Fans and the media have always been interested in Tom Cruise’s personal life, which has garnered as much attention as his blockbuster films ever since his role in Top Gun. Cruise has learned the hard way that his personal life is always under the unforgiving scrutiny of the public eye, what with his highly publicized marriages to top actresses Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes.
The actor’s reported infatuation with his Mission: Impossible co-star, Rebecca Ferguson, has not gone unnoticed, despite his desire for privacy in his personal life. Fans have speculated about an off-screen romance between Tom Cruise and Rebecca Ferguson, who plays the alluring and mysterious Agent Ilsa Faust.
Rebecca Ferguson’s Resemblance to Nicole Kidman Captivated Tom Cruise
According to the National Enquirer, Tom Cruise was drawn to Rebecca Ferguson because of her striking resemblance to his ex-wife, Nicole Kidman. Cruise’s past romance with Kidman may have come to mind as he watched Ferguson on the Starz period drama The White Queen, with her ghostly white skin and tousled reddish-blonde hair.

The source also claimed that Cruise’s interest in Ferguson had been piqued because of a s-x scene similar to one Kidman had done in the past. What initially piqued Cruise’s interest in Ferguson was the realization that she reminded him of a younger version of Nicole Kidman.
“She looked just like Nicole with her pale complexion and tousled reddish-blonde hair. Even her sex scene was just like one Nicole did years ago. Cruise was immediately captivated. [Rebecca Ferguson] just like a young Nicole, but even more beautiful.”
Tom Cruise used the same strategy with Rebecca Ferguson that he did with Nicole Kidman during their marriage, choosing her as his co-star in Mission: Impossible films. Cruise insisted on Ferguson because he thought she was the best choice to play Agent Ilsa Faust, although several other famous actresses had expressed interest in the part.
Fans and professionals alike were surprised by the choice, with the former wondering if Cruise’s interest in Ferguson was a factor in the latter’s casting. Radar Online reported that a friend of Cruise’s said there were “better known actresses in line for the role,” but Cruise was adamant that Ferguson was the best option.
Chemistry on Set: Real or Reel?
In both Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation and Mission: Impossible – Fallout, there were rumors of a romantic interest between Tom Cruise and Rebecca Ferguson. According to those in the know, Cruise gave Ferguson his full attention, and his flirtatious attitude toward her only fueled rumors of a romantic relationship between them off-screen.
Despite rumors to the contrary, Rebecca Ferguson chose to focus on her on-screen characters, Ilsa Faust and Ethan Hunt, describing their bond as something more than love or attraction. She spoke highly of the platonic, caring, and devoted nature of their characters’ dynamic in an interview with SyFy, noting that it reflected their real-life friendship.
Cruise and Ferguson’s on-screen chemistry as a passionate couple was riveting, but they have kept their personal lives under wraps. Fans are left wondering if the actors’ electric chemistry is just the result of outstanding acting or if something is beneath the surface because neither has spoken publicly about any potential relationship outside the professional realm.
As the Mission: Impossible series progresses, so does Tom Cruise and Rebecca Ferguson’s working relationship. They were spotted working together on the new movie set, so their on-screen chemistry is still going strong. Fans have high hopes that their chemistry will translate into a real-life romance.
