Ana de Armas sparks backlash with shady move toward Tom Cruise's ex Nicole Kidman as dating rumors swirl
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Ana de Armas is drawing sharp criticism online for liking an Instagram post that mocked Nicole Kidman's appearance and hinted at cosmetic surgery.
The post, which many branded as "ageist," didn't sit well with fans, especially in light of the 'Blonde' actress' rumored romance with Kidman's ex-husband, Tom Cruise.
Social media users quickly called out de Armas for taking aim at a veteran actress, with many defending Kidman's decades-long career and calling the jab both disrespectful and unnecessary.
Ana de Armas likes an Instagram post targeting her boyfriend’s ex, Nicole Kidman
Captioned “When you keep it real #nicolekidman,” the Instagram post, which Ana de Armas liked, featured a close-up of Nicole Kidman and tagged a dermal filler brand as the location, implying that the 'Moulin Rouge!' star's appearance wasn’t entirely natural. The post reignited long-standing speculation about the actress’s seemingly age-defying looks.
Despite years of rumors suggesting she has had cosmetic work done, Kidman has consistently denied going under the knife. In a 2007 interview with Marie Claire, the Oscar winner stated, “To be honest, I am completely natural,” attributing her appearance to a healthy lifestyle.
In addition to her glowing complexion, the 58-year-old has been known for experimenting with various hairstyles that often give her a more youthful look. Most recently, she embraced her natural curls in public, a move that came after she faced a wig mishap during an appearance at the Cannes Film Festival.
Internet sees Ana de Armas’ move as a disrespectful jab at Nicole Kidman
The controversial Instagram post originally appeared on the page Celeb Mess but quickly made its way to Reddit, where Ana de Armas’ interaction with it sparked outrage. Users flooded the comments section, slamming the 37-year-old for what many viewed as a disrespectful jab at Nicole Kidman.
One scoffed, “Lol let’s see what she looks like at almost 60,” taking aim at de Armas' youth. Another slammed, "Ana De Armas is really a horrible person."
Another chimed in, criticizing the ageist tone writing, “It fascinates me when people in their 20s and 30s are rude about people aging. Like where do you think you’re headed? And do you know what the alternative to aging is?”
Others pointed out the awkwardness of the situation, given that Kidman was previously married to de Armas’ rumored boyfriend, Cruise. “Dating a senior tom cruise when nicole is free... but sure ana, you're the winner here lmao,” one wrote.
An individual remarked, “Having a one sided internet beef with your boyfriend's wife from 20 years ago this openly is just absurd lol.”
Some users also questioned de Armas’ talent, with one writing, “Looks fade, talent doesn’t. Nicole’s had a 40 year career. Let’s see where Ana’s is in 10.”
Another bluntly stated, “Nicole Kidman has more talent, beauty, and grace than she ever will have.”
