Is Nazanin Boniadi Tom Cruise's New Girlfriend? That is the question everyone is asking since the 32 year-old British-Iranian actress has been linked to fellow actor and Scientologist Tom Cruise. Nazanin Boniadi is also a Scientologist. You may recognize her from her acting career. She has been on popular shows such as General Hospital, and has made appearances on How I met Your Mother, and worked alongside George Clooney in a Nespresso commercial.

However, Nazanine Boniadi has a lot more going on than her looks, acting career, and who she is dating. Before pursuing a career in acting Boniadi got her Bachelor’s degree, with honors, in Biological Sciences from UC Irvine (UCI). She even won an award for her cancer treatment research.

As if being smart, beautiful, and successful wasn’t enough, Nazanin Boniadi is also an activist. She is an official spokeswoman for Amnesty International USA (AIUSA). Boniadi focuses specifically on bringing awareness and justice to Iranian youth, women and prisoners of conscience. Watch the video from ABC to find out: Who is Nazanin Boniadi?
