Cher has given her former Eighties flame Tom Cruise a big thumbs up in the bedroom department – and says he is on her top five list of lovers.
In a revealing chat with Andy Cohen on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, the 67-year-old singer gushed: ‘I had just the greatest lovers ever,’ before clarifying: ‘Not a long list. It’s just a good list.’
The iconic songstress, who claims to have turned down the likes of Elvis Presley and Marlon Brando in the past, was quizzed by Cohen about her fling with Cruise back in the Eighties, long before his marriage to first wife Mimi Rogers and before he hit the bigtime.

‘He was in the Top 5,’ Cher boldly proclaimed when grilled by the cheeky host.
Indeed Cher does have some rather impressive names on her ‘list’, having been linked to the likes of Val Kilmer, Gene Simmons, Warren Beatty, Eric Clapton, Michael Bolton and Tommy Lee during her illustrious music career.
She also said previously on Letterman during a November 2010 interview that she came close to sleeping with Elvis Presley and Marlon Brando, but regrets turning them down.
Cher’s first marriage was to Sonny Bono in 1969, to whom she gave birth to Chaz Bono (previously Chastity Bono).
That marriage ended in 1975, and days later the songstress married rock musician Gregg Allman, co-founder of The Allman Brothers Band.
In 1979 Cher and Allman divorced and it wasn’t until 2012 that Cher was rumored to have intentions to marry again.
This time, it was said, she planned to wed Hell’s Angel Tim Medvetz, 24 years her junior – but one of Cher’s reps told Gossip Cop at the time that the rumor was ‘total b.s.’
On Thursday night following her Bravo interview, Cher stepped into a uniquely eclectic gladiator-inspired ensemble, featuring chain mail and leather, to attend New York’s Marquee Club where she promoted her new single Woman’s World and helped celebrate NYC Pride Week.
Her outfit featured a broad-shouldered gold sequined piece that looked like it was inspired by gladiator armour.
A gold top beneath it appeared to be made of chain-mail and the singer’s arms were glad in fishnet stocking fabric.
Dressing down: After a big day and night on Thursday, Cher donned a relatively simple all-black ensemble in NYC on Friday as she continued to promote her new album, ICON
The Believe star added a black leather pants-skirt ensemble, again resembling something from gladiator times.
Her black chunky don’t-mess-with-me boots were gold-studded to match her upper-half.
Cher let her famous wavy dark tresses flow naturally and accessorised with a gold and silver crown-like piece to match the rest of her outfit.

On Friday, Cher was spotted out again in New York, and wore a relatively tame all-black ensemble.

Of course Cher is not the first to dish the dirt on the Tom Cruise experience of late – Heather Locklear recently spoke of how he once embarrassed her with his dodgy dance moves when she went on a date him back in the Eighties.
The actress told ContactMusic.com that Cruise started performing a dance similar to the one he does in Risky Business, ‘doing the splits’.
‘You just kind of stand there and don’t know what to do. Do you dance around him? So, I was like, ‘I’ll just sit down,’ Heather said.
