Hollywood couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are keen on appearing in a reality TV series inspired by The Osbournes to prove to the world that their family is "normal".

Tom has reportedly been shooting a video of his wife and their four-year-old daughter Suri. He plans to make the footage public to show what life is really like in the Cruise household.

The 48-year-old actor actor wants to attest that his family, who follows controversial sci-fi faith Scientology, does not have a weird lifestyle.

"They want to portray themselves as a normal family who do normal things," an insider told Britain's Grazia magazine.

"They are aware that Katie is being perceived as 'brainwashed' and they want to change that."

Tom, who married Katie in November 2006, got the idea to start filming his family after making online clips with his Knight and Day co-star Cameron Diaz to promote their new film.

While he initially intended to release the videos as mini-clips on the Internet for his loyal fans, the actor has now received several offers to turn the footage into a full series.

"His interest began when he made spoof films with Cameron to promote Knight and Day," said the source.

"He's been filming Kate and other aspects of their life for the past month. The original impetus was that he would select a few personal clips to show fans, but word has got out through his agents (CAA) and he is currently fielding offers from entertainment companies. Tom is now deliberating what to do with his footage. No deal has been struck yet."
