Los Angeles, Mar 29: Hollywood megastar Tom Cruise is reportedly captivated by actress Ana de Armas, with sources claiming her “mischievous charm” and fearless attitude remind him of his exes Nicole Kidman and Penélope Cruz.
Speculation about a possible romance between the two intensified after they were spotted dining together on the eve of Valentine’s Day in 2025. Reports suggest Cruise, 61, is eager to work with de Armas, 36, who has collaborated with several of his Hollywood rivals in recent years.
“Ana has that personality quirk she doesn’t care what people think, just like Nicole and Penélope,” an insider told US Sun. “She also has a way of making people feel included in her humour, which draws Tom in even more.”
The Knives Out star, originally from Cuba, has built an impressive career in Hollywood with roles in Blade Runner 2049, No Time to Die, and Ghosted. While she was linked to Manuel Anido Cuesta, stepson of Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, her current relationship status remains unclear.
Reports suggest Cruise has been making extra efforts to impress de Armas, both personally and professionally. “Tom’s pushing the idea of them working together he thinks she’s extremely talented,” a source told In Touch Weekly.
While de Armas reportedly enjoys the attention, insiders say she’s keeping her options open. “She’s allowing herself to be wooed,” the source added. “Anyone who sees them together would agree they’d have great chemistry on screen.”
