Tom Cruise has reportedly approached his new girlfriend Ana de Armas for the leading role in his new film.

Tom is currently working on his new Mission: Impossible film, another movie named Judy and a third with the working title Pressure. 

It is not known which of his blockbuster project he has allegedly lined up Ana for but he reportedly hopes to star alongside her in an upcoming movie.

‘Tom has a lot on his plate at the moment, but this new project is really exciting for Tom and he wants Ana to be in it with him.’ 

MailOnline has contacted Tom’s representatives for comment. 

It comes after DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that Ben Affleck is ‘annoyed’ that his fellow A-lister pal Tom is dating his ex-girlfriend Ana.

‘Ben is kind of [a] jealous [type], yup,’ a source told DailyMail.com. 

‘He really liked Ana a lot and then she walked away and left him sad. So to see her happy with his friend is kind of weird for him.’

Ben’s friends have joked that the star ‘should get revenge on Tom by dating his ex-wife Katie Holmes,’ who appears to be single. 

However, logistically, Ben lives in Los Angeles while the Dawson’s Creek star calls New York City home.

Ben – who used to date Tom’s pal Gwyneth Paltrow – has always been ‘a little bit’ jealous of Tom’s amazing action film career, it has been claimed.

Tom and Ana have been in a romance since Valentine’s Day. Most recently they were spotted enjoying a romantic stroll in a London park last week (pictured with their security) 

 ‘I think every working actor in Hollywood is jealous of Tom’s success and Ben is not any different,’ the source added, downplaying the tension.

They noted: ‘But Ben is also happy for Tom. I mean, he admires that a colleague in his sixties is still going hard on the big screen. Ben hopes to be so lucky one day.’ 

Ben dated Ana from March 2020 to January 2021. They were first linked while filming thriller Deep Water but went their separate ways after nearly a year together.

Ana and Tom have been in romantically linked since Valentine’s Day and were most recently spotted enjoying a romantic stroll in a London park.

A video captured by an eagle-eyed fan showed the couple enjoying the sunshine on Ana’s 37th birthday last week.

Surrounded by security, Ana was dressed in a casual pale-pink T-shirt and skinny jeans, accessorising with a Louis Vuitton cross-body bag.

Tom was rumoured to be taking Ana to his friend David Beckham’s 50th birthday party at Core in London, but he instead made a solo appearance at the bash.
