Ahead of the Friday, June 6 release of the Ana de Armas-starring film From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, Tom Cruise shared an image of himself posing in front of a promo poster for the movie positioned beside a Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning poster.
For the image, which was shared on his Instagram and X on Wednesday, June 4, Cruise, 62, posed alongside Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning director Christopher McQuarrie.
Cruise's film premiered in theaters on Friday, May 23, grossing $77 million domestically and $190 million worldwide. The live-action adaptation of Lilo & Stitch proved superior, grossing $183 million domestically, according to Box Office Mojo, and earning $341.7 million globally.

"Your mission, should you choose to accept it: a weekend of action on the big screen," he captioned his post.

"No other star openly endorses OTHER movies like Tom Cruise does. The man is truly someone who loves FILM," one fan wrote.
Another person who has applauded Cruise's support for the film is de Armas, 37, herself, who told Variety at its red-carpet premiere that his backing was "unbelievable."
"But you know what, he supports every movie. He really wants the industry and cinema to go well and people going to the theaters. We're working together, so he got to see Ballerina and he actually really liked it. He loved the John Wicks," de Armas told Variety.
De Armas and Cruise have been spotted spending time together in London multiple times since February and have upcoming projects together, the actress confirmed during a May 15 appearance on Good Morning America.
"We're definitely working on a lot of things. Not just one but a few projects with Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie and, of course, Tom. And I'm so excited," de Armas said in May.

Jessica Simpson Gets Emotional Over Lookalike Daughter Maxwell's Major Milestone
Where did time go? Jessica Simpson's eldest daughter Maxwell, 13, just celebrated a major milestone and mom is all in her feelings. Simpson celebrated Maxwell's graduation from the sixth grade on June 3 with a sweet mother-daughter Instagram selfie. The golden light of the day shined bright on the twinning family members. Simpson looked radiant with her long, blonde locks gently framing her face while Maxwell adorably made a funny face. More from SheKnows Why Malia Obama Quietly Dropped Her Last Name - And What Michelle Really Thinks About It 'Let the good times roll into the 7th grade my beautiful Maxwell Drew 🎓✨💛,' wrote the proud mom in the caption. Simpson, who shares Maxwell, son Ace, 11, and daughter Birdie, 6, with estranged husband Eric Johnson, often speaks about how motherhood shaped her adult life, especially when it comes to body image. 'Raising Maxwell makes me realize that I don't want her to see me beat myself up for things like food choices or numbers on a scale,' she told People in 2013. 'Those things don't determine who we are and instead make us feel terrible about ourselves I want her to know her value, rather than spending her energy fighting negative voices from within.' The 44-year-old singer praised her teen daughter for being 'a leader, a doer, a protector, a light, a determined force, a lover of life, a goofball, a treasure, a creative, a care bear, a trusted wise old soul' in a May 11 Mother's Day post. She continued, 'Maxwell is indeed a drama free intuitive feelin' empath. She is an inspiration to all who know her, follow her and confide in her.' Simpson revealed that her mother, Tina, treated Maxwell to a Parisian trip in honor of her 13th birthday on May 1. '3 generations 3 connected hearts 3 spirit-filled souls 3 women who smile, laugh, and shine brighter through it all ✨💛💛💛✨,' gushed the 'I Wanna Love You Forever' singer. 'It is official…I AM THE MOTHER OF A TEENAGER, and I LOVE IT.'

Miami contestant booted from ‘Love Island' amid online backlash. What we know
Yulissa Escobar did not get off to an auspicious start on Peacock dating show 'Love Island USA.' The bubbly Miami contestant was ousted during the second episode Wednesday night. What happened? Redditors unearthed old videos of Escobar dropping the n-word repeatedly on an old podcast discussing a past partner. Once those clips went viral, the 27-year-old's fate was apparently sealed. Viewers, who can vote on their fave pairings from the comfort of home, were introduced to Escobar last week. But this week, she vanished from Fiji (and TV screens) with narrator Iain Stirling announcing her departure midway through the show. 'Yulissa has left the villa,' Stirling said of the businesswoman who runs Aesthetic Events, a local mobile bar company. Peacock offered no explanation, nor did Escobar when the Miami Herald reached out to her for comment. But one of her recent Instagram posts, announcing she was joining the show, was telling, with critics flooding the comments. 'Can't wait to send you home.' 'Oh girl you'll be the first to go.' 'Don't get too comfortable.' In another promo clip, Escobar describes why she's a great catch. 'I'm here to find my knight in shining armor, I want that movie kind of love,' says the four foot 10 entrepreneur. 'I'm super fun ... like this bundle of joy that just came out of nowhere.'

In a video message shared on his Instagram Stories on Thursday, June 5, the 40-year-old Olympian thanked his friends and family who reached out after his estranged wife Kayla publicly shared her decision to "end" their marriage a day earlier. "Just wanna say thank you to everyone that wrote a message, reached out to me," Lochte said in his Stories, while in the car with his daughter Liv Rae and son Caiden Zane. "Just open arms. It means a lot to me. Yesterday was a rough day for me, but, like always in life, you've got to put one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward." Lochte continued, saying, "And thats what I'm doing. To my second family that sent me this beautiful card, and a basket full of candy that now my son is eating," before Caiden jumped into the video to show a box of Whoppers. "Thank you guys, I love you guys." Lochte said before ending his video. The swimmer added, "Love y'all," in text over the video. Kayla, who shares Caiden, who turns 8 on June 8, as well as daughters Liv Rae (who turns 6 on June 17) and Georgia June, (who turns 2 on June 22) with Lochte, confirmed she's divorcing her husband of seven years in an Instagram post on Wednesday, June 4. 'Earlier this year, I made the hard decision to end my marriage after deep prayer and reflection,' Kayla began in her statement. 'I hold marriage in the highest regard, so this has been one of the most painful, revealing, and challenging seasons of my life. I've been hesitant to share until I could do so from a place of healing — not from fresh, open wounds.' Kayla said she wants to continue "living with transparency and authenticity," but also noted that she wants to protect "the parts of this journey that are private and unfolding in uncharted territory.' Court records obtained by PEOPLE show that Kayla filed for divorce on March 26. Lochte addressed the split after Kayla shared her post on Instagram, writing, 'I want to take a moment to acknowledge what Kayla shared. This past year has brought major changes for both of us as we've come to the difficult decision to end our marriage. I'm deeply grateful for the life we've built together and especially for the love we share for our three children."
