Tom in awe of 'beautiful' Penelope
Tom Cruise has spoken for the first time about his relationship with new girlfriend Penelope Cruz.
The 39-year-old star compared her to Audrey Hepburn saying "she's beautiful".
He makes his comments in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine, in which he defends his Scientology religion.
Scientology was reportedly part of the reason he split from second wife Nicole Kidman earlier this year.
He said: "Cruise and Cruz. I thought, 'My God, I'm your boyfriend. You're my girlfriend.
"As a person and on film, she invites you in and she's incredibly romantic. And yet real, you know?
"She's beautiful. She's a very skilled actress, but has an effortless quality about her.
"You look at Audrey Hepburn. She had that kind of elegance and yet was accessible."
Speaking of Scientology, he said it had kept him on the straight and narrow since he was 24.
