Hayley Atwell reveals what it was really like working with 'magnetic' Mission Impossible co-star Tom Cruise after bizarre romance rumours
Hayley Atwell has revealed what it was really like working with her 'magnetic' Mission Impossible co-star Tom Cruise after bizarre romance rumours previously circulated about the pair. The co-stars, who have worked together on the last two Mission: Impossible films, were widely thought to have been romantically involved prior to her relationship with and subsequent engagement to music producer Ned Wolfgang Kelly. The actress, 43, previously played down claims of a former romance with Cruise, admitting he was more like an 'uncle.' Cruise, 62, is now thought to be dating actress Ana de Armas with the pair being pictured together at various times this year. Speaking to HUNGER Magazine Hayley gushed about Tom saying he was a 'very magnetic movie star'. Hayley added that he was 'hard working and dedicated' saying he is the real star behind the Mission Impossible franchise as a whole. Speaking of his movie star quality she sweetly said: 'They don't make them like that anymore and they never will.' She has previously denied a romance with Cruise. 'Why are things being assumed or projected onto me about my relationship with my work colleague and boss?' she told The Independent. 'It's involving people in my actual life, my personal life, who have to be on the receiving end of that. It becomes invasive.' Hayley and Ned have kept their relationship away from the public eye and are rarely pictured together. Also during the HUNGER interview she spoke about becoming a mum in 2024 and filming Mission Impossible as well as continuing her theatre work. She said: 'I was juggling having physical changes in my body, having a child, while also doing a play live, and then going back to a franchise. 'And I think it shows that I have grown enormously as an individual.' Back in May Cruise and Hayley attended the New York premiere of Mission: Impossible 8 - The Final Reckoning where they appeared close. The long-term co-stars shared a moment together after joining cast and crew on the red carpet outside the city's Lincoln Center. Hayley appeared to squeeze Cruise's shoulder as they leaned in for a private exchange during the latest in a series of red carpet premieres that began on May 14 in Cannes. Cruise has been quietly linked in recent months to Cuban-Spanish beauty Ana, 37, with romance buzz first sparked just before Valentine's Day when the pair were spotted enjoying a private dinner. Fuel was added to the fire in April when Ana was seen traveling with Cruise in his private helicopter, with exclusive DailyMail photos capturing the megastar grinning from ear to ear as he flew them into London. And back in May, they stirred the pot even more, with Cruise publicly praised Ana's new film Ballerina, and she teased that the two are working on 'exciting' projects together. He made the comment to reporters at the premiere of Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning in London. 'I saw the movie, it kicks a**,' Cruise said. 'Oh, man, it's right in that tone. It's right in that big world, and you're gonna love it.' Also back in May Hayley revealed the unusual Christmas gift Cruise once gave her, while praising her Mission: Impossible 8 co-star's generosity. Appearing on Heart Radio with Pandora Christie, Hayley opened up about their strong bond and her excitement for their film. Giving a peek into her off-screen bond with the Hollywood star, she shared that he's great when it comes to gift-giving. She said: 'He (Tom) did give my grandmother a lift in a helicopter on Christmas Eve at sunset a few years ago. And that was a great gift that he gave me.' 'Was that just a surprise? Did you know so had you planned it?' Pandora asked. Hayley explained: 'I knew but she didn't. And I took her to this heliport where there's café beside it, she didn't know, and I said, ''oh look there's a helipad out there.'' And she went ''oh you wouldn't get me on a helicopter, oh no, it's very dangerous''. 'And we were just having a cup of tea and then all of a sudden Tom Cruise walks round the corner and goes ''hi.'' 'And my grandma she was just amazing she goes ''hiya'' like she'd known him for years just 'hiya darling, you alright?' and gives him a big hug. 'And he goes ''are ready to go on a helicopter with me?'' and she just went ''yep!'' 'She puts down the walking stick, marches into the helicopter, sits down in the back and takes it all in. 'He was so kind and gentle and explained everything that was happening, what every feeling or sensation was, with a description of every sort of technical aspect of it. It was beautiful and so peaceful. 'And to be in the helicopter with her over London and seeing the city from that view and just seeing the look on her face and knowing that was a huge gift for me, I think. And what it meant for her was just a testament to how generous he is as a man.' 'You've got a friend for life there, you really have,' Pandora said before Hayley simply added: 'Yeah.'

Hayley Atwell was eight months pregnant filming Mission: Impossible fight scene
Hayley Atwell has revealed she was eight-and-a-half months pregnant when she filmed a fight scene for Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning. The Marvel actress, who plays pickpocket Grace in the action franchise, revealed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday that she performed a key fight scene alongside Tom Cruise while heavily pregnant. Before showing a clip of their fight, Atwell said, "I've never said before, actually. This is a Fallon exclusive. But during this fight sequence, we came back to it a few times to add a few elements to it. And in this clip, I'm actually eight and a half months pregnant." When Fallon expressed his shock, she continued, "I'm serious. Yes. And I have to say, I was taken such good care of. Everyone was so supportive and they were like, 'Oh, you can sit down, and we'll have a stunt double do it.' And I was like, 'No! I've worked too hard. Let me do it.' So I did it, and here it is." Atwell, 43, quietly welcomed her first child with her partner Ned Wolfgang Kelly last year. The news was revealed in November when she was photographed holding a baby and pushing a pram in London. However, when asked to address new motherhood in an interview with The Guardian in February, the private star replied, "I can't go there on something that's just too precious. And I've learned that to speak for anyone in my personal life that hasn't chosen a life in the public eye, it does them a disservice." Atwell got engaged to Kelly in 2023, and she referred to him as her husband during a TV interview earlier this month. Mission: Impossible - Final Reckoning is in cinemas now.

The mutual affection was clear as Tom Cruise and Hayley Atwell attended the New York premiere of Mission: Impossible 8 - The Final Reckoning on Sunday evening. The long-term co-stars shared a moment together after joining cast and crew on the red carpet outside the city's Lincoln Center. Atwell, 43, appeared to squeeze Cruise's shoulder as they leaned in for a private exchange during the latest in a series of red carpet premieres that began on May 14 in Cannes. The co-stars, who have worked together on the last two Mission: Impossible films, were widely thought to have been romantically involved prior to her relationship with and subsequent engagement to music producer Ned Wolfgang Kelly. Cruise, 62, is now dating actress Ana de Armas, who has been notably absent during his whirlwind promotional campaign on behalf of the new film. Atwell previously played down claims of a former romance with Cruise, admitting he was more like an 'uncle.' 'Why are things being assumed or projected onto me about my relationship with my work colleague and boss?' she told The Independent. 'It's involving people in my actual life, my personal life, who have to be on the receiving end of that. It becomes invasive.' According to an eyewitness, Cruise spent over 15 minutes in front of the concession stand at New York's Lincoln Center while chatting with the astonished staff-members. One X user documented the surreal moment on Sunday night by sharing snapshots of Cruise deep in conversation with employees at AMC Lincoln Square. An accompanying caption read: 'Tom Cruise has been talking to the employees at AMC Lincoln Square for 15 minutes now,' adding later: 'He's still going.'

Still, Cruise wasn't lacking star power at his side. He was joined by a cavalcade of co-stars including Angela Bassett, Nick Offerman, and Pom Klementieff, making for a premiere packed with A-list shine. Earlier that week, Cruise praised Ana' new film, From the World of John Wick: Ballerina. He made the comment to reporters at the premiere of Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning in London on Thursday evening. 'I saw the movie, it kicks a**,' Cruise said.
