Rebecca De Mornay, the actress who famously starred alongside Tom Cruise in the 1983 hit film 'Risky Business', has finally spoken out about their rumoured off-screen romance in a rare interview.
The 64-year-old actress, who played the enigmatic call girl Lana in the cult classic, revealed tantalising details about their secret relationship during filming, which has been the subject of Hollywood gossip for decades.
The Spark That Ignited During Filming
De Mornay recounted how their chemistry wasn't just for the cameras. 'There was definitely something special between us,' she admitted coyly, without divulging too many intimate details.
The pair's sizzling on-screen dynamic in 'Risky Business' - particularly in the iconic train scene - had fans speculating about a real-life connection, but neither star had ever publicly confirmed the rumours until now.
Why She's Speaking Out Now
When asked why she chose to break her silence after all these years, De Mornay explained: 'Time gives you perspective. That period was magical - not just because of the film's success, but because of the personal journey.'
The actress, who went on to star in 'The Hand That Rocks the Cradle', has largely stayed out of the spotlight in recent years, making these revelations particularly surprising.
Tom Cruise's Meteoric Rise
The affair reportedly occurred just as Cruise's career was skyrocketing. 'Risky Business' marked his breakthrough role, paving the way for 'Top Gun' and establishing him as one of Hollywood's most bankable stars.
De Mornay reflected on watching his ascent: 'It was incredible to witness that talent up close, even before the world knew what was coming.'
While their romance was brief, it remains a fascinating footnote in Hollywood history, offering a glimpse into the private life of one of cinema's most private superstars.
