For years, there were rumors about Tom Cruise and Hayley Atwell. Rumors that they were dating, rumors that they spent a lot of time together filming Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One, rumors that they broke up after things went south. While I believed that Hayley and Tom could be doing a showmance for movie-promotion and just general professional reasons, I never believed that they were actually dating or having a real romance. Well, as Hayley promoted this MI movie, she?s talking about those rumors and more. She also confirmed to the Independent that she is engaged? to Ned Wolfgang Kelly, a songwriter/composer. She wore her engagement ring during the interview. Some highlights:
The truth about the Tom Cruise rumors: The truth, Atwell tells me, is that she looked on Cruise and Mission?s director, Chris McQuarrie (or ?McQ?), as ?sort of two uncles?. And who doesn?t love seeking advice from their uncle about the fact that the world thinks you?re courting? ?I would be like, ?Ooh, there?s some weird rumours, and it feels base, it feels a little dirty, it feels grubby, it?s not what I?m about,?? she explains. ?Why are things being assumed or projected onto me about my relationship with my work colleague and boss?? Atwell found it ?upsetting? because ?it?s involving people in my actual life, my personal life, who have to be on the receiving end of that. It becomes invasive.?
Tom?s reaction to the romance rumors: But Cruise, who Atwell says ?carries his fame like a loose garment?, knew exactly what to say. ?When I?ve talked to him about it, he?d be like? ? here she turns to me intensely and looks directly into my eyes ? ??You know exactly who you are. You know what you?re about. And that is the only thing that matters. It doesn?t matter what people think of you, if you are in integrity with yourself, if you know what your value system is.?
What she really thinks of Tom Cruise: ?I truly feel you could meet him and go? ? here she affects a voice of dry cynicism ? ??He?s nice; he?s charming; he?s charismatic; he knows how to make people feel good about themselves. So that?s just a tactic for total manipulation, because he?s probably just an egocentric.?? She rolls her eyes. ?Or whatever bulls*** people want to make up about people. But over time, you?re just watching him, going: he really works hard, he really cares, he?s really interested in people and wants to engage with them, and he believes in the power of cinema as much as he did when he was five years old.? Going into the franchise, she says, he made her feel ?safe?.

Yeah? so that?s it. I believe her, I guess. I believe that they didn?t have a romance or showmance, but even despite her protests now, I do think she probably sort of enjoyed the buzz. I mean, there was gossip about Tom and Hayley for years and neither of them addressed it before now. Now, I also think it?s funny that she called Tom something akin to an ?uncle.? Granted, age-wise, that is what he would be she?s 41, he?s 61. But Hayley calling him an uncle just highlights the age difference. Anyway, I think Tom has basically given up on romance or whatever these days, he?s just all about the work, all about the grind.

I watched the Wimbledon women?s final live on ESPN, with Chris Fowler and Chris Evert doing commentary. In between points, the cameras panned the crowd and Evert exclaimed, ?Wait is that Tom Cruise?!? It was. Tom Cruise was seated in the regular peasant seats as opposed to the Royal Box happily enjoying the women?s final (which was a great match). He arrived at Wimbledon with his Mission: Impossible 7 costars, Hayley Atwell and Pom Klementieff (a French actress).
There were some rumors or rumor-mongering that perhaps Tom and Hayley are happening. They seemed to be enjoying themselves, for what it?s worth. But Pom was the third wheel? Or were they a threesome so it would just look like Tom took some work friends out to watch tennis? And yes, they are still filming MI7. Apparently, the production was shut down because everybody kept getting Covid, but I?m almost positive that they?re still filming that stupid movie in the UK. What?s funny is that Wimbledon attendees have to wear masks when they?re walking around the grounds, but inside the Center Court stadium, no one has to wear masks. Still, I haven?t heard anything about Wimbledon being a super-spreader site (I think people have to show proof of vaccination to enter).
One of the funniest/dumbest parts about Tom?s presence there was that once people realized he was sitting among the peasants, everyone wanted a photo with him. During Ash Barty and Karolina Pliskova?s changeovers, Tom was standing up to pose for photos for the people seated around him. Plus, all of the Wimbledon social media accounts were making ?mission impossible? jokes during the tennis match. Maybe this was some kind of promotional thing. Weird, but it wouldn?t surprise me.

Hayley Atwell is best known for her immaculate portrayal of Agent Carter on ABC. Carter is the woman who entranced Captain America and inspired his boy-scout celibacy, and she’s also a Marvel entity who attracts their hardcore fandom. Seriously, the Marvel actors have to deal with all sorts of weird, obsessive behavior. Those fans could give the Twihards a run for their parents’ money. The actors are aware of this (to a degree) when they sign on for these roles, but the fan enthusiasm must be overwhelming. Handlers can keep things under control at events, but social media ends up being a free for all.
Young people, especially, have adopted a newish fan practice of tweeting “mom” or “dad” at their favorite celebrities. Most of the time, this is a harmless (and some say “endearing“) gesture meant to express something like “You’re so cool, I wish you were my mom.” Other instances — like some I’ve seen in replies to Chris Evans — can get pretty explicit. “F*** me, daddy” and much worse, for example. What happened here with Atwell seems pretty innocent. A fan hinted at her “mom” for a birthday tweet. Atwell called her creepy and blocked the fan immediately. Here’s part of the ongoing exchange:
