Will Smith’s rocky road to redemption is looking brighter — but his old pal Tom Cruise isn’t ready to jump on board.
“Will has approached Tom several times, trying to reconnect and see if they can hang out and brainstorm on some projects together,” a source spilled.
The Mission Impossible star, 60, is steering clear of the Oscar winner, 54, who has faced a barrage of criticism over the last few months – and it’s not just him that Tom is giving a wide berth!
According to insiders, Cruise has no intention of getting involved in Smith’s troubles and won’t risk his own reputation being tarnished.
He may have some sympathy, but Cruise isn’t willing to take a chance on being dragged down by association.
“Tom is still very wary of any Hollywood friendships. He likes his reclusive lifestyle in the United Kingdom,” the insider revealed, adding, “He doesn’t want to get sucked back into the Hollywood scene — especially by way of Will Smith. He’s still kryptonite.”
