In her memoir, Worthy, the 52-year-old shed some light on her decades-long friendship with Tom Cruise. While it came as no surprise that Cruise loved his dirt bikes, the author’s love for motorcycles had never been brought up before. In the memoir, she said that the two stars had “made a plan to ride on his dirt bike track.” While the time they spent riding bikes was fun, there was one small mishap that changed the vibe of the hangout.

After a bit of fun, Jada ended up being “thrown from the bike” and hit her head pretty hard. Seeing her fall, Tom Cruise rushed in to help her up. He asked her to “stop for the day,” but the Red Table Talk host had her own plans. She told him that she wanted to get back on the bike and do another lap because if she did not, she might “never get on a bike again.” Not only did the relentlessness help to bring a smile to the actor’s face, but Jada Pinkett Smith revealed that it also helped her get over her fears.
