Ana de Armas Says She's ‘Obviously' Working With Tom Cruise Amid Dating Rumors
Ana de Armas recently spoke about her equation with Tom Cruise. The pair is working on a new project that includes Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie. Both Liman and McQuarrie have frequently collaborated with Cruise in several action films. McQuarrie is also the writer of Cruise's current film in theaters, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.
Ana de Armas has been often spotted with Tom Cruise in the past few months, but the actress says it is because the duo is working together. In a recent interview with Women's Wear Daily, Armas gushed about the extensive 'training' that she is currently participating in, thanks to the Mission Impossible thespian.
The 37-year-old Oscar-nominated actress revealed, 'Obviously, everyone knows I'm working with Tom Cruise. We're working on something with Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie, and those guys are unbelievable at everything they do.'
Armas teased, 'I'm doing crazy training, as you do when you're working with Tom. It's another level that just keeps setting the bar higher and higher.' She further shared, 'But it's so much fun. And we're not only working on that thing that we're training for, but also a couple other things too.'
Additionally, sources close to the celebrities have reportedly said the duo 'appeared to have no romantic connection.' The duo were photographed together in February in London. At the time, a source told PEOPLE they grabbed dinner together along with their agents. The pair spent time 'discussing potential collaborations down the line.'
Meanwhile, Armas is also starring in a John Wick franchise film, Ballerina, which will hit the theaters on June 6, 2025. Aramas plays the role of Eve Macarro, a ballerina who has started an unconventional training following the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma.
As much as Ballerina is an action film, Armas says it is also about the character's emotional journey. The Blonde star explained in her WWD interview, 'As much action as there was on the page, I could see the heart too. The character has such a beautiful journey. The emotionality of the character is so important in the film, I was just like, 'oh, I have to do this.''

Dakota Johnson Reveals Her NSFW Sex Scene Pep Talk
Dakota Johnson doesn't have to do much to get in the mood for a sex scene, she revealed Tuesday, joking she's 'always psyched up for sex.' The Fifty Shades of Grey star was asked how she prepares herself for those scenes on the latest episode of Amy Poehler's Good Hang podcast. To the Saturday Night Live alum's surprise, Johnson said, 'Amy, I don't have to.' 'You're like, 7:30 a.m., 'Let's do it'?' Poehler asked, 'That's a lot.' Johnson, 35, insisted that yes, she just says, 'Let's go to pound town.' Johnson is best known for her breakout roles in the racy but critically-panned Fifty Shades movies, and Poehler was clearly expecting a different answer from the star. She explained her lax attitude like this: 'I think it depends on who is the character and who's the character supposed to be to the audience. Is she like a super idolized hot girl? Is she like a housewife? Is she lonely? Is she scared? Is she conservative? That's obviously character work, so certain prep would go into it.' She added, 'It's a sex scene, it's not sexy.' 'There are times when I've done a sex scene where I'm by myself because only I'm in the frame. So I'm just, like, gyrating on my own,' she said, 'Or like slamming myself into a headboard.' Poehler joked, 'And then on the other side of the camera is just a bunch of crew guys,' as Johnson added, 'with their heads down.' 'It's something that I feel brave with… when it's used the right way in a story,' Johnson said, explaining that she's just naturally comfortable in her own skin. She credits her mother, actress Melanie Griffith, for 'raising me to be really, really proud of my body and love my body. So I've always felt so grateful for that, especially in my work, because I can use it and it feels real.' Johnson's father is veteran actor Don Johnson. As for whether or not her films themselves work on the whole, Johnson told Poehler she's 'not going to f---ing cry' about that. Days after she declared the flop of her Marvel film Madame Web 'was not my fault' and pointed the finger at executives who 'who don't have a creative bone in their body,' she had similar comments to Poehler about Fifty Shades of Grey. 'The movie is as good a version of it as it could be,' she said. 'I signed on to a script that was different than what we ended up shooting—written by a different person. Then you're attached. You signed a contract, so you're signed on to do it… with a different actor. It was like a different thing and then it all changed and I was just in it.' Even though Johnson has an easy attitude about filming sex scenes, she admitted she had to be 'brave' to do the film at the time. 'I just feel proud of myself,' she said. 'There were no intimacy coordinators then.'

Dakota Johnson Jokes She's 'Always Psyched' to Film Sex Scenes
Originally appeared on E! Online Dakota Johnson isn't blushing 50 shades of red over intimacy. The Materialists actor teased that she doesn't fully prepare to perform a sex scene, as she's become more comfortable filming them. 'I don't have to,' Dakota joked during her June 10 appearance on Amy Poehler's Good Hang podcast. 'I'm, like, always psyched up for sex.' In fact, the 35-year-old has a certain trick she uses to navigate those sensual moments. She studies her characters' background, which helps her interpret how they might approach sex in the film's plot. 'First, it depends on who the character is and who the character's supposed to be to the audience,' she continued. 'Is she like a super idolized hot girl? Is she a housewife? Is she lonely? Is she scared? Is she conservative? So that's obviously character work.' More from E! Online Aaron Rodgers Reveals He's Married Bachelorette Star Jenn Tran and DWTS' Sasha Farber Break Up After Less Than a Year of Dating Gilligan's Island Star Tina Louise Makes Rare Public Outing at 91 Though she has her own tactic, the Suspiria actor also credited her comfort around these scenes to her mom Melanie Griffith, who created a safe space for her to talk about sex growing up. 'My mom raised me to be really proud of my body and love my body,' Dakota—whose dad is actor Don Johnson—explained. 'I've always felt so grateful for that, especially in my work because I can use it and it feels real. It was the way she spoke about it with me. She talked to me about sex and how precious and important it is.' Dakota then reflected on the last sex scene she filmed 'a few months ago,' noting that experience was the 'first time' she's worked with an intimacy coordinator. And while she had a 'great' interaction with the coordinator, it dawned on her that she didn't have an on-set professional for her most intimate character: Anastasia Steele in the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy. 'There were no intimacy coordinators,' she explained, before noting the behind-the-scenes work in creating the first film—which was directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson—was a bit tough. 'I think the movie is as good a version as it could be. But it was challenging. I signed on to a script that was different than what we ended up shooting.' And with those changes being out of her control, the Fifty Shades Freed star toughed it out. 'You're attached, you signed a contract, signed on to do it with a different actor—and then it all changed,' she continued. 'I was so young, I think I turned 24 when we were shooting. But I'm proud of myself for being brave.'

Glen Powell's Ex Gigi Paris Breaks Silence on Sydney Sweeney Romance Rumors
Glen Powell's ex-girlfriend Gigi Paris spoke about her breakup with the actor for the first time. She appeared on the latest episode of Emma Klipstein's "Too Much" podcast. "What sucked was how it was handled," Paris said. "I felt like I was just fed to the dogs."Glen Powell's ex Gigi Paris is finally opening up about rumors the actor left her for Sydney Sweeney. On the latest episode of Emma Klipstein's "Too Much" podcast, Paris revealed how she really felt about the social media firestorm that led to the dissolution of her relationship with Powell. Paris explained that she and her ex were having "issues" about six months before their breakup in April 2023. News of their split broke after rumors circulated that Powell was dating his Anyone But You co-star. Paris said that Powell's response to the entire situation was ultimately the final straw. The model also shared that she first heard of Powell and Sweeney's rumored romance via social media. "I'm getting tagged over something he wrote on a photo and I screenshot it to him and said, 'Hey, the whole world is watching what you say so just like, proceed with caution. Please,'" Paris explained. "And that wasn't received well." "I just wanted respect, especially if it's gonna be public," She added of the ordeal. "Like, don't make an ass out of me. Don't make a fool out of someone you've been with for over three years talking about forever with. Just have some decency, you know?" Powell and Sweeney were photographed getting cozy on the set of the romantic comedy, which was shot in Australia. They also seemed lovey-dovey during Anything But You promotional events and red carpets. Powell later revealed that the pair's flirtatiousness was crafted as a marketing ploy. 'The two things that you have to sell a rom-com are fun and chemistry," he said in an interview with the New York Times. "Sydney and I have a ton of fun together, and we have a ton of effortless chemistry. That's people wanting what's on the screen off the screen, and sometimes you just have to lean into it a bit—and it worked wonderfully." As for Paris, she said that Powell's "work comes first" mentality made her "walk away." "What sucked was how it was handled," she said. "I felt like I was just fed to the dogs." Paris explained how she "flew halfway across the world" to confront Powell in Australia, and ended things with him after she wasn't allowed on the Anyone But You set. "He called and said, 'The producers and I have discussed that I think it's best that you don't come to that's when I hung up. And I was like, this motherfucker is done to me," Paris said. "That phone call really is what broke me. I thought we had hope, like, maybe when I got there that things would maybe get better," she shared. "But once I got that phone call, I just knew it was done. I had lost whoever that person was that I loved." Paris clarified that she doesn't know whether she was cheated on. "I have no confirmation of what actually happened," the model said. "I just know what my standards are. And for me, it just wasn't okay the way it was handled, period." Although Powell and Sweeney have been spotted together following the Euphoria star's recent split from fiancé Jonathan Davino, they are "definitely not together." Powell's mom told the Daily Mail in March that Sweeney is "just a friend." Read the original article on InStyle
