‘Risky Business’ actress Rebecca De Mornay gushes over ex Tom Cruise

Rebecca De Mornay has nothing but love for her ex — and former co-star — Tom Cruise.

“I’m really proud of him,” she gushed in a recent exclusive interview with Page Six while promoting her new movie “Saint Claire.”

“I’m really, really proud of him,” she added of the actor, whom she dated for nearly three years after meeting on the set of “Risky Business” in 1982.

The coming-of-age teen comedy film, which is considered by many critics as one of the best films of 1983, launched both of their careers.

Of course, Cruise, 63, went on to have a string of successes over the next several decades, including “Top Gun,” “Jerry Maguire” and the “Mission: Impossible” film franchise.

De Mornay likened her ex to a “major chord” while describing herself as a “minor chord.”

“He’s like, ‘I am ‘Top Gun,’ and that’s what America really wanted and so he’s fulfilled it.”

“He is a brilliant, brilliant interpreter of what the zeitgeist is,” she added. “I’m really, really proud of knowing him from when we were in the suburbs of Chicago [filming ‘Risky Business’], and knowing what he wanted and where it is now.”

“We started this together and look what he did with it,” she marveled.

Unlike Cruise, the actress, 65, purposefully shied away from glamorous roles after “Risky Business.” Following the release of the 1983 film, she took on a gritty role in “Runaway Train.” Her other credits include “Backdraft,” Marvel’s “Jessica Jones” and a delicious turn as a psychotic nanny in “The Hand that Rocks the Cradle.”

Her latest appearance is in “Saint Clare,” a thriller starring Bella Thorne as an avenging serial killer who murders misbehaving men.

De Mornay said she agreed to the part because “it’s very rare that I read scripts about a female serial killer who’s obsessed with Joan of Arc, which I thought was just brilliant.”

“I just wanted to be a support to this project,” she continued.

She admitted to not seeing parallels to other misbehaving males in the news right now, like the late convicted sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein, when she read the script.

“I never even thought of that,” De Mornay confessed. “It’s freaky that that would come into it…Like, I didn’t see that coming when I read it.”

“Saint Clare” is available to stream now.
