Simon says Tom is "very fun" and "kind of vulnerable".
Speaking to E! Online, the actor revealed: "I love Tom. I love working with him because he's a really interesting person. I feel really privileged to get to see the real man, you know?
"There's a lot of mythology about him, a lot of speculation about the kind of myth that surrounds him that people are very keen to believe."
The pair starred alongside each other in Mission: Impossible 5.
"When you actually meet the man himself, he's different. He's far more human. He's very fun. He's kind of vulnerable, and he's a human being, and it's great to see.
"But he can also be Tom Cruise when he wants to be. I say to him, I say, 'Do Tom Cruise.' And puts his sunglasses on and smiles. 'There's Tom Cruise!' And he knows it! It's a brilliant capacity to have."
The star is reportedly dating his assistant, Emily.
Simon's comments come amid reports that Tom "banished" his niece from the family after "making out" with a boy.
In a YouTube video uploaded by scientologist Nick Lister, the Cocktail actor is accused of sending his niece across the country to Missouri and keeping her from family functions.Explore more on these topics:
