Tom Cruise andRisky Business—the iconic pairing that put him on the map. But behind those scenes (and that unforgettable underwear dance) lies a sizzling chapter Cruise would rather it stay in the past. Turns out, the actor’s chemistry with Rebecca De Mornay wasn’t just for the cameras; their on-screen spark fired up a real-life romance—and let’s just say, it was way more intense than anyone could’ve guessed.
With Cruise’s rise to fame and a secret romance that burned through theRisky Businessset, this off-camera fling was just as daring as the movie itself. Sure, Cruise may want fans to forget, but hey, the allure of 80s Hollywood drama’s impossible to resist—even for the most die-hard Cruise fans.
Curtis Armstrong Spills on Tom Cruise’s Secret Affair with Rebecca De Mornay
“Tom’s going to be really upset.”Or so jokedCurtis Armstrong,Tom Cruise’sRisky Businessco-star, about the actor’s Bible-studying image clashing with apassionate on-set affair with Rebecca De Mornay.

In the book, Armstrong recalls a surprising scene: late-night hallways filled with young women waiting outside Cruise’s room, eager for a visit. One girl even slipped in while another casually exited, leaving the impression that the young actor was something of a “time management”pro, as Armstrong humorously noted:
It’s no secret that Tom engaged in an intense affair during the shooting with De Mornay. Returning late one night, I found three or four young girls — late teens, I suspect — lined up in the hall outside of Tom’s room.
I remember thinking ‘Tom’s going to be really upset if these hot girls interfere with his Bible reading’. So I asked them, with all the stern gravitas of my 28 years, if there was something I could do to help them.
Sparking curiosity about the young Cruise’s off-screen persona, Curtis Armstrong wrote:
This was a young man who knew something about time management and understood how to successful juggle Bible study with b**wjobs.
Risky Business, directed by Paul Brickman, turned Cruise into an ’80s heartthrob, with his iconic dance in a pink shirt, but it also came with its share of off-screen buzz. The film follows Cruise’s character, Joel, a teenager who hires Lana (played by De Mornay) for a wild night when his parents leave town.
