Chatting about the movie with The Independent, Hayley got candid about the rumors that surrounded the two as they were filming the flick.

Hayley actually shared that she viewed Tom, and their director Christopher McQuarrie as “two uncles.”

“I would be like, ‘Ooh, there’s some weird rumours, and it feels base, it feels a little dirty, it feels grubby, it’s not what I’m about,’” she added. “Why are things being assumed or projected onto me about my relationship with my work colleague and boss?”

Hayley does admit that the rumors were “upsetting” because “it’s involving people in my actual life, my personal life, who have to be on the receiving end of that. It becomes invasive.”

Just recently, Hayley and Tom were in Sydney with a few other cast members for a huge premiere for the movie. See all the pics!
