In this morning’s opener, Lainey was all over Tom Cruise’s tongue work and mentioned Tom’s long-term relationship with Penelope Cruz. But you know who was after Penelope but before Katie Holmes? Sofia Vergara! And I feel like we haven’t really explored that era. It was rumoured that Will Smith set them up. There’s a photo of them together in this compilation and he looks like 80s movie star Tom.
Now that I’ve seen this list of movie stars who f-ck (or don’t) onscreen in The Ringer, I have theories. For example, Dwayne Johnson comes in low on the movie sex scene scale, which fits in with his mix of family-friendly(ish) action movies. The Rock has a big hand as a producer (he often hires the screenwriters) so this is obviously done on purpose. But on his TV show Ballers, which is Entourage for professional sports, he f-cks all the time. He might even show his ass. So I don’t think he has any moral or professional objections to getting down, he just compartmentalizes…
