We’ve never quite got to grips with the fact that Cher once dated Tom Cruise, but the 61-year-old singer seems determined to ram the details down our throats – she’s spoken about the romance on Oprah. The odd couple met at a charity event in the mid-80s, just as Tom was becoming a big star. “I was crazy about him,” says Cher. “He was shy. He said he felt like such a boob [hee hee, she said boob!] in school and nobody talked to him. We went on a date once for dinner in a New York restaurant and the waitress was from his old school. He told me she never talked to him back in school, but now he was recognised he got all her attention. It could have been a great big romance because I was crazy for him.” Oh, if only it has lasted – the world would be a very different place!
Cher dated Tom!
