Hayley Atwell is addressing the speculations that she was dating Tom Cruise.
The 41-year-old actress is co-starring with Tom in Mission” Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. The film is out in theaters July 12.
Since the start of filming the movie, Tom and Hayley have been the subject of romance rumors.
Now, in a new interview, Hayley is finally speaking out about the rumors. She got candid with The Independent on the rumors linking her to Tom as they were filming.
Hayley shared that she views Tom, as well as the movie’s director Christopher McQuarrie, as her “two uncles.” She said:
“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.’
Why are things being assumed or projected onto me about my relationship with my work colleague and boss?”
She admitted that the rumors were “upsetting” for this reason:
“It’s involving people in my actual life, my personal life, who have to be on the receiving end of that.
It becomes invasive.”
