Tom Cruise Surprises Diners at Mexican Restaurant

TOM Cruise sure knows how to shock.

The Hollywood movie star surprised diners at subterranean Mexican hideaway La Esquina Wednesday, showing up after midnight for a late meal following his appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

“He was there with a bodyguard and two friends,” a source told New York Post gossip column Page Six.

“Everyone asked for photos, which he agreed to do, and posed with fans.”

Recent reports claimed Tom’s Lone Ranger star pal Armie Hammer’s wife, Elizabeth, is playing matchmaker — and plans to friend Cruise — who’s divorced from Katie Holmes — a woman ASAP.

“She’s a very busybody matchmaker type and is seeking out the perfect woman for Tom, and she doesn’t have to be famous, either,” a source told RadarOnline.

“Tom is on the hunt for a new girl and appreciates Elizabeth’s efforts.”

Armie, 27, and Cruise, 51, met via director Guy Ritchie when Cruise was considering a role in his movie The Man From U.N.C.L.E., in which Armie stars.

“They really hit it off and he and his wife became Tom’s besties. Elizabeth thinks the world of Tom and can’t stand to see him alone,” said the source.

“But whether his Scientology cronies approve of Elizabeth’s match-making attempts remains to be seen. Tom is open to anything at the moment.”
