New romance? Tom Cruise, 54, ‘has fallen for’ Mission: Impossible 6 co-star Vanessa Kirby, 28, who he cast after seeing her in The Crown

Tom Cruise has not had a serious love interest since he divorced Katie Holmes in 2012.

But the 54-year-old actor has now fallen for his Mission: Impossible 6 co-star Vanessa Kirby, 28, who he cast after seeing in the TV series The Crown, according to a Wednesday report from InTouch Weekly.

It was also claimed the action star could very well make her his fourth wife as he is interested in settling down now that his beloved mother Mary Lee Pfeiffer died at the age of 80 in February.

A source told the publication that he loved how Vanessa played Princess Margaret in The Crown, a Netflix show.

‘Tom flipped for her work,’ a source said.

‘He told the other MI producers that he had to have Vanessa for a crucial role in the franchise’s sixth installment.’

Once he got her on set, they had ‘instant chemistry,’ it was alleged. That led to her getting the role right away, it was claimed.

‘He’s blown away by her endless charm and energy,’ a source insisted.

Now the Top Gun icon is thinking of a future with the blonde British star, it was claimed.

‘He wants to make her the next Mrs Tom Cruise,’ a source said.

The beauty was born in Wilmbledon and studied at Exeter Univers
ity. She got her start in theater and then started making movies such as Jupiter Ascending with Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum.

Though Tom did not work with his first wife Mimi Rogers or his third wife Katie, he did have on-screen fire with his second wife Nicole Kidman, who he wed in 1990.

Together they lit up the 1990 race car saga Days Of Thunder. After that they worked together on the 1992 drama Far And Away.

The stars divorced in 2001.

M:I 6 – Mission Impossible is scheduled for a July 27, 2018 release date.

Christopher McQuarrie will direct the sequel which also sees Rebecca Ferguson returning. Last week the director confirmed Superman star Henry Cavill would be joining the cast.
