Vanessa Kirby has revealed she was stunned by Tom Cruise relationship rumours.

The Crown star became linked to the actor while the pair were shooting the upcoming instalment of Mission: Impossible - Fallout last year.

Kirby said that she was stunned when reports suggested that she was married to the 56-year-old Hollywood actor after she was spotted kissing Cruise on set.

In an interview with Marie Claire UK, Kirby said: “Even though the (film) crew were there, it was all (in the tabloids) like, ‘The next wife falls at his feet.’

The most disconcerting thing was the people I didn’t think would believe it, did, and they were texting my boyfriend, asking, ‘Are you OK?’.

“I don’t think they believe anything they read now because you just can’t. None of it is real. To be getting married to him? Not even a snog, it was marriage.

The British actress touched on her on-set relationship with the American star.

Kirby said: “I tried to just meet the man really, and the man is so different to any stuff you’d read, because it always is

“It helped me to see that all the stuff that gets written is just such a load of b******* about everyone.”

Talking up about her experience with fame, Kirby insisted she is still a blue to go unnoticed in public.

“It is a weird feeling. I definitely don’t feel it yet. I’ve been lucky because I barely get recognized, and I keep my relationship super private.

“(My boyfriend is) just completely wonderful and he’s my best friend, so that’s… I guess you can either choose to talk about it or not. If you talk about it, it becomes interesting to people, but if you don’t, then it’s not.”
