Cameron Diaz is an incredible comedian, says Tom Cruise

Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise says his Knight and Day co-star Cameron Diaz is the most incredible comedian he has ever met.

The 47-year-old actor was also thrilled to work with his "great friend" Cameron, who he previously starred in 2002's Vanilla Sky with, again, Contactmusic reported.

"I haven't worked with her since Vanilla Sky, she's just wonderful to work with, an incredible comedian," Cruise said.

Cruise was joined by wife Katie Holmes and Diaz at the Spanish premiere of his latest film Knight and Day last night.

The actor admits he always puts storytelling at the forefront of his priorities when choosing a film role, and is delighted with the results of his latest effort, Knight and Day.

"It's a real kind of wish fulfillment film. It's got a very unique tone. It was something I was really looking to do next. The most important thing to me is entertaining the audience, and it always has been.

I've worked since I was eight years old and I saved money to go to the movies, so to have that opportunity. I just consider myself a student of film, of storytelling. The film itself is the most important," Cruise said.

Much of the action movie was shot in Spain and Cruise, who was accompanied to the premiere by wife Katie Holmes, was glad to be able to share his free time in the country with his spouse and their four-year-old daughter Suri.

"What we do is just hang out. In between, when we had the break, we just hang out. We like to walk around the city.

Suri loves it here also, so we just played around," Cruise added.
