Tom Cruise and Lindsay Lohan dating?

The troubled and talented Lindsay Lohan

She started as a promising child star, but nobody could have predicted how things would go from there.  

Tom Cruise, 52, and Lindsay Lohan, 28, are both currently in London, and as they explore the city, they have been exploring each other, according to a new report.

“Lindsay has been craving the security and sophistication that comes with dating an older man, so she couldn’t believe her luck when she ran into her old crush [in London],” a source told OK! magazine. “She’s head over heels.”

The two exchanged numbers on Oct. 7 at Chiltern Firehouse in London, says the mag, after flirting all night.

If the pairing seems odd, you’re not alone in thinking so. However, according to OK!, they’ve been linked before; she auditioned in 2005 for a role opposite Tom in "Mission Impossible: III" when she was just 18. The mag claims that the audition was actually a cover for a girlfriend audition, and that Katie Holmes, 35, ended up winning the “part.”

That said, Lindsay is apparently down with whatever shady business Tom is allegedly involved in when it comes to his love life, because she reportedly “gushed” to OK!‘s source that Tom is the “sexiest man alive.”

This isn’t just a love connection, though; Lindsay thinks that Tom will be able to revive her struggling career, and Tom thinks that “Lindsay can definitely help him relax and have more fun.”
