According to Woman’s Day, Cruise has a “huge crush” on his co-star Atwell and “has enjoyed shooting scenes” where “she’s been required to hold him.”
An insider told the tabloid “Tom totally has a smile for her,” which is proven by the photos provided of Cruise smiling at her on set. The insider adds that Atwell is “stunning” and “makes Tom feel years younger.’
The tabloid doesn’t go so far as to say this is anything more than a crush, and that “Tom’s obviously in no rush to settle down” for the fourth time. He just “makes sure he always has some eye candy opposite him when he’s working.”
The door is open though, as the article clsoes by saying “one day one” of his co-stars “might be The One.”
Atwell is literally described as little more than “eye candy” by this article. There is no word in this story on if Atwell likes Cruise whatsoever. The bit about Cruise enjoying when “she’s been required to hold him” is especially gross because Atwell doesn’t have a choice in the matter.
The only actual evidence this tabloid can cook up is that Cruise “has a smile for her.” This is Tom Cruise we’re talking about. The two things he’s known for are running in movies and smiling a lot. Of course, he’s smiling at his co-star on set.
This story has nothing to go off of other than some photos of Cruise smiling while making a Mission: Impossible, which is less proof of a crush and more proof that he woke up that morning.
