Awkward and unethical as it sounds, Tom Cruise was smitten with Rebecca Ferguson when he first saw her in The White Queen. According to Radar, insiders revealed in 2014, Ferguson caught Cruise’s attention largely because of her resemblance to his ex-wife Nicole Kidman. Therefore, it’s no longer surprising to find the Swedish bombshell opposite Cruise in Mission Impossible, where several other celebrities reportedly struggled for that role.

Tom Cruise was rumored to have employed the same tactics with Rebecca Ferguson as he used with Nicole Kidman. Despite being an unexpected choice, handpicking Ferguson to star alongside him, Cruise tried sparking an electric chemistry. Sources revealed, Cruise found his age-old love in Ferguson. “She looked just like Nicole with her pale complexion and tousled reddish-blonde hair”  insiders shared. Further mentioning the nude scene, sources shared, “Even her s*x scene was just like one Nicole did years ago.”

Sources mentioned the two were “flirting nonstop”, however, Ferguson soon backed out from the romance rumors and tried focusing on her career. Although the two were spotted recently in 2020, Tom Cruise hasn’t updated his relationship status, since his last divorce.
