Tom Cruise recently went viral for his enthusiastic popcorn-eating style during a screening of Mission: Impossible – Fallout at the BFI IMAX in London.
In a video shared on social media, Cruise was seen rapidly tossing popcorn into his mouth while smiling and acknowledging being awarded the BFI Fellowship. The footage drew humorous comparisons online, with users likening his snacking to that of a dad or uncle.
Cruise addressed the viral moment during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, confirming with laughter that he genuinely loves popcorn and typically consumes two large buckets during movies. He reinforced this by encouraging a fan to get more popcorn at a recent screening and referencing his popcorn enthusiasm during a 2023 promotional video for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1.
Cruise’s ongoing love for movies and popcorn has become a light-hearted and relatable aspect of his public persona. His latest film, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, is set to hit theaters on May 23, 2025.
