'To him, any partner is an extension of him!' The control issue that cost Tom Cruise his relationship with Hayley Atwell

Tom Cruise, the action megastar known for hanging off airplanes and sprinting atop buildings, appears to have slipped on the tightrope of love. "His reputation just isn't great," an insider revealed, as reported by Radar Online. Cruise's ship of romance with Marvel's Hayley Atwell hit the proverbial iceberg and sank into the chilly waters of Splitsville.

Steering Off Course: Hayley Atwell Pulls the Plug

Rumors of Cruise and Hayley Atwell's liaison ignited like wildfire when the two worked together on a "Mission: Impossible" installment. However, as the close source insightfully pointed out, Atwell couldn't keep up with Cruise's "controlling ways." "Women find him way too intense," the source explained. The actress reportedly "pulled the plug" after two years, leaving Cruise once again moored to the dock of loneliness.

A Match Made in Hollywood, Unmade by Control

As if being dubbed "Hollywood's least eligible bachelor" wasn't enough, Cruise also has a less-than-desirable reputation due to his association with the Church of Scientology. "To him, any partner is an extension of him — and his brand — so he's known to be very micromanaging," the insider concluded. It seems that the actor's desire for control extends beyond the film set and into his personal life, with ramifications for his relationships.

After his breakup with Atwell, what's next for Cruise? Will he find a way to balance love and life without resorting to the control that seems to have marred his past relationships? Or will he continue to be Hollywood's least eligible bachelor, constantly in search of his elusive better half?

Only time will tell. But for now, it's back to the drawing board for the star whose love life is as unpredictable as his on-screen stunts.
