According to The Boston Herald, a source said: "They were having the best time dancing, holding hands together in the air and looked genuinely happy together.

"He and Cameron Diaz are filming in Worcester which is about 50k west of Boston and he came especially for the concert."

The source added: "Cameron Diaz was dancing the entire time, turning around to laugh and smile at Tom and Katie.

"And when Bono asked the crowd to take out their cellphones to create light, even Cameron took out her BlackBerry."

Cruise and Bono have been friends ever since the actor presented the U2 frontman with a Musicare award in 2002. Speaking about Bono at the time, he said: "He makes us all proud to be human."

Actress Ashley Judd, who is studying for a degree at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard, was also there - on crutches.

After the concert she returned to Boston in time to party with Bono and The Edge at a private bash at the Revolution Rock Bar.

Snow Patrol, Sam Neill, Peter Wolf and DJ Mateo of the Fun Lovin' Criminals also rocked the Rock Bar with around 100 other guests.
