And since missing one of the most important days of her life — the first day of school at private NYC school Avenues — many close to Katie Holmes are baffled and worried for the 6-year-old.
“He has the means. He could have flown to NYC for one day to see Suri off to school,” a family friend of Katie’s tells the new issue of In Touch, on newsstands now. “It was selfish. He was out having a good time.”
Attorneys say the actor has been busy working in London, where he’s been on location shooting a new movie, All You Need Is Kill.
Tom — who didn’t fight Katie for custody of Suri after his wife of five years blindsided him with the divorce in June — was spotted drinking beer with a group of pals at the Swan pub just days before his daughter’s first day in school. “He was laughing and talking a lot to everyone like he didn’t have a care in the world,” an onlooker tells the mag.
“No one is surprised he wasn’t there for Suri. He has a way of shutting everyone out when he’s focusing on work,” another insider adds.
