Tom Cruise has a very good French girlfriend. And like him, she also knows beautiful people. It must be said that she is a woman of power. She is Minister of Culture. This great, unsuspected friend of the American actor is indeed her, Rachida Data. On July 26, she personally presented him with the insignia of Knight of Arts and Letters: “His filming of Mission Impossible in Paris in 2017 magnificently showcased our capital. His passionate defense of movie theaters inspires all lovers of the big screen”she then commented.
Tom Cruise and Rachida Dati, unsuspected BFFs
That day, Tom, a true Francophile, and Rachida posed arm in arm, a big smile on their lips. Something to amuse and amaze Internet users. Who will be even more so when they discover that these two are really friends. “We had seen each other two or three times before and we sometimes send each other messages.”said the minister and mayor of the 7th arrondissement of Paris to Gala.
Rachida Dati, the friend of Hollywood stars
In 2022, she had requested permission to screen his film Top Gun : Maverick to Invalids. A preview charity session for the benefit of “wounded soldiers and bereaved families of the armies”. “At the time, I got his sister’s number and he called me back. He accepted”confided Rachida. Which added that Tom Cruise also had “allowed students in classes in my district (7th arrondissement of Paris) to come and watch the filming of Mission: Impossible in Paris. A rare occurrence.” The capital was at the heart of the sixth opus of the saga, Falloutwhich was filmed in 2017.
Close to Tom, but not only that. Rachida Dati is having a blast in her role as Minister of Culture, a position she has held since January 2024, and which allows her to meet many personalities. During the last Cannes festival, she made a few friends by appearing very complicit alongside Kevin Costner (whom she also made a knight of Arts and Letters) or Richard Gere, or by kissing to Selena Gomez.
