She seems to like him! Tom Cruise (61) celebrated his big breakthrough in 1986 with the film Top Gun. With productions like “Rain Man” and the Mission: Impossible series, he became a sought-after Hollywood star. But negative headlines also accompanied the actor throughout his career. He has made himself unpopular, especially with his membership in the Scientology cult. But now someone steps into the breach for him: Tom’s co-star Hannah Waddingham (49) protects him!
During an appearance on the “James Martin Saturday Night Show”, the actress, who is currently in front of the camera with the screen hero for “Mission Impossible 8”, talks about her time with Tom on set. She only had positive experiences with the “The Mummy” actor. “He is without a doubt one of the most loving and encouraging, positive and inspiring people I have ever met,” enthuses Hannah. She couldn’t understand the criticism of the film star.
But things aren’t just going well for the “Eyes Wide Shut” actor at the professional level: Nicole Kidman’s ex (56) is also said to have already found happiness in his private life. Again and again he was flirting with the beautiful Russian woman Elsina Khayrova caught. And that’s not all. As an insider recently told Us Weekly, the dad-of-three is already thinking about the future: “Tom is very confident that it will work out in the long run.”
