LONDON:

Tom Cruise’s former lovers Nicole Kidman and Penelope Cruz are to star in a movie together.

Nicole, who was married to Cruise for 11 years, and Penelope, who dated Tom for three years following his divorce in 2001, are reportedly being lined up to co-star in a movie directed by Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar.

Penelope is said to be thrilled at the prospect of sharing a screen with Nicole. She said: “Pedro knows I love and admire Nicole’s work so much. She’s a great woman.”

Tom is now preparing to marry actress Katie Holmes next month. Nicole, who has two adopted children with Tom, is now married to country singer Keith Urban, while Penelope recently split from her Sahara co-star Matthew McConaughey.
