Tom Cruise makes an extravagant purchase as he finds ways to ‘get closer’ to new love interest

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM: Tom Cruise is not someone who resorts to half measures when it comes to his love life. The actor has reportedly spent millions of dollars on a super luxurious penthouse in London as he gets closer to actress Victoria Canal.

The ‘Top Gun’ star paid $233 million out of his estimated $600 million fortune for the property that is close to One Hyde Park, as reported by RadarOnline.com.

Tom Cruise considers himself a 'Londoner'

An insider spilled that Tom Cruise initially lived on $430,000 weekly rent at the property but now “took the jump” because he “considers himself a Londoner”.

The source shared, “Tom has been living in London basically full-time for the last few years due to his filming schedule.”

The tipster continued, “He’s been spending so much time in the city and was spending so much on renting his penthouse that he finally decided it was time to buy."

“He now considers himself semi-English, and a lot of his pals are saying it’s no coincidence his penthouse purchase comes as he gets closer to Victoria.”

Tom Cruise admires Victoria Canal for 'overcoming' disability

An insider disclosed that Tom Cruise and 25-year-old actress Victoria Canal have been spending “more and more time together” as the actor “practically worships” the way she has “overcome her disability”.

Canal does not have her right arm because of the amniotic band syndrome she was born with.

The insider explained, “Scientologists talk a lot about how they help people overcome difficulties and trauma, and they have a lot of admiration for those who can do that, so Victoria certainly fits the bill that way.”

Tom Cruise’s new property dissed as 'vulgar symbol' of excessive wealth

About the new property, it has been said that it comes with a double-height formal reception with five en-suite bedrooms, an eight-meter ceiling, a huge glass fireplace, Gaggenau appliances, a large marble countertop, and a Japanese-inspired kitchen with black forest granite countertops and floors.

Not only that, the building also features advanced-technology panic rooms and bulletproof glass.

However, as per architectural historian Professor Gavin Stamp from Cambridge University, the building is a “vulgar symbol” of “the hegemony of excessive wealth, an over-sized gated community for people with more money than sense, arrogantly plonked down in the heart of London”.

Another critic has asserted that its “vibe is junior Arab dictator”.
