In his (rare) free time, Wilson finds relaxation in playing the saxophone and likes to collect vintage black-and-white photos of actors. He admires the work of Tom Hanks and Robert De Niro. At age 19, Cruz came out to his parents as gay, first to his mother and then his father. Initially shocked, his mother eventually accepted the news. His father, however, threw him out of the house and Cruz spent the next few months living in his car and at the homes of friends. He later reconciled with his father. Cruz is openly gay and supports LGBT and other gay rights causes.
