Ana de Armas and Tom Cruise spotted together again, just a month after last sighting amid rumors
Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas were recently spotted together again in London, sparking further interest in their ongoing friendship.
The actors arrived at the London Heliport on Friday, March 14, via helicopter, both dressed casually for the outing. Cruise, 62, wore black jeans and a brown button-down shirt, while de Armas, 36, opted for a white tee, jeans, white sneakers, and a black trench coat.
The pair appeared in high spirits, engaging in friendly conversation with the Heliport staff. This sighting follows another at the same heliport the previous evening, Thursday, March 13. The actors were also photographed together in London last month, on February 13, when they were seen chatting with fans before getting into a taxi after dinner. At that time, sources noted that the two were dining with their agents to discuss potential professional collaborations, with no indication of a romantic relationship.
In a 2023 interview with USA Today, de Armas spoke highly of Cruise, particularly praising his stunt work, calling it "mind-blowing." She acknowledged the physical challenges of action films, stating that while she wasn't yet at Cruise's level, she enjoyed the rewarding and fun aspects of performing her own stunts.
Cruise, who is set to star in Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning set for release on May 23, has remained tight-lipped about whether the movie will mark the conclusion of his character Ethan Hunt's storyline, teasing that audiences will have to see the film to find out.

Lilo & Stitch' stays on top in third week
The Disney film beat the latest 'Mission: Impossible' and 'Ballerina'. PHOTO: File Disney's family-friendly Lilo & Stitch kept up its dominance of the early summer North American box office, winning for a third week in a row with $32.5 million in ticket sales, industry estimates showed Sunday, as reported by AFP. The live-action remake of a 2002 animated film of the same name has so far raked in $335.8 million in the United States and Canada, and another $436 million abroad, Exhibitor Relations said. Debuting in second place at $25 million was Lionsgate's Ballerina, a John Wick spin-off starring Ana de Armas as a dancer turned contract killer, and co-starring Anjelica Huston. Keanu Reeves makes a brief appearance as the hitman Wick. "This is a weak opening for an action thriller spin-off," said David A. Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning – the latest, and ostensibly last, in the hugely successful Tom Cruise spy thriller series based on a 1960s TV show – took third place with $15 million. The Paramount film has now grossed more than $449 million worldwide. In fourth place was Sony's Karate Kid: Legends, a sequel featuring Ralph Macchio - the star of the original 1984 classic - and action flick icon Jackie Chan, along with Ben Wang in the title role. It made $8.7 million at the domestic box office in its second week in theaters. And finishing up the top five was Warner Bros. and New Line's horror film Final Destination: Bloodlines, at $6.5 million. It has grossed $123.6 million so far at the domestic box office. Rounding out the top 10 were: The Phoenician Scheme ($6.25 million), Bring Her Back ($3.5 million), Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye ($3.1 million), Sinners ($2.9 million) and Thunderbolts ($2.5 million).

Tom Cruise sets Guinness World Record for 16 burning parachute jumps in ‘Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning'
Tom Cruise has officially earned a Guinness World Record after completing 16 burning parachute jumps while filming Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. The record-setting feat occurred while shooting the climactic plane sequence of the film, with Cruise voluntarily jumping through the air as his parachute caught fire, not once, but 16 times. Paramount celebrated the achievement with a behind-the-scenes video showing the daring stunt in action. Before one of the jumps, Cruise explained the risk involved: 'If this is twisted while it's burning, I'm going to be spinning and burnt. I have to kick out of the twist and then ignite in 10 seconds. We're going to be real smart. I'm not saying be risky. We don't take risks, obviously.' This latest record is Cruise's second. He was awarded the Guinness World Record for 'Most consecutive $100-million-grossing movies (actor)' between the period of 2012 and 2018. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning opened over Memorial Day Weekend, debuting to a record-setting $200 million and climbing to $360 million globally. Cruise expressed gratitude, writing: 'This weekend was one for the history books! Congratulations and thank you to every filmmaker... and most of all, THANK YOU to audiences everywhere.' Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is now showing in cinemas worldwide.

Tom Cruise wing walking stunt inspired by TikTok video in Mission: Impossible Final Reckoning
During a Cannes Masterclass, Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning director Christopher McQuarrie revealed how one of the film's biggest stunts was inspired by an unexpected source: a TikTok video. While discussing the movie, McQuarrie shared that he casually showed the video to Tom Cruise, expecting a laugh. Instead, Cruise confidently declared, 'I could do that!' This sparked the creation of the now-famous scene where Cruise performs wing walking on an airplane. McQuarrie explained the back-and-forth process with Cruise, highlighting their collaborative approach. He said they began the film by discussing what each wanted to include — Cruise was eager to do wing walking, while McQuarrie had planned a submarine sequence. The director humorously noted how their ambitious ideas often challenge each other, with Cruise pushing boundaries and McQuarrie sometimes questioning the feasibility. The stunt faced skepticism from professional wing walkers, many of whom doubted it could be achieved safely. However, the production team persevered, consulting with experts and designing the sequence to be both thrilling and realistic. This daring stunt fits Cruise's reputation for performing his own high-risk action scenes. Throughout the Mission: Impossible franchise, he has completed similarly dangerous feats, including hanging off the side of a commercial jet and extended underwater breath holds. Early reactions to The Final Reckoning suggest the film offers fewer action scenes than previous installments, but the ones featured are impactful and memorable. McQuarrie's insight into the wing walking stunt reassures fans that the movie delivers exciting moments worthy of the franchise's legacy.
