Tom Cruise wants to star in ‘old-school romantic comedy’ with Taylor Swift

Tom Cruise wanted to make a movie with Taylor Swift.

As Tom has previously expressed his desire to work with Taylor on movie Digger’s London premiere, saying that it would be “amazing” to team up with her.

Now, the action star is interested in playing opposite the pop superstar in an "old-school, age-gap rom-com," as per Radar Online.

An industry source revealed to the outlet, "Tom genuinely wants to find something he could do with Taylor, and an old-school romantic comedy is one idea that has been talked about.”

It continued, "There is talk he is thinking it should be an age-gap romance featuring their characters, but done in a very 'woke' way. The thinking would be a sophisticated, funny throwback to the kind of star-driven romantic comedies Hollywood used to make regularly, but with a modern edge.”

"Nothing is formally in development and there isn't a script or deal. Tom simply thinks Taylor has extraordinary instincts and believes there could be something interesting in putting two people from very different corners of entertainment together," the source further added.

It is worth noting here that the two Hollywood celebrities have been crossing paths more often recently as they were spotted together at Arrowhead stadium to watch Taylor's husband, Travis Kelce play football.

"She was schooling me on football... for real. She was bringing the football. First of all, she's a genius. I've been following her since she was a kid. Everybody there, all their friends, they're a beautiful couple and magical in their own right... and everybody there in that booth," Tom revealed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
