Tom Cruise, in his relentless quest to prove that finding a wife is not an insurmountable challenge for him, has concocted a wish list of exquisite bachelorettes that includes some of Hollywood's most eligible A-list ladies, according to sources close to Globe. The 63-year-old Top Gun star is still nursing his wounds after Ana de Armas, 37, recently ended their whirlwind nine-month romance by kicking him to the curb.
Sources reveal that the Ballerina star felt suffocated by Tom's controlling nature and spooked by their 26-year age difference. Despite Tom's best efforts to make her Mrs. Cruise Number 4, she gave him his walking papers.
However, determined to prove he's not completely undatable, the romantic reject is ready to start anew and is eyeing several high-profile women for his happily-ever-after. "Tom was crushed when things ended with Ana, but he's not the type to wallow in self-pity for too long," an insider divulges. "He's ready to find someone new and he's being very proactive about it."
"He's told his wider circle that he's ready to be set up," the source says. "Ideally, he'd love to be with a woman from British high society, but that's not as easy for him to arrange as someone from the movie business."
Some of the stunning single actresses on his list include Demi Moore, Angelina Jolie, and Jennifer Lopez. "Any of them would be fantastic for him!" says the source. "He's also got his eye on Charlize Theron," the insider adds with a smile. "It didn't go unnoticed when she publicly called for him to join the Fast and Furious franchise alongside her a couple of years ago."
