Like so many Hollywood couples before them, Penelope Cruz and Tom Cruise met on set. However, when the two started working together on 2001’s Vanilla Sky, Cruise was a married man. Here’s where things get dicey. According to Entertainment Weekly, Cruise filed for divorce from Nicole Kidman in February 2001. By August 2001, the divorce was finalized. Ironically, Cruz and Cruise made their public debut as a couple the same month at the premiere of Cruz’s film Captain Corelli’s Mandolin. Following the premiere, the actress gushed to Good Morning America (via ABC News) about what it meant to have Cruise attend the premiere with her. “He came and shared it with me,” Cruz said. “It was special for me that he wanted to share it with me that way.”
Despite the timeline that might suggest that the co-stars hooked up while filming Vanilla Sky (which would have meant that Cruise cheated on Kidman), over the years, Cruz has maintained that the two didn’t get together on set. “I’ve never fallen in love with someone I’m working with,” she told The Telegraph in 2008. “It’s always been afterwards. If something becomes friendship, then maybe months later it becomes something else, but you can never know. It’s always a mystery. You can’t plan those things.” We guess we’ll just have to take her word for it.
