At the British premiere of the movie "Vanilla Sky," stars Tom Cruise and Penelope Cruz spent an hour talking with many of the 2,000 assembled fans — and borrowing their cell phones.
"We were just having fun, calling up peoples' friends and family and leaving messages on their answerphones. It was great," said 39-year-old Cruise.
Cruz, 27, braved the chill in a floor-skimming A-line crimson satin skirt.
Cruise said their relationship didn't start on the set, when he still was married to Nicole Kidman.
"Penelope is an enormous talent, and I have admired her from her other films," he said. "But in terms of our personal life, nothing happened on set."
"Now is a great time in my life and I'm very satisfied with the way things are right now," he added.
