A source told the Daily News that Cynthia Jorge, Tom Cruise's reported new love interest, previously dated actor Seann William Scott.
Before moving up to the celebrity A-list, Tom Cruiseâs latest love interest had a taste for âAmerican Pie.â
Queens cutie Cynthia Jorge once dated actor Seann William Scott, best known for his role as the party-hearty Steve Stifler in the raunchy movie series, a source who is friendly with the brunette told the Daily News.
Scott announced his engagement to former Victoriaâs Secret model Lindsay Frimodt in March. After Jorge and Scott went their separate ways, she dated another man â" but the pair recently split.
Jorge, 26, was single and eager when Cruise took her out last week in Chelsea.
The friend described Jorge as âreally nice...she doesnât want to be an actress, she just wants to have fun. Sheâs young and single.â
Jorge lost some weight âand then got hot,â the friend said. âShe got prettier.â
Jorge slipped her business card to the âRisky Businessâ star after he dined at Beauty & Essex â" the lower East Side restaurant where she works as manager.
Scott and Jorge first met while she was working in the eatery, another source said.
âShe works at a hot place where she gets to meet people,â the friend said.
The intrigued Cruise, 50, contacted Jorge for a night on the town that included a bit of dirty dancing at the trendy club LeBaron on Mulberry St.
Their date brought the couple just a few subway stops away from the Chelsea home shared by Cruiseâs ex-wife Katie Holmes and their daughter, Suri, 6.
Holmes, 34, dumped her husband of five years this past summer, with a lightning-quick divorce settlement. He was said to be devastated.
Jorge, who stayed home from work Wednesday as media attention mushroomed, remained unavailable for comment Thursday about her brush with greatness. A restaurant employee said Thursday it wasnât clear when she might return to the job.
But a former co-worker was stunned by word of the ambitious womanâs high-profile date.
âIâm surprised she was with Tom Cruise,â the ex-colleague said. âShe was lovely, beautiful to look at. On the inside, that was something else.â
According to E! News, a source close to Cruise said the thrice-married âTop Gunâ star is not dating Jorge.
âHeâs single and will be talking to women â" all of whom he wonât be instantly dating,â the source said.
"Theyâre just friends," another source added.
âCynthia told me they went out for drinks and it was nothing but a casual night out,â a pal told People magazine.
Cruise is more typically linked with Hollywood insiders than denizens of the outer boroughs: His first two ex-wives were actresses Mimi Rogers and Nicole Kidman.
The action hero is currently starring in the just-released thriller âJack Reacher.â
Their Dec. 18 evening ended with Cruise escorting Jorge back to the Queens home where she lives with her mother, according to the friend.
