It’s not impossible for Tom Cruise to be a fan of Ana de Armas.
In fact, the Mission: Impossible star had nothing but praise for the actress’ upcoming action flick Ballerina.
“I just saw the movie,” Tom told TikToker Javier Ibarreche at the London premiere of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning May 15. “It just kicks ass!”
The 62-year-old went on to gush about how the John Wick spinoff was “right in that tone” of his favorite thrillers, adding that he “loved” the film.
Likewise, Ana is a huge fan of Tom, recently noting that the two are collaborating on “a few projects together.”
“It’s so much fun, and we’re definitely working on a lot of things,” the 37-year-old teased during a May 15 appearance on Good Morning America. “Not just one but a few projects with Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie and, of course, Tom. And I’m so excited.”
As for their offscreen chemistry? Tom and Ana sparked romance rumors over Valentine’s Day weekend in February, when they were spotted at a dinner in London.
In the following months, the pair were seen riding a helicopter together multiple times, including a flight piloted by Tom himself one day before Ana’s April 30 birthday.
Neither have publicly addressed the dating speculation, though Ana has admittedly been more reserved about sharing details about her personal life since her high-profile romance with Ben Affleck in 2020.
Describing the paparazzi attention she experienced during the relationship as “horrible,” the Knives Out alum told Elle in 2022, “That’s one of the reasons why I left L.A.”
“It became a little bit too much,” she continued. “There’s no escape. There’s no way out.”
And for Ana—who now lives in New York—she has no plans to seek out a bigger piece of the spotlight.
“I have never been someone that wants any attention that’s not about my work,” she told Variety in 2022. “So when the attention is not about my work, it is upsetting, and it feels disrespectful, and it feels inappropriate, and it feels dangerous and unsafe.”
But Tom is no stranger to being in the public eye, having been previously married to Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes. For a look at the actor through the years, keep reading…
