Why Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas Are Really Spending So Much Time Together
Actors Ana de Armas and Tom Cruise have been seen out together on several occasions over the past few months, most recently in London at David Beckham’s 50th birthday party, followed by dinner at Core in Notting Hill. The appearances have led to rumors that the pair might be dating, but a source told Page Six that the night seemed to be platonic.
The eyewitness stated that the pair “had a blast” that night, adding that “they came together and had a great night and clearly enjoy hanging out. But I couldn’t say any more than that … I’ve no proof it’s romantic.”
Another source stated that Cruise and de Armas have more of a professional relationship and friendship. The actress’s newest film Ballerina, set in the same world as John Wick, was heavy on stunts. Stunts are kind of Cruise’s thing, and he is also about to release his new action-packed film, Mission: Impossible The Final Reckoning.
“I’m sure if they’re friends he’s mentored her. I’m sure she’s called him for advice,” the source claimed. “I’m sure they conversed on [things like] ‘this is how the stunt guys do it.’ I’m sure he gives her a lot of tips—he’s a legend in the stunt world.”
The source added that de Armas has been very committed to her work on the set of Ballerina, especially fight choreography.
“She’s awesome. She works hard. She’s very well thought out. She’ll call you on your BS. She always double checks. Why are we doing this? How does it really work in real life? She’s very inquisitive about everything we’re doing,” they said. “She’s really fun. She wants to do a good job. She does a lot of her own fights.”
De Armas and Cruise were seen in February, again in London. However, a source told People that the connection was about “potential collaborations down the line.” In late April, they enjoyed a helicopter ride with Cruise at the wheel. In early May, they were spotted together again on de Armas’s birthday walking through a London park. But neither star has spoken publicly about a potential relationship.
