Connor & Tom Cruise -- He's the DJ, I'm the Father

Tom Cruise played the role of proud papa like a champ last night, rolling to a Hollywood club to check out his son Connor spin.

The Cruise boys were at Hyde Sunset where Connor was DJing as part of his residency with sbe Entertainment. We're told Tom strolled in with a few friends and just one security guard and took the table closest to the DJ booth.

Our spies say Tom only drank sparkling water all night and was in a great mood the whole time, being super courteous to the staff and everyone around him.
