Ana de Armas has ignited fan criticism after liking an Instagram post mocking Nicole Kidman’s denial of cosmetic procedures. The Cuban actress, linked romantically to Kidman’s ex-husband Tom Cruise, engaged with a since-deleted post captioned, “When you keep it real #nicolekidman,” which tagged a dermal filler brand. Shared via the account Celeb Mess, the post resurfaced on Reddit, prompting backlash.
Fan Reactions
Users slammed de Armas, 36, for the subtle dig at Kidman, 57. One Reddit commenter wrote, “Lol let’s see what she looks like at almost 60,” while others defended aging naturally: “The alternative to aging is dying.” Some tied the drama to de Armas’ rumored relationship with Cruise, 62, quipping, “Dating senior Tom Cruise when Nicole is free… sure, Ana, you’re the winner.” Others praised Kidman’s legacy: “Nicole’s had a 40-year career. Let’s see where Ana’s is in 10.”
Tom Cruise Romance Rumors
De Armas and Cruise, who co-starred in Wasp Network (2019), fueled dating speculation after a Valentine’s Day dinner in London. Recent sightings include a yacht trip in Menorca and helicopter rides with her dogs. A source claims Cruise is “super smitten,” though their relationship remains unofficial. The pair are collaborating on the thriller Deeper with director Doug Liman.
