NEW YORK: Tom Cruise has spent a lot of time lately with Sofia Boutella. But it’s nothing romantic. The gorgeous Algerian actress stars as the title character in the upcoming remake of The Mummy opposite the Mission Impossible action star. While on set, Boutella earned a very sexy nickname: MILF. “They call me mother on set, or MILF because I’m the oldest one on set,” Boutella tells me. “I’m 5,000 years old.” (That said, the acronym could also stand for Mummy I’d Like to [Bleep].) Photos of the 34-year-old Boutella shooting the movie in London show her wrapped in bandages. “We all went to Duane Reade and picked up…bandages and wrapped it around me,” cracked Boutella, who can currently be seen in Star Trek Beyond as the Jennifer Lawrence-inspired character Jaylah. “Dipped it in tea first, you know, to give it like this very Egyptian authentic look.” Boutella gushed about working with Cruise, 54. “He is such a hard worker, he just knows everything,” she said. “I remember being on set with him and he’s like, ‘No, guys, this is a comedic frame.’ I was like, ‘Tom, what the hell is a comedic frame?’ I was like I don’t know any of these things. And then he just teaches me things all the time.” Directed by Alex Kurtzman, The Mummy is set to release in June 2017 and also stars Annabelle Wallis and Russell Crowe. The 1999 version starred Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz. So did Boutella get to lock lips with Cruise? Click the video below to find out what she told us.
