Despite calling time on their off-screen romance earlier this year, Hollywood heavyweight Tom Cruise and his former co-star Ana de Armas have demonstrated remarkable professionalism by continuing to work together on their upcoming underwater thriller, 'Deeper'.
The two actors, who were briefly linked romantically during the early stages of production, have been spotted filming together at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in Hertfordshire, showing no signs of awkwardness between them.
Professionalism Prevails On Set
Sources close to the production have revealed that both Cruise and de Armas have maintained a completely professional relationship throughout the filming process. "There's absolutely no tension between them," an insider disclosed. "They're both consummate professionals who understand this is about making the best film possible."
The film, which began production before the pandemic, follows a disgraced astronaut who embarks on a dangerous deep-sea mission to explore a newly discovered trench. Cruise plays the lead role while de Armas portrays a scientist accompanying him on the perilous journey.
From Real Romance to Reel Chemistry
The pair were first romantically linked in early 2020 after being spotted together frequently between filming schedules. However, their relationship proved short-lived, with sources confirming they had gone their separate ways by the end of the year.
Rather than allowing their personal history to affect their work, both actors have reportedly channelled their energy into creating compelling on-screen chemistry for the demanding production. "The film requires intense emotional scenes between them, and they've both delivered incredible performances," the source added.
High-Stakes Production Continues
'Deeper' represents another ambitious project for Cruise, known for performing his own daring stunts in blockbuster franchises like Mission: Impossible. The underwater thriller is being directed by Kornél Mundruczó and produced by Cruise himself through his production company.
The film's production has faced multiple delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but insiders confirm that the cast and crew have remained committed to bringing the ambitious project to completion, with filming expected to wrap in the coming months.
