Tom Cruise sent Sofia Boutella a ‘get well’ gift hamper
Sofia Boutella received a "get well" hamper of gifts from co-star Tom Cruise.
The 35-year-old actress stars as Princess Ahmanet opposite Tom’s Nick Morton in the upcoming action horror movie ‘The Mummy’, and has said that when she fell ill during the pre-production stages of the film, the 54-year-old actor was quick to send her a "care package" of things to help get her back on her feet.
Sofia revealed: "He’s so nurturing. When I got sick during pre-production [of ‘The Mummy’], he sent me a care package with flowers and candles saying, ‘Get well soon.’ He also told me to come to whatever production meetings I liked. What a generous, beautiful way to work."
The brunette beauty is also set to star in upcoming thriller film ‘Atomic Blonde’ alongside Charlize Theron, and Sofia – who has already spent time off-set with 41-year-old Charlize to bond – admits she is "blown away" by the "phenomenal" talent of ‘The Huntsman: Winter’s War’ actress.
She gushed: "[‘Atomic Blonde’] is such a strong, female-led movie, with Charlize Theron kicking ass. Charlize and I went for lunch in LA and had such a great chat; she’s so intelligent. I was blown away by what a phenomenal actress she is."
When she’s not starring in Hollywood blockbusters, Sophia is also a model and dancer who has worked as a backing dancer for the likes of Madonna – in her ‘Confessions’ tour – and Rihanna.
Sophia – who combined her passions of dance and drama in the movie ‘StreetDance 2’ – has even cited the ‘Material Girl’ hitmaker as an inspiration.
She told Net-A-Porter’s digital magazine The Edit: "She is so driven. She pushes people to be the best they can be and takes everybody with her. She inspired me to be confident in myself and my choices […] and told me to never let go of the things I believe in."
