Como agente altamente capacitado en Misión: Imposible – Protocolo Fantasma, Tom Cruise utiliza una elaborada artimaña tecnológica para irrumpir en un lugar secreto. Archivo del Kremlin.

Pero en la vida real, la estrella de Hollywood ha descubierto una forma mucho más sencilla de infiltrarse en las reuniones de la clase inteligente de Rusia.

Cruise, de 61 años, fue vista besándose en una fiesta en Mayfair de Londres‘con la socialité Elsina Khayrova, de 36 años, la hija de un destacado parlamentario ruso y ex esposa de un oligarca comerciante de diamantes.

‘Eran inseparables, claramente una pareja’ dijo un invitado al evento casi exclusivamente ruso al Daily Mail. “Parecía estar enamorado de ella”.

Se dice que la pareja apareció junta en la fiesta en Grosvenor Square alrededor de las 9 p. m. el sábado pasado, para sorpresa y emoción de los demás invitados.

Miss Khayrova, clad in a strapless black dress with a diamanté bow, posed for pictures with Avramenko Aliena, a former Miss Europe contestant, before hitting the dance floor with her Top Gun star plus-one. Cruise and Miss Khayrova reportedly left the event together in the early hours.

‘Cruise was very friendly – he kept being asked for pictures and politely declining,’ the source said. ‘Eventually, the DJ had to make an announcement in Russian that Mr Cruise didn’t want any photos.

‘He spent most the night dancing with Ms Khayrova, but at one point he was just throwing himself around in the middle of a group of women.’

The former model, who is a British citizen, was previously married to Russian tycoon Dmitry Tsetkov, with whom she shared a £22million mansion on the Wentworth estate in Surrey as well as houses in London worth £18million.

The couple also owned properties in both Dubai and Cyprus alongside their car, jewellery and art collections worth millions of pounds.

Their very acrimonious divorce hit the headlines in the summer after Miss Khayrova was accused of hiding substantial assets from her ex-husband, including her £1million handbag collection.

She was previously seen in court in 2022 when ordered to pay £117,000 that she owed to the company who installed fountains in her Surrey home.

Sayh cheese! The Russian high society temptress is endowed with both beauty and brains. Cruise spent most of the night dancing with  her

The socialite’s defence was that her estranged husband was responsible and on the ‘Kremlin’s most-wanted list’.

Cruise, meanwhile, has not been publicly linked to anyone since his divorce from his third wife, Katie Holmes, 15 years ago, though he was recently rumoured to be dating Shakira as well as his Mission: Impossible co-star Hayley Atwell.

Though tight-lipped about his love-life, the American scientologist is always keen to discuss his fondness for Britain – where, he believes, ‘everyone is so pleasant’ and ‘well-mannered’.

The actor explained: ‘I guess I’m an Anglophile. I spend a lot of time in Britain and that’s not just for work reasons. I just love being here.’

Asistió a tres eventos de alto perfil en un día en 2021: en la foto, Goodwood, Wimbledon y la final de fútbol de la Eurocopa. Incluso celebró su fiesta de cumpleaños número 60 en los Cotswolds, junto a David Beckham, James Corden y Gordon Ramsay.

¿Quizás ahora la estrella tenga una excusa conveniente para pasar más tiempo en este lado del Atlántico?
