Tom Cruise faced rumors that linked him romantically with the Colombian artist.
Tom Cruise is one of the most desired men in the world. The movie Heartthrob has conquered many hearts throughout his long and successful career, but recently he was embroiled in controversy when it became known that he had intentions of attracting Shakira's attention and that she did not want to know anything.
In the last month, many articles were published talking about the subject and also a source close to the actor assured that he was very interested in the artist. Although a possible romance was first rumored, after being photographed together at the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Miami, then some portals assured that the Colombian artist could not get the actor off her back, who had even sent her flowers.
But the truth is that neither Shakira nor Tom Cruise had talked about this publicly, at least until now. But finally, the Hollywood star decided to break the silence and refer to Gerard Piqué's ex for the first time.
The film actor communicated from Rome, where he is promoting his new Mission Impossible, with the Despierta América program. Minutes into the talk, Cruise admitted that he knew how to speak Spanish because he had a Spanish girlfriend in the past, referring to Penélope Cruz, which was considered a nod to the singer.
It was little by little that the presenter of the show got into a controversy with the Colombian artist and expressed to her: "We love to see you with Shakira in Formula 1, I didn't know they were friends." Given these words, Tom Cruise opened up about their bond.
"She is so talented, she and her family are adorable people," he began by saying, adding: "I have always admired her work, she is a great person, a very good person."
However, the presenter Jessi Rodríguez took advantage of her opportunity and made a controversial comment to see how Tom Cruise would react: "And his hips don't lie." "No, they don't lie, they don't," the actor replied, laughing without saying anything more about it.
