LOS ANGELES, June 2: Recent reports suggest that Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise has shifted his romantic focus from singer Shakira to none other than Angelina Jolie, ex-wife of his long-standing rival Brad Pitt. Cruise, known for his roles in the “Mission: Impossible” franchise, reportedly aims to collaborate with the “Maleficent” actor on a project before exploring any potential romantic connection.
According to Heat Magazine, Cruise and Jolie have engaged in discussions over the past few years regarding potential collaboration in the entertainment industry. Sources close to the actors suggest that Jolie has recently shown more openness to social interaction with Cruise, hinting at a mutual interest between the two Hollywood icons.
An insider revealed, “Cruise raves about Ange’s intellect and what a strong, impressive woman she is. He loves that she’s never really conformed in Hollywood. Plus, they’re both such superstars, only a handful of people can truly understand the life they live. That in itself creates a bond.”
With Jolie’s divorce from Brad Pitt finalized and their children grown up, Cruise sees this as the opportune moment to approach the acclaimed actress. His strategy, as shared by insiders, involves convincing Jolie to collaborate on a project before making any romantic advances.
“He’s being careful not to come on too strong, but he wants to take it out of the friend zone,” the insider added.
Furthermore, sources claim that Cruise has no intention of imposing his religious beliefs on Jolie, as he recognizes that such an approach could potentially deter her. Instead, he aims to navigate their relationship with sensitivity and respect for her beliefs.
