Impossible films.

When asked if she gets a Tom Cruise cake, she told The Independent newspaper: "Of course I get the Tom Cruise cake. I get it every year and I love it. ... It’s annual and it’s so serious!

"It’s coconut and it comes with a little ornament on it, because it’s sent during the holidays. And it says, you know, ‘warm greetings, Tom Cruise’.

"And it is so moist, so dense, and just the most unbelievably delicious cake you’ve ever eaten in your life."

Kirsten Dunst has been on the Cruise cake list since starring alongside him as a child actress in the 1994 movie Interview with the Vampire.

During an appearance on The Graham Norton Show, she explained: "[Tom] gives me a cake every Christmas. We call it the Cruise cake at my house. It's the best coconut cake I've ever had in my life."
