The interpreter co-stars in the seventh sequel to 'Mission: Impossible' alongside the actor and is known for her role as Peggy Carter in the Captain America film saga.
Lovers of superhero movies and the Marvel universe will not be indifferent to the name Hayley Atwell. This 39-year-old actress, born in London, has given body and voice to Peggy Carter, Captain America's great love in the film saga. She also enjoys recognition on television and in theater.
And in recent days, furthermore, Atwell's image, which debuted before the cameras as the image of an advertisement for Pringles potatoes, has occupied a good part of the tabloid press around the world. The reason? Having accompanied Tom Cruise, 59, during the Wimbledon women's final last weekend.
As can be seen on her social networks, Atwell is a lover of books, nature and animals. In them, the actress appears swimming in a fjord in Norway, balancing on a tree branch and riding a horse. She also reveals some of her readings, many of them written by women and with a feminist focus, such as Memories of My Inexistence, by Rebecca Solnit, and Three Women, by Lisa Taddeo. Furthermore, in her accounts, she has openly shown her support for the LGTBI community and her political preferences, supporting Democrat Kamala Harris in the last US elections: “A government of the people, by the people and for the people. “Democracy in motion.”
An all-round actress, Atwell has proven her worth in film, television and theatre. She debuted on the big screen with a role in the film Cassandra's Dream, by director Woody Allen, and was nominated for several awards for her performances in the television series The Duchess and The Pillars of the Earth, including the Globe. I pray for best actress for the latter. Her experience on the stage has also given her some joy, such as the nomination for the Olivier Awards, considered the most prestigious awards in British theatre. She has played Peggy Carter in the Captain America saga up to seven times and for months she has been filming with Tom Cruise the seventh sequel to the box office hit Mission Impossible, a job.
Last Saturday, Atwell and Cruise arrived together and smiling at the All England Lawn Tennis Croquett Club, in London, to enjoy the final of the tennis tournament, which faced Ashleigh Barty and Karolina Pliskova. He dressed in a blue suit and champagne-colored tie, she, in a long ankle-length dress, red shoes matching the bag and an ecru coat. Moments later, the actress published a photo on her Instagram account of herself with Cruise and fellow performer Pom Klementieff — both of their partners in the new installment of Mission: Impossible — in which an indecipherable “strawberries and cream” could be read.
Last December, the British newspaper The Sun published that, according to a member of the Mission Impossible 7 production team, the couple had “hit it off from day one.” “The confinement, and all the difficulties that it entailed, brought them even closer and they have become quite inseparable,” said the source, who also claimed that the actress had been at Cruise's house in London. The newspaper echoed the possible romance by illustrating the article with a photograph of Cruise and Atwell handcuffed, as required by the script, and holding hands during a moment during the filming of the feature film in Rome. A recording that has been interrupted twice due to several cases of positive Covid-19 in the team, the last one last June.
The pandemic put the actor in trouble after a recording came to light in which he could be heard shouting at the members of the set due to the relaxation of protective measures against the coronavirus. "I want the best. In Hollywood they have made movies again thanks to us. Because they believe in us and what we do. I'm on the phone with every studio at night, insurance companies, producers... And they look at us and use us to make movies. We are creating thousands of jobs. I never want to see him again. If not, you're fired. If I see you doing it again, you're fired." he yelled at them. An attack of fury that caused five workers to leave.
