Sydney Sweeney spotted interacting with Tom Cruise at Governors Awards 2025
Tom Cruise, who recently ended a short-lived romance with Ana de Armas, arrived at the ceremony to receive one of the Academy’s highest honors. However, his brief interaction with Sydney Sweeney is what ended up dominating the digital conversation.
The 28-year-old made a glamorous red carpet appearance in a strapless silver gown that shimmered under the lights. The dress featured a beaded, corset-style bodice adorned with crystals and a soft chiffon drape that flowed into a delicate train.
Once the video hit X (formerly Twitter), fans wasted no time chiming in. Some viewers jokingly cautioned the “Mission Impossible” actor, with one user writing, “GET AWAY FROM HIM NOOOOOO.” Another added, “I wonder what they talked about.”
The evening marked a major milestone for the 63-year-old, who was awarded the Academy Honorary Award Oscar in recognition of his four decades of contributions to cinema. He received a standing ovation as he took the stage, delivering a heartfelt speech on the transformative power of movies and the global communities that his work has reached.
Cruise said, “The cinema takes me around the world. It helps me to appreciate and respect differences. It also shows me our shared humanity, how alike we are in so, so many ways. And no matter where we come from, in that theatre, we laugh together, we feel together, we hope together, and that is the power of this art form. And that is why it matters, that is why it matters to me. So making films is not what I do, it is who I am.”
