Katie’s joy: The man making her smile again

The actress’s down-to-earth co-star has her beaming from ear to ear.

Katie Holmes finally has reason to smile again — and it’s all due to her fun new leading man and an exciting job out of her husband’s shadow.

After weeks of appearing worn down by her high-flying life with megastar Tom Cruise, our exclusive pictures show the 30-year-old brunette appears to be well and truly out of the doldrums and vibrant once again.

Bringing back memories of the fresh-faced beauty who first caught Tom’s eye, a relaxed Katie has been lighting up the set of her new film The Extra Man in New York. She’s often seen laughing and joking with friends, including her attractive co-star Alex Burns, and is said to be overjoyed to be back at work and doing what she loves best after accompanying Tom around the world on a hectic tour to promote his film Valkyrie.

While shooting outside the famed Russian Tea Room in Manhattan, the on-set chemistry between Katie and colleague Alex, 31, was obvious, as the up-and-coming actor put his arm around her in a chivalrous bid to shield her from the cold winter chill.
