Rebecca De Mornay Reflects on Past Relationship with Tom Cruise

Rebecca De Mornay has expressed admiration and pride for Tom Cruise, reflecting on their relationship and early careers after meeting on the set of the 1983 film Risky Business. The two dated for nearly three years, and De Mornay praised Cruise as a 'brilliant interpreter of the zeitgeist,' highlighting how he fulfilled a vision that resonated with American audiences, notably as the star of Top Gun. She compared their dynamic to musical chords, with Cruise as a "major chord" and herself as a "minor chord," emphasizing their divergent career paths. While Cruise rose to international superstardom with blockbuster franchises like Mission: Impossible, De Mornay pursued more unconventional, gritty roles in films such as The Hand That Rocks the Cradle. Currently, De Mornay is promoting her new thriller Saint Claire, which features a unique narrative about a female serial killer obsessed with Joan of Arc. She sees the project as rare and compelling, wanting to support the film despite its dark themes.
