Tom Cruise is just like Us — a Swiftie, that is.
When asked at the London premiere of his new film Digger if he’d ever say yes to starring in a Taylor Swift music video, the actor, 64, showered praise on the pop star, 36.
“It would be amazing to work with her on anything,” Cruise told BuzzFeed U.K. on Tuesday, September 22. “I make movies, you know, let’s go make a movie. I think she’s such a talent in anything she does. She’s absolutely brilliant. She’s a brilliant writer. Brilliant.”
The Cocktail star, who hit the Leicester Square premiere with Prince William and wife Kate Middleton among a string of celebrities, added that he believes Swift would prove to be an exceptional director should she pursue a cinematic career.
“Her ability, you know, we were talking about … if she ever decided to direct, she could be a director of feature films. I know she does her videos and she does a beautiful job,” he said during the interview, adding that she, her family and her husband, Travis Kelce, were all “very magical.”
Cruise and Swift’s friendship was on full display during the Kansas City Chiefs’ season opener against the Denver Broncos at Arrowhead Stadium on September 14. Spotted enjoying the game alongside the pop star in her private suite, Cruise later revealed that she had taught the actor more than a thing or two about what they were watching.
“She was schooling me on football. She was bringing the football [knowledge],” Cruise told Jimmy Fallon on the Thursday, September 17, episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, before complementing his famous friend again.
“First of all, she’s a genius,” Cruise continued. “I’ve been following her since she was a kid. Everybody there, all their friends … they’re a beautiful couple and magical in their own right.”
Cruise was in attendance at Kelce, also 36, and Swift’s July 3 wedding at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, which was officiated by fellow film star Adam Sandler.
Earlier this month, Kelce used the same term — “magical” — to describe his nuptials during the September 2 episode of his “New Heights” podcast. “We wanted to do it somewhere where we could have a very intimate and genuine setting without a lot of distractions. We needed it to be a private feel. And MSG went above and beyond to give us that. I can’t thank everybody enough that showed up but also that helped put the show on, and it was a very magical, magical night,” he shared at the time.
He also noted that he wished the evening could’ve “lasted even longer” than it did. “It felt like it just happened in the blink of an eye,” Kelce fondly reflected.
