After most global newspapers speculated that the famous American actor Tom Cruise missed the 95th Academy Awards due to filming his movie Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning in the United Kingdom, it was revealed that the real reason was to avoid an awkward encounter with his ex-wife, Australian star Nicole Kidman.
The British newspaper "The Daily Mail" reported, citing a close source to the actor, that despite their divorce 20 years ago, he never wants to face Nicole Kidman or be in the same place as her.
Tom Cruise missed the 2023 Academy Awards ceremony even though his latest film, Top Gun: Maverick, was nominated for six awards, including Best Picture, winning only one award: Best Sound.
