PARIS, Aug 30 (AFP) - Hollywood star Tom Cruise took a break Monday from promoting his latest film "Collateral" in Paris to meet with French Finance Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, the ministry announced.
Cruise had requested the meeting after reading about Sarkozy in the US media, and arrived at the riverside ministry by boat, aides to the outspoken minister said.
The two discussed Franco-American relations and other "various" subjects for 90 minutes, the ministry said. At the end of the informal chat, Cruise invited Sarkozy to visit his ranch in the western US state of Colorado.
Earlier in the day, Cruise told a press conference at the Ritz hotel that he loved his job and wished he could make more movies.
