Awkward Red Carpet Moments Spark Speculation About Possible Tension Between the Two Stars

Awkward Encounters Go Viral

August 11, 2025: Social media has reignited a wave of speculation about Nicole Kidman and Ana de Armas after old footage of their red carpet appearances resurfaced. In several clips, fans noticed what they claim are “frosty” or “awkward” exchanges between the two actresses, fueling gossip about a possible rift.

The Tom Cruise Connection

The rumors center on their mutual connection to Hollywood star Tom Cruise—Kidman’s ex-husband and de Armas’ former Knives Out co-star. While neither actress has publicly addressed any issues, online commentators have been quick to link their interactions to Cruise, with some suggesting lingering tensions from past associations.

Public Appearances Under Scrutiny

One particularly talked-about moment was a red carpet event where Kidman appeared to avoid eye contact with de Armas. Another clip showed a brief but seemingly tense exchange between the two. Fans have dissected the videos frame by frame, debating whether it was simply bad timing or a sign of deeper feelings.

No Official Statement from Either Side

Neither Kidman nor de Armas has made any comment about the circulating videos or the speculation. Industry insiders, however, suggest that both women remain professional and focused on their work, dismissing the idea of any personal feud.

The Internet Reacts

On X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok, fan theories continue to flourish. Some users are convinced the moments are harmless and being blown out of proportion, while others are leaning into the drama, crafting elaborate theories about behind-the-scenes tension.
