Ana de Armas is returning the praise to Tom Cruise.
At Tuesday night’s premiere of “Ballerina” at the TLC Chinese Theater in Hollywood, star de Armas said it is “unbelievable” that Cruise made the effort to publicly endorse the film. She also made sure to emphasize that his support of cinema does not begin and end with the “John Wick” spinoff.
“You know what, he supports every movie,” de Armas said. “He really wants the industry and cinema to do well and [wants] people going to the theaters. We’re working together, so he got to see ‘Ballerina’ and he actually really liked it. He loved the ‘John Wicks.'”
She continued, “It is very special that someone like him is supporting [‘Ballerina’]. It is really special in general to have other actors and people supporting each other. We can do well all together.”
While on his press tour for “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning,” Cruise was vocal about his support of “Ballerina” and gushed about the dedication he’s seen from de Armas, Keanu Reeves and the entire “John Wick” team.
“‘John Wick,’ I love that franchise and what those guys do,” Cruise told AP. “I know what it takes to create these kinds of stories and do it. And now they have ‘Ballerina’ coming out with Ana, that’s outstanding.”
“Ballerina,” which takes place between the third and fourth “John Wick” film, follows de Armas as an “assassin trained in the traditions of the Ruska Roma organization [who] sets out to seek revenge after her father’s death,” according to the official logline.
“Ballerina” hits theaters June 6.
