Heather Locklear describes his only date with Tom Cruise as ‘he didn’t quite cut it’

Actress Heather Locklear was on a panel at the ‘90s Con Florida at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, where she was asked about auditioning with Tom Cruise for the same movie. According to People’s report, the actress said that they did an audition for a film together, and she was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m terrible‘.

The actress said jokingly, ‘He’s even worse.’ Neither of them got the part they auditioned for. Talking further about her interaction with Cruise, Locklear said,

So at that time, he was just like this little baby boy that I feel like I was a little bit older, and he ended up coming over to my house with Sean Penn. And they were just nice, but he was very, ‘yes ma’am’ to me, and I was like, ‘Okay, sir.’

She mentioned they went out dancing to Club Lingerie at the time and described Cruise as cute. The actress’ honest confession about going on a date with Tom Cruise was,

He didn’t quite cut it.

The actress described that she was probably the first person to watch Cruise’s dance moves, which the audience witnessed in Risky Business. She added that he did that before the movie, and she was dancing along with him. Locklear recalled that Tom Cruise was very nice to her.

Tom Cruise is ‘not happy’ with Heather Locklear’s comments about their ‘date’

According to reports by InTouch Weekly, Heather Locklear’s comments about a date with Cruise have left the actor fuming for 40 long years. The sources close to the actor shared with the publication,

Tom hasn’t had much luck with women, so to say he was a lame date is pretty embarrassing coming from a bona fide sex symbol.

However, the actor hasn’t had much luck with the ladies lately with his recent failed romances with actress and co-star Hayley Atwell and Russian-born socialite Elsina Khayrova. He was also linked to Shakira and Rebecca Ferguson. The source further added,

It doesn’t help Heather saying unflattering things about him decades after their one date. Yes, they were both very young at the time, but he must have learned a few things since then.

InTouch Weekly reported that Lady Gaga, who recently announced her engagement to Michael Polansky, mesmerised Cruise. The insider added that Cruise fancies Gaga and wasn’t even shy about the fact that he thought that she was phenomenal, but since her engagement announcement, Cruise feels back in the same spot.

The source added that Tom Cruise seems to be in a habit of picking women who are ineligible for him.
