You understand how it’s: You’re along with your extraordinarily well-known, wealthy, profitable rumored boyfriend on an “intimate” little yacht vacation in Menorca, simply the 2 of you (and his various Scientologist disciples through Zoom, I assume), when immediately paparazzi encircle the vessel and discover what seems to be incontrovertible proof that the 2 of you’re a capital-T Factor. What do you do? If you happen to’re Ana de Armas, you say nothing, letting a “supply” inform the tabloids that you’re single and simply actually “centered” in your position reverse Tom Cruise in Doug Liman’s upcoming thriller movie Deeper. And but…the yacht images persist!
Setting apart the sheer hilarity of any luxury-yacht-based journey being referred to as intimate—oh, I’m positive!—I can’t cease questioning whether or not Cruise and de Armas might be, actually, courting. (Some mentally pore over questions of particle physics or 18th-century British historical past for work…I, personally, am fortunate sufficient to dedicate the lion’s share of my grey matter to celeb hookups. Sure, I’m fairly blessed!) Is Cruise simply an “incredible mentor” to de Armas, or is she “losing her patience” at having to cover her relationship with the 63-year-old motion star?
All this rumination brings me to a different key query, one I’ve had for years: Do girls truly discover Tom Cruise attractive? For some motive that I can’t fairly put my finger on (ahem, the aforementioned Scientology), I’m tempted to say no, however a number of the issues that make Cruise a less-than-traditional main man—similar to his peak, which is famously a modest 5 toes seven—are literally type of engaging once I contemplate them exterior of the context of his particular persona. Does the person wear lifts? Presumably-slash-probably. And but quick kings like Tom Holland and Jeremy Allen White are pulling their very own modest statures off with aplomb. (As a aspect observe, keep in mind when Nicole Kidman stated that she was happy to be able to wear heels again after her marriage to Cruise ended?)
Whereas I’d undoubtedly discover Cruise hotter if he embraced having taller girlfriends whom he might actually look as much as, there’s no arguing that he’s exceedingly well-preserved for a person in his 60s, to not point out a father of three youngsters whose ages vary from 19 (Suri) to 30 and 32 (Connor and Isabella, respectively). This isn’t about what I discover engaging, although; it’s about what de Armas values in a person. And if we are able to glean something from her prior relationships with the likes of Ben Affleck and stepson to the president of Cuba Manuel Anido Cuesta, it’s that she clearly likes a person who’s left his mark on the tradition ultimately or different. Who higher to fill her ex-boyfriends’ sneakers, then, than the star of as soon as and future High Guns?
