Tom Cruise has apparently caught the Shakira bug and is itching to make her his leading lady. The plot thickens after the dynamic duo crossed paths at the Miami Grand Prix last Sunday, looking positively dapper in front of the cameras and engaging in what can only be described as an epic conversation marathon.
Now, before we go any further, let's just say Shakira's fans aren't exactly rolling out the red carpet for Mr. Cruise. Oh no, their reaction is more like a comedic explosion of disbelief and hilarity. They're shouting from the rooftops, "Hey, Tom, how about you take a hike?!"

TMZ reported that there's some chemistry between them -- so, it would seem they hit it off ... enough so for him to send her flowers post-meeting, which he reportedly did.
Of course, both of them are single and unattached at the moment ... especially Shakira, who just went through a nasty public split with her longtime partner and soccer star Gerard Pique -- who cheated on her with a younger, less-famous woman ... who he's currently dating.
Not just that, but Tom and Shakira aren't too far off in age -- she's 46 and he's 60 ... and they're both in the upper echelon of stardom. Plus, as PS notes, she's not taller than him.
On paper, you'd think they'd be a great match, but Twitter certainly doesn't like the pairing ... and they're making it known in droves. Users are screaming into the void in hopes Shakira will hear them. The message being ... please don't get mixed up with this guy, Shak.
One tweeter wrote, "SHAKIRA! LISTEN TO ME! HE'S TRYING TO RECRUIT YOU INTO SCIENTOLOGY! DON'T GO OUT WITH HIM! LISTEN TO ME! SHAKIRA!!" Another chirped, "'Get away from her' and 'stay away from her' trending because there are reports tom cruise wants to date shakira is sending me." Obviously, in reference to the collective freak-out.
Here's the deal: these two are not your average Joe and Jane. They are seasoned adults who are well aware of the whispers and rumors surrounding their every move. Trust us, they've got their finger on the pulse of each other's reputations.
So, if Shakira happens to feel a spark and wants to dip her toes into the Cruise waters, who are we to deny her that chance?
Love, my friends, knows no bounds. It can be a wild and unpredictable journey, filled with unexpected twists and turns. And hey, if these two icons feel a connection and want to give it a shot, who are we to stand in their way?
So let's loosen our grip on the snarky comments and give these two a moment to explore whatever destiny has in store for them. After all, life's too short to stifle potential romance. Who knows, we might just witness a match made in Hollywood heaven. So, Tom and Shakira, take the leap if you dare, and may the love winds blow in your favor!
