TOM Cruise has announced that his new fake love with Ana de Armas is the truest fake love he has ever known, and he hopes they will pretend to be together forever.
The Mission Impossible star said he has never found any previous contractual relationship for publicity with a co-star as fraudulently fulfilling, and he hopes it shows in his performance.
He said: “In my life I’ve been blessed with the bogus love of so many beautiful women who never discuss it afterwards under threat of a NDA.
“Rebecca DeMornay, Penelope Cruz, Cher, and or course my three marriages, none of which was in the least convincing. But I really feel Ana is the one, and I know she is preparing for an Oscar run by feeling the same.
“The 26-year age gap doesn’t matter at all because we’re not really a couple. But we’re both private people so don’t expect to see us together very often, except at specific photo opportunities attended by invited members of the paparazzi.
“She’s perfect for me, in that she’s trying to boost a flailing career and is slightly shorter. I will take no further questions.”
Helen Archer of Croydon said: “I admit I’m surprised. Normally he chooses someone who can act.”
