Cruise's on-screen chemistry with his "Risky Business" costar was not just for the cameras. Though De Mornay was in a relationship with actor Harry Dean Stanton, she and Cruise started an intense affair during the production of the 1983 film. The pair's "Risky Business" costar Curtis Armstrong revealed in his memoir "Revenge of the Nerd" that the dynamic on set was awkward at points.
"I suspect that most of Harry Dean's great qualities were lost on Tom, who, I think, was beginning to regard him as a guest overstaying his welcome. It must have been a little galling to have your heart set on f*cking your costar, and just when you think you're starting to make headway, her significant other comes popping up out of a trap like a lanky, amiable Banquo's ghost," Armstrong said (via The Hollywood Reporter).
De Mornay and Cruise continued to have a relationship until around 1985. In a 2018 interview with Celebrity Page, De Mornay opened up about her romance with the "Top Gun" star, telling the outlet, "I will say that I thought he was very annoying when we first started [filming] . . . He came to grow on me because we wound up together for two and a half years after that film."
