A Russian tycoon, Dmitry Tsvetkov, who survived assassination attempts in the UK, found himself in an unexpected twist when discussions about Tom Cruise playing him in a movie led to the revelation that the Hollywood actor was reportedly dating Tsvetkov’s ex-wife, Elsina Khayrova.

Tsvetkov, engaged in a contentious divorce battle with Khayrova, daughter of a reputed political ally of Vladimir Putin, received a scathing judgment from a High Court judge who deemed her “guilty of sustained duplicity.” The divorce proceedings included allegations of lying about a handbag collection worth nearly £1 million.

In a bizarre turn of events, Khayrova, despite the condemnation from the High Court, has allegedly become romantically linked to Tom Cruise, who is 25 years her senior. Reports from the Daily Mail detailed their apparent connection, with witnesses describing them as “inseparable” and Cruise appearing “besotted” with Khayrova at a party in central London.

Tsvetkov, who had entertained the idea of turning his tumultuous life story into a film, expressed surreal disbelief at the situation. He revealed that a Hollywood producer friend suggested making a movie about his life, with Tom Cruise playing the lead role. Now, he finds the alleged relationship between Cruise and his ex-wife an unexpected distraction.

Reflecting on Cruise potentially portraying him in the film, Tsvetkov remarked that Cruise matched his height and weight, and despite the age difference, he would “love him to play me.” The tycoon, living in fear for his life due to past assassination attempts linked to his business dealings in Russia, expressed the hope that Cruise approached the relationship with his “eyes wide open.”

Tsvetkov acknowledged the unexpected attention brought by the rumored romance, providing a welcome diversion from discussions about Russian sanctions and his personal security concerns. The Telegraph attempted to contact both Khayrova and Cruise for comments on the reported relationship.
