Tom Cruise and Cher
The American singer herself confirmed it in an interview with Oprah Winfrey: Cher and Tom Cruise had a brief affair in the mid-nineties when he was 23 years old and she was 39. The actor had just risen to stardom with Top Gun and They spent an unforgettable night together, although the relationship between the two could not continue due to the demands of their respective careers: "We could have had a great romance because I was crazy about him," Cher declared. It is understood that they called it quits when Cruise met his first wife, Mimi Rogers, who predated Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes.
Isabel Pantoja and Jose Coronado
Speaking of short romances that ended before they started, one of Spain's favorite rumors. In the 1990s, Isabel Pantoja landed a film role alongside José Coronado, working hand in hand on the film That is Me. Although their relationship was never confirmed, the supposed news of the affair between the two began to grow in the press and among their close friends. José Coronado discredited this anecdote in an interview with Bertín Osborne, but heartfelt journalists like Beatriz Cortázar continue to put their hands on fire for this couple, who may have existed at some point. A quaint romance, to say the least!
Madonna and Sean Penn
The American actor and the queen of pop were married and, by all accounts, that relationship was hell. He was 24 years old, she was 27, and Andy Warhol described the wedding as "the most exciting day of her life": the boyfriend threatened the press with a gun and set a precedent for the wild and violent temperament of the actor, of whom Madonna would have said in 1985 that he "probably die young." After several nights in prison, a judge finally forced him to seek psychiatric help, and while Hollywood has seen all kinds of rumors about their relationship, decades after their divorce, Sean Penn and Madonna are still on good terms. It is not the only distant and striking conquest of the queen of pop: Madonna also had a relationship with the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, a contemporary of Warhol, who died of his heroin addiction when he was 27 years old.
Janet Jackson and Matthew McConaughey
After they met at the 2002 Grammys, multiple sources claimed to have seen Matthew McConaughey leave Janet Jackson's house with shoes in hand. When asked about her, he said he met her at the Grammys and found her "a very, very sweet lady, we exchanged great music and she became darlings. It's sweet but we're not dating, we're just friends." Janet, for her part, has implied that something happened between the two... Although we will never know!
Sarah Jessica Parker and Robert Downey Jr.
The protagonist of S- and the City maintained a relationship of almost seven years with the interpreter of Iron Man, which ended because of addictions and his difficult temperament. "I had learned to take care of myself, but I couldn't take care of Robert and I found the courage to leave, praying that he did not die of an overdose," explained Parker, who was part of the darkest stage of the actor's life. Since then, the one who was a Hollywood actor with whom no one wanted to work lived his personal and professional moments.
