Here are some photos from last night’s Ballerina premiere in London. Ballerina is part of the John Wick Universe, although the story does not come chronologically after John Wick: Chapter 4. I love Keanu Reeves and I’m happy he created this franchise, but I’ve never watched an entire John Wick movie. Bless him, though. Good for him, truly. Anyway, Ana de Armas plays a ballerina-assassin and Keanu’s John Wick is also in the film. Keanu came out for the London premiere, and they posed together on the carpet. She seems to enjoy Keanu a lot. Keanu was perfectly respectful – he’s an unproblematic face who has never been touchy-feely with his lady costars, you barely ever see him posing with his arms around someone (unless he’s with Sandra Bullock). Ana wore Louis Vuitton for the premiere… like, I think LV has done Ana dirty so often, but I assume that they’ve paying her a lot, so it is what it is. This week, Ana spoke to WWD about all of the Tom Cruise rumors:
Ana de Armas hinted at her relationship with Tom Cruise as the pair continue to spark dating rumors.
“Obviously, everyone knows I’m working with Tom Cruise,” the “Ballerina” star teased during an interview with Women’s Wear Daily published Thursday. De Armas and Cruise are “working on something” with action movie directors Christopher McQuarrie and Doug Liman.
“Those guys are unbelievable at everything they do,” de Armas said in part. “And they’re so lovely and a great team, and the process we’re having is amazing.”
The “Knives Out” actress, 37, also touched on the physical rigors of working with the “Top Gun” actor, 62, and his action movie collaborators. “Of course I’m doing crazy training, as you do when you’re working with Tom. It’s another level that just keeps setting the bar higher and higher. But it’s so much fun. And we’re not only working on that thing that we’re training for, but also a couple other things too. We just got excited.”
So, there you go. She’s not dating Tom Cruise. They’re working together. I would even argue that Tom is probably mentoring her, as he’s done for other actors. Fun fact: Keanu is only two years younger than Tom!

I love Keanu, that’s all I got!
He was a really cute younger guy, but Good Lawd he just keeps getting more handsome with every passing year. And I just get more haggy with each passing year. Keanu is two years younger than I am.
Keanu is truly aging like a fine wine!
I will always click for Keanu, he seems like a good egg.
I do kind of enjoy that Ana doesn’t really pose, just stands there like a column.
I’ve noticed that too, she doesn’t often do the “holding a bag in front of your stomach” pose all the other girlies are doing. She just stands there looking awkward, and it’s kind of relatable lol
Keanu forever!
Anas career is struggling. I did not see her becoming an action star.
I love Keanu but I have never thought the beard works on him, especially since he only dyes his hair and not the beard. Would love to see him go back to the clean shaven with a sliver fox crew cut.
Wow despite the fact that Keanu has a craggier face with wrinkles and grey hair he *feels* a decade younger than cruise. And that’s even thou cruise probably has the best doctor In Hollywood. Cruise gets great work that prevents him from looking both old or like an alien.
Maybe it’s that cruise is so associated with the 80/90s and also seems out of touch like an old dad
I think what keeps Keanu fresh is that he keeps having new trendsetting, influential hits that are so different from his old hits. Ted Keanu is a world away from Point Break Keanu who is a world away from Matrix Keanu who is a world away from John Wick Keanu. And each one set off a cascade of movies building on what he did. Tom Cruise has t had a hit that sparked a new movie trend for a while, he mostly builds on what we expect from him, so he feels less fresh. Tom Cruise makes more money because people love getting what we expect but I think Keanu has been the more influential actor.
Ana is a beautiful woman. That dress is unflattering.
we’ll have to watch to see if she gets her teeth filed down. that has in the past one of SciToms demands.
It’s not the worst LV she’s worn. I kind of like the silver mermaid pattern. Anyways, Keanu is just…sigh. Always a sweet one.
Keanu ages well. I love how he never puts himself in a questionable situation. When he is photographed with women, he always makes sure his hands are visible and never touches their bodies. We only hear about positive interactions with him. He like an angel on earth.
MsKrisTalk, I was just about to say the same thing. Keanu is the best, not only unproblematic, but a true gentleman and a hottie. I think Ana looks great, really great. So beautiful. It’s too bad that she has to hook up with or pretend to hook up with much older, undesirable men, like Affleck and Cruz.
Late to the party, but always here for Keanu. It’s nice seeing him aging while he’s still looking much better than so many actors who do everything their money can provide to create the illusion of eternal youth, like the above mentioned proselytizing member of a fascist cult.
It’s great that he came out to support “Ballerina” and AdA. Fingers crossed for the project to be successful.
With you all: love Keanu.
