Fans go wild over awkward photo of Ana de Armas and Nicole Kidman together - as Bond Girl's romance with Australian actress' ex husband Tom Cruise is 'confirmed'
Ana, 38, and the Top Gun star, 63, finally confirmed their romance this week after months of rumours when they were spotted holding hands during a picturesque getaway in Vermont.
The outing came shortly after Ana was branded 'ageist' for liking a post about Tom Cruise's ex-wife, actress Nicole Kidman, 58.
In its wake, a very awkward photo of the pair from over two years ago has begun circulating online - long before the romance between Tom and Ana came to light.
The picture shows the stars chatting with fellow actress Jamie Lee Curtis and Nicole's husband, Keith Urban, in their seats at the 95th Academy Awards back in 2023.
While Nicole was all smiles and engaged in the conversation, Knives Out actress Ana was seen averting the Australian star's gaze.
The resurfaced snap was posted by an Ana de Armas fan page that has turned on the star after the Cruise romance and social media gaffe.
'#WeStandwithNicole,' the picture was captioned on X, which ignited a heated debate among fans.
'This is her first wrong move, right??' one user replied.
'She definitely messed up, however, I do love gossip, so I wonder if this is really a one-sided beef or if she is aware (of) something Nicole said about her and it led her to be petty and do this,' a second speculated.
'Nicole is 10 times the artist, actress and woman than she is,' another remarked.
But not everyone was convinced there was any hostility between Ana and Nicole.
'All this drama over a fact she liked one pic? Get a life,' one woman snapped.
'If she liked (a) post about a man with Botox, you would not be so p***ed, right?' someone added.
The Cuban actress sparked backlash for liking a post about Nicole Kidman's appearance, which fans branded 'ageist'.
Ana liked a post that criticised the Moulin Rouge star's denial of cosmetic procedures.
'When you keep it real #nicolekidman,' the post was captioned, showing the actress up close while tagging a dermal filler brand as the location.
The Instagram post, which was originally shared on the page Celeb Mess, was reposted to Reddit to show Ana's interaction with it - and fans took to the comments section to call her out.
'Lol, let's see what she looks like at almost 60,' one person wrote about Ana.
Another person responded to the comment, saying: 'It fascinates me when people in their 20s and 30s are rude about people ageing. Like where do you think you're headed? And do you know what the alternative to aging is?'
One fan pointed out that Nicole dated Ana's alleged beau too, writing: ' Dating a senior Tom Cruise when Nicole is free... but sure Ana, you're the winner here lmao.'
'Having a one sided internet beef with your boyfriend's wife from 20 years ago this openly is just absurd lol,' another wrote.
One Reddit user took aim at Ana's acting talent, writing: 'Looks fade, talent doesn't. Nicole's had a 40 year career. Let's see where Ana's is in 10.'
'Nicole Kidman has more talent, beauty, and grace than she ever will have,' another penned.
Over the years, Nicole's age-reversing appearance has sparked rumours she's had cosmetic surgery performed on her face.

But the Australian actress, who has continuously denied undergoing any surgery, credits healthy lifestyle choices as they secret behind her tight, youthful complexion.
'To be honest, I am completely natural', she told Marie Claire in 2007.
Aside from shocking fans with her smooth, wrinkle-free appearance, Nicole has pulled off many hairstyles to make her look years younger.
She recently embraced her natural self as she displayed her curly locks - following a disastrous wig fail during the Cannes Film Festival.
Just this month, Ana has been spotted multiple times with the Mission Impossible star, being snapped on a yacht in Menorca with Cruise, as well as disembarking his helicopter together along with her beloved dogs.
The couple first sparked romance rumours on Valentine's Day this year, when they were spotted for what was reportedly a professional dinner in London.
The following month, they were pictured with cheeky smiles on both of their faces after their flight landed at the London Heliport.
They have been friends ever since they co-starred in the 2019 movie Wasp Network.
In mid-May, an insider spoke about how Tom is 'super smitten' with Ana even though it is still early in their romance.
They are co-starring in Doug Liman's supernatural thriller Deeper.
On GMA in May, the actress said: 'It's so much fun. We're definitely working on a lot of things. Not just one, but a few projects with [filmmakers] Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie and, of course, Tom. And I'm so excited.'

Dave Franco breaks silence on Luigi Mangione biopic rumors after fans begged for star to play alleged assassin
Dave Franco has finally revealed whether he would play alleged CEO killer Luigi Mangione onscreen - after fans went wild over their resemblance to one another. Mangione is accused of murdering United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a 50-year-old father-of-two, outside a Manhattan hotel while he was attending a work conference on December 4, 2024. He has pleaded not guilty to both state and federal charges in connection with the December murder. When the 'anti-capitalist' Ivy League student was first detained by police last year, fans began pointing out that he and Franco, 40, were 'practically twins' - and speculated prolific television writer Ryan Murphy would create a series based on him. Appearing on Watch What Happens Live! on Tuesday, Franco said of the possibility of portraying Mangione: 'Oh, how do I answer this?' 'No one has approached me about it yet, I'll say that. This is something that more people in my life reached out about this exact thing than anything else that has ever happened. Dave Franco has finally revealed whether he would play alleged CEO killer Luigi Mangione (R) onscreen - after fans went wild over their resemblance to one another Thompson's murder was captured on a chilling video 'Let's just say I'm open if the right people… and let's just leave it at that.' Amid the manhunt for the shooter, fans had taken to X to quip that Franco should be in line to play him. One said: 'Dave Franco pick up the phone.' Another posted: 'Dave Franco has a role waiting for him once this inevitably becomes a movie.' A third wrote: 'Ryan Murphy is drafting an email to Dave Franco as we speak.' 'Dave Franco's agent has been on the phone all morning,' a fourth added. Mangione was recently granted a major perk behind bars as he awaits trial. He has been given access to a laptop to use in jail in preparation of the murder trial. The laptop will be 'prepared by the government' and handed over to Mangione seven days a week, for use between 8am and 4pm, the NY Post reported. When the 'anti-capitalist' Ivy League student was detained by police days later - fans began pointing out that he and Franco, 40, were 'practically twins' - Mangione pictured in February 2025 Appearing on Watch What Happens Live! on Tuesday, Franco said of the possibility of portraying Mangione: ' Oh, how do I answer this?' 'Let's just say I'm open if the right people… and let's just leave it at that' Mangione was taken into custody after a McDonald's employee in Altoona spotted him in December U.S. District Judge Margaret M. Garnett signed an order on Monday demanding the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn begin preparations to secure the laptop. Mangione's attorneys, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, Marc Agnifilo and Jacob Kaplan, told the judge the letter would allow Mangione to 'adequately prepare for trial and assist in his own defense.' But the laptop will be disabled from accessing the internet or any wireless networks, Mangione's attorneys revealed. It will be set up with case-related documents and videos provided to Mangione's defense by the government. A red diary found in Mangione's possession when he was arrested at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, at the end of a five-day manhunt, have offered insight into his alleged motive. The diary documented Mangione's musings on what Unabomber Ted Kaczynski got wrong during his reign of terror between 1978 and 1995, according to court filings. In one entry from August 15, 2024, Mangione writes that he is 'confident' about his plan - four months before the shooting took place - and that he believes it to be 'right/justified.' 'I finally feel confident about what I will do. The details are coming together. And I don't feel any doubt about whether it's right/justified,' his scrawling writing reads. 'I'm glad-in a way-that I've procrastinated bc [sic] it allowed me to learn more about UHC [UnitedHealthcare].' 'The target is insurance. It checks every box.' The execution of Thompson in the street was captured on chilling surveillance footage In another diary entry dated two months later on October 10 2024, Mangione allegedly marks a countdown to the day of the attack: '1.5 months.' In the rambling diary entry, Mangione goes on to refer to those in the healthcare industry as 'parasites' and 'mafioso' and describes UnitedHealthcare's December conference as a 'true windfall' that 'embodies everything wrong with our health system.' If Mangione is convicted, federal prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty.

Trump reveals his bizarre theory on why Howard Stern could be cancelled
President Donald Trump gave his take on why longtime radio show host Howard Stern may be facing cancellation. The Sun reported Wednesday that Stern's SiriusXM show will end after the shock jock's current contract is up. The Daily Mail previously reported that Stern had been in 'very serious negotiations' with SiriusXM about whether he would be able to extend his $500 million contract, which ends at the end of the year. 'Howard Stern is a name I haven't heard - I used to do his show, we used to have fun - but I haven't heard that name in a long time,' Trump told reporters Wednesday in the Oval Office. 'What happened he got terminated?' the president asked. Stern has not yet been terminated, but that didn't stop Trump. 'You know when he went down? You know when he went down?' Trump then said. 'When he endorsed Hillary Clinton, he lost his audience. People said, get me a break. He went down when he endorsed Hillary Clinton.' Clinton was Trump's 2016 opponent. Stern also had Trump's 2024 rival, Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, on his show last year. Trump also continued to chime in on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert's cancellation. Colbert and the Late Show will both end in May. 'Colbert has no talent,' Trump said in the Oval on Wednesday. 'I mean, I could take anybody here. I could go outside to the beautiful streets and pick a couple of people that do just as well or better. They get higher ratings than he did. He's got no talent,' the president continued. 'Fallon has no talent. Kimmel has no talent. They're next,' Trump added, name-dropping the other late night hosts. 'They're going to be going, I hear they're going to be going.' This week Trump did decide that he liked one prominent figure in pop culture - actress Sydney Sweeney. On Sunday, the Daily Mail asked Trump for reaction after Sweeney was outed as a registered Republican. Trump loved it. 'She's a registered Republican?' the president said with interest on the tarmac of the Lehigh Valley International Airport outside of Allentown, Pennsylvania. Trump was heading back to Washington after spending the weekend at his Bedminster, New Jersey golf resort. 'You'd be surprised at how many people are Republican. That's one I wouldn't have known, but I'm glad you told me that,' he continued. 'If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic.' Since then, he posted on Truth Social sharing his support for the actress - and the White House's social media account created a meme of Trump, shouting out from the West Wing's rooftop, which he visited Wednesday. 'Have you seen the Sydney Sweeney ad?' the post said.
