TOM CRUISE DATED CHER!?! How come this's only being brought to public attention now? Although, news he once romanced a gay icon shouldn't come as a large surprise. Seemingly they got it on 25 years ago when he was 20 and she was "at the height of her fame" at 36. According to Digital Spy: "They split in 1986 when Cruise was forced to move from Los Angeles to Chicago, Illinois after landing a role in the Martin Scorsese film 'The Color Of Money'... Cher is convinced that despite the 16-year age gap, the couple could have become serious if their hectic work schedules hadn't driven them apart." Seemingly all these beans were spilled on Oprah's couch recently, with Cher divulging mid-interview: "He was shy. He said he felt like such a 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." And then he became crazy about aliens... how about that...
