LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Burning down their year-long friendship, Tom Cruise has reportedly been shunning old pal Will Smith following his assault on Chris Rock at the 94th Oscars ceremony on March 27. The ‘Pursuit of Happiness’ star walked onstage during the ceremony and slapped the comedian across the face for making a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head.

A source close to the ‘Top Gun’ actor revealed that he has been avoiding answering Smith’s requests to meet in person since the incident. "Will has approached Tom several times, trying to reconnect and see if they can hang out and brainstrom on some projects together," the source told Radar Online. "A solid movie with Tom would guarantee Will's comeback, or so he thinks. Will has even offered to fly to London if that's more convenient, but Tom isn't biting and doesn't even write him back."
