Tom Cruise takes 26-year-old Queens beauty on date: report

“Jack Reacher” star Tom Cruise is smitten with a 26-year-old restaurant manager who works at Lower East Side hot spot Beauty & Essex, according to a report.

Cruise met Manhattan restaurant manager and Queens native Cynthia Jorge Dec 16., after Cruise dined at the restaurant and Jorge “handed the superstar her card,” reports In Touch.

The report further says that Cruise, 50, later “called Beauty & Essex at least twice trying to track down Cynthia — and was ‘put on hold for a very long time!’ according to [an] insider.” But, “the insistent actor got a message to her.”

Cruise, 50, was spotted the next night at Chinatown club Le Baron, where In Touch says he arrived with Jorge, and “was mesmerized” by Jorge, with her “hair in a bun… tight black pants and [looking] gorgeous.”

“They did the salsa. He took her in his arms and spun her around the dance floor,” a witness tells the weekly. “Tom looked like a pro… At one point, they began grinding together. It was straight out of ‘Dirty Dancing.’ Tom seemed to be in his own world, completely smitten.”

The report adds, “At the end of their night together, Cynthia was treated to one of the action star’s signature grand romantic gestures: Tom had made sure a private car was waiting outside the club to get her home safely,” and quotes a source as saying, “It was obvious… He’s enamored with this woman.”

Page Six exclusively reported that Cruise hit Le Baron last week, bypassing son Connor’s DJing gig at the Darby. “It was great to see a big movie star hang out in the pit of Chinatown with the arty crowd,” a source told us. “Tom arrived at around 11:30 p.m. and stayed till closing. He was dancing the whole time.”

The source said Cruise was hanging with owner Andre Saraiva and artists Nate Lowman and Aaron Young, adding, “It was like boys’ night out.”
