Hollywood's former golden couple, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, have teamed up once again, this time to sue a luxury cosmetics retailer for reportedly implying that the pair endorsed their products.
The $15-million lawsuit was filed by Tom and Nicole on Thursday against the US subsidiary of French luxury goods company Sephora.
In the advertisement, Cruise and Kidman were pictured alongside text which read: “Tom and Nicole - The red carpet glamour of Hollywood's royal couple never fails to leave us with eyes wide open.”
The pair claim the unauthorised use of their image for the advert had made them “involuntary models without pay,” and that had they truly backed the company’s products, they “would have been paid a very large sum of money”.
Although Tom and Nicole have avoided being seen with, or near, each other at recent media events, the lawsuit against the French conglomerate Moet Hennessey Louis Vuitton, which owns Sephora, proves that they are capable of burying their differences for a common cause.
The pair divorced in February 2001 citing “irreconcilable differences.”
