Ana de Armas was dating the Cuban president's stepson. Her status has changed
For those keeping track of Ana de Armas' love life, there's an update. Last November, the 'Knives Out' star raised eyebrows when she was first linked to Manuel Anido Cuesta after they were photographed looking cozy on a street in Madrid, Spain. What was the issue? The 27-year-old lawyer's mother, Lis Cuesta Peraza, is married to Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, the first leader outside the Castro family to govern the island country in decades. But mere weeks later, de Armas, who was born in Havana, was photographed in London with someone completely different: The biggest action star on the planet, Tom Cruise. Rumor had it the two were just friends and discussing future collaborations on screen. But that was then and this is now. Apparently, Cruise, 63, and de Armas, 37 — who will begin shooting an underwater thriller called 'Deeper' soon in London, where the Hollywood icon has a place — are collaborating off screen as well. New pictures of the pair taken by paps showing them walking hand in hand in the quaint, small town of Woodstock, Vermont, where the actress lives. TMZ reports they did couple-ish things like shopping and getting ice cream. According to de Armas left Los Angeles for a quieter, off the grid life in the Green Mountain State after constantly being stalked by photographers during her COVID-lockdown relationship with Ben Affleck. She bought her rural retreat for $7.2 million in November 2022. This relationship is definitely on the long distance side. Cruise maintains a home in London, where he was spotted with de Armas at an Oasis concert at Wembley Stadium. Nope, no clinches were snagged on the Kiss Cam. The 'Mission Impossible' stud also has a penthouse pad in Clearwater, near Scientology headquarters, so there's a possibility of an eventual Florida sighting. Once the temperatures get a little cooler and the hurricanes are behind us, maybe. Not that Ethan Hunt can't handle extreme weather conditions. So what happened with Anido Cuesta? As per UsWeekly, the political advisor and de Armas were officially finito as of May. Meaning Cruise and his bae have been officially dating for about two months. 'It's low-key, still new and in the early stages,' a source confirmed to the outlet. 'Their romance is definitely on the down low.'

10 years later, Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation is the funnest movie in the saga
The Mission: Impossible franchise might be over for good. After eight movies and almost 30 years, it feels like the kind of franchise that's difficult to summarize. It was different things at different times, and that's precisely what made it so interesting. 10 years ago, the franchise made its most significant pivot with Mission: Impossible —Rogue Nation. This was the first of four films that Christopher McQuarrie would direct. It signaled a change in how much of the cast from one movie might show up in the next. Even more importantly, Rogue Nation is the most fun film in the entire franchise. It might even be its best. Here's what makes it so good. Rebecca Ferguson, Rebecca Ferguson, Rebecca Ferguson Never has a star emerged more fully formed than Rebecca Ferguson does in this movie. Every Mission: Impossible had a female lead; some of them were quite good. Ferguson's Ilsa Faust was the first character who felt like Ethan Hunt's equal, maybe even his superior. Of course, it certainly didn't hurt that she served a much more central role in the plot than many of Ethan's other compatriots. Recommended Videos Because it's incredibly difficult to know for sure what side she's on from the moment she enters the movie, she's keeping both the audience and Ethan on their toes. These movies are at their best when Ferguson crushes her performance. There's a reason she's become the queen of science fiction in the years since. It has one of the most impressive sequences in the franchise When you think of great Mission: Impossible sequences, you likely think of Tom Cruise climbing the Burj Khalifa or hanging off a biplane. What's remarkable about Rogue Nation, though, is that while it has a couple of remarkable sequences (including an invigorating motorcycle chase), the movie's most memorable set piece is constructed like a ramped-up Hitchcock thriller. The opera house sequence, where we meet Ilsa for the first time, is told from multiple competing points of view as you begin to realize all the different players involved in the scene and all the divergent reasons that they've descended on the same location. The fact that it builds to something comprehensible feels like a miracle in and of itself. This sequence is the best one in a movie filled with impressive scenes. It was a clear signal that McQuarrie would be bringing something distinct to the table. Rogue Nation might have the best ensemble cast Even if you set aside Ferguson (which this franchise learned you should never do), Rogue Nation might still have the most complete ensemble cast. Simon Pegg and Ving Rhames are part of every late-stage movie, but they're both excellent here, and they're joined by Jeremy Renner's Brandt and Alec Baldwin's CIA director. That cast has no weak links and makes for a movie where every character is fun to watch. Everyone plays well off of each other. Renner, in particular, is great in his two installments, making you wish that he was a part of the rest of the franchise. It lets Tom Cruise be funny Ethan Hunt is a difficult character to read partially because he represents a stand-in for Cruise. In Rogue Nation, we get the chance to see Cruise exercise his comedic chops, which is often when these movies are at their best. There's a moment where Cruise tries and fails to jump over the hood of the car. It's a reminder that Cruise wants to entertain above all else. He wants to look cool, sure, but he also loves Chaplin and Keaton and knows when to design a stunt so that he looks amazing and when to design one so that he looks like an utter fool. It's the first movie that seems to have an idea of what these movies are about First and foremost, every installment in the Mission: Impossible franchise is designed to entertain. These are blockbusters through and through, meaning their ultimate goal is to be exciting and worth the price of admission. Rogue Nation, though, begins to tease out another idea at the core of these movies. The finale of Rogue Nation forces Ethan to make a choice. The film's villain, Solomon Lane, has kidnapped Pegg's Benji, and Ethan has to either turn over data that will allow Lane to fund his terrorist activities or let his teammate and friend die. For all of the physical dominance that Cruise asserts as Ethan Hunt, these are the impossible missions at the center of these movies. Over and over again, Ethan is given a choice between saving one life and saving everyone, and over and over, he refuses to make that choice. Instead, he does things that are truly impossible. In this case, that involves memorizing a long string of numbers so that Solomon cannot make him turn over anything. Ethan becomes the desirable object, changing Lane's calculation. This incomprehensible feat is all internal, and all Cruise can do is use a steely glare to convince you that he's memorized hundreds of digits. What's crucial, though, is that you believe that Ethan would do it if it meant saving a life. This notion, that Ethan refuses to sacrifice anyone, is core to the rest of the Mission: Impossible franchise, even if it's never particularly heavy-handed. This idea starts in earnest in Rogue Nation, which weaves together all the fun of this franchise with a design that feels just a little bit weighty. You can watch Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation on Paramount Plus.

Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas seemingly confirm romance after months of speculation
Things are heating up between Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas. On July 26, the "Mission: Impossible" star, 63, and the Golden Globe-nominated actress, 37, were seen holding hands while on a casual stroll in Vernont. After months of dating speculation, the outing seems to confirm the pair's budding romance. Representatives for Cruise and de Armas did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. The rumored couple were first seen together in London in February and have been spotted together several times since, including on her birthday in April and at David Beckham's birthday party in May. In a photo and video captured by a bystander and shared on X of the April birthday stroll, Cruise walked next to de Armas with his hands behind his back. The pair were accompanied by another woman as well as security guards. In May, Cruise praised de Armas' acting abilities. At the New York City premiere of "Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning," Cruise told Access Hollywood, "Her ability is incredible. There's an actress that has dramatic chops, someone who's comedic, very, very talented. You see her in 'Ballerina' ... just a great actress." Weeks later, at the June 3 premiere of "Ballerina," de Armas told Variety that Cruise has been "unbelievable" and "really amazing" when it comes to supporting her endeavors. "But you know what, he supports every movie. He really wants the industry and cinema to go well and people going to the theaters," de Armas said. "We're working together, so he got to see 'Ballerina' and he actually really liked it." She added, "It is very special that someone like him is supporting ['Ballerina']. It is really special in general to have other actors and people supporting each other. We can do well all together." On July 18, a source told People that the actors share a "special work relationship" as they prepare to film a movie together. "Tom is crazy hardworking, and she's very excited to work with him. She calls it an opportunity of a lifetime," the insider said. "Tom is an incredible mentor to Ana. She has nothing but amazing things to say about him."
