Regarding his new girlfriend Ana de Armas, whom he began dating in February, Tom Cruise has spoken out.
The 62-year-old movie star shared his thoughts on the brunette stunner who formerly dated his friend Ben Affleck with Extra on Sunday.
“Very talented, great dramatic actress, comedic, tremendous ability, learns quickly,” Cruise told the site.
This follows Ana, 37, revealing on Good Morning America that she will collaborate with Cruise on a number of projects.
One of the GMS hosts, Michael Strahan, brought up her connection to Cruise: “You’re working with another big star, Tom Cruise, on another project that will lead you to do more crazy stunts,” Strahan said after touting her Ballerina movie with Keanu Reeves.
“It’s so much fun,” Ana replied. “We’re definitely working on a lot of things.”
She added, “It’s not just one, but a few projects—with [directors] Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie and, of course, Tom.”
Flashing a big smile, she added, “And I’m so excited.”
DailyMail.com has learnt that Armas and Cruise have been growing serious in recent weeks, with one of his A-list ex-girlfriends even endorsing the improbable romance.
Penelope Cruz, a Spanish actress who dated Cruise from 2001 to 2004, is reportedly “happy” that her ex-boyfriend has found love again.
Since they costarred in the 2019 film WASP Network, Cruz, 51, and Armas have been pals.
“Ana has said that Penelope is happy for her, she approves,” an insider told the Daily Mail. “They know each other from the movie and also they have friends in common in Madrid from when Ana lived there for a while.”
“Tom makes Ana feel safe and that is very important to her,” the insider added.
“She was flipped out by the fans and stalkers when living in Venice Beach [Los Angeles] so she moved to a remote part of Vermont.”
Armas spent more than $7 million on a large six-bedroom house in the Green Mountain State in 2022.
“She loves being away from the crazy,” the source explained. “She has been traveling with Tom to busy cities like London, but he always makes her feel safe because he is thoughtful and he has a ton of security.”
“He never puts her at risk, she is completely taken care of when she is in his company.”
Our informant cites Armas’ ‘not like to party’ and preference for peaceful evenings at home, similar to her decades-old partner, as reasons why friends think the relationship could endure.
Though another source stressed that the pair are “taking it day by day” and that Armas “does not give her heart away easy.”
“Ana has a thing for older men and Tom fits the bill of her type. The proof is in the pudding. Being affectionate with someone is not something that Ana would do for a role,” the second source added.
