Tom Cruise believes his current love interest, Ana de Armas, is “the sexiest actress of her generation” — and he wants to show her off in a steamy new movie, a source tells the Enquirer.
“Tom is absolutely fixated on working with Ana in a project that pushes the boundaries,” the source says of the A-lister, 63.
The Cuban actress, 37, has been making headlines for the threesome she performs with actors Toby Wallace, 30, and Felix Kammerer, 29, in their new historical thriller, Eden.

“Tom feels like the timing couldn’t be better because she’s riding high on all the praise for her latest role and he wants to capitalize on that momentum,” says the source. “He’s encouraging Ana to embrace that side of her.”
The Mission: Impossible star is “in phenomenal shape,” adds the source, and is “already making calls to find the right script that lets them showcase their raw attraction on-screen.”
Neither of them have shied away from NSFW material. De Armas filmed multiple sex scenes, including a few with her ex, Ben Affleck, 53, in her 2022 thriller, Deep Water.

Cruise famously starred in the erotic drama Eyes Wide Shut with his then-wife, Nicole Kidman, 58, in 1999. “That movie put Nicole in a whole new league, and Tom says the right project with him and Ana could do the same for her,” says the source.
“He’s telling Ana that audiences are hungry for something provocative but smart, and that they can give it to them and reap the rewards,” continues the source. “Tom doesn’t want to do anything trashy — he wants to make art with her.”
