Mumbai, May 22

Hollywood sensation, Tom Cruise recently made headlines for the way he eats his popcorn. A video of the 'Mission Impossible' star enjoying the snack in his unique way went viral on social media.

The clip featured Cruise frantically throwing popcorn into his mouth during a screening of his film in London.

The video concluded with Cruise saying in the background that he was being awarded the BFI Fellowship, as he continued to fill his mouth with some more popcorn.

Later on, Cruise reacted to the viral video during his appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" with Darius Butler.

Butler said, “I’ve never seen anyone eat popcorn this like", asking Cruise, "Are you actually eating popcorn or are you full of s--- right here, TC? I’ve got to know.”

To this, Cruise reacted with a laugh saying, “Man, I’m eating popcorn. They know when I’m going to these movies that I’m watching, I’m eating popcorn.”

Meanwhile, in another video, Cruise was seen calling out a fan for finishing his popcorn at the premiere of "Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning."

The clip going around on social media showed Cruise walking into a packed movie theater. As he passed by one of the cinema-goers in the front row, he stopped to ask him, "You ate all your popcorn already?", showing the empty bucket on the camera.

In another incident, Cruise proved his love for popcorn back in 2023 during a promotional video for "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1". Cruise announced, “I love my popcorn. Movies. Popcorn,” as he ate from a large bucket of popcorn on a leather sofa.

Cruise is presently busy promoting "Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning."

The last installment in the "Mission Impossible" franchise screened at Cannes on May 14.

"Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning" is heading for a global release on May 23. However, the action entertainer reached the Indian audience six days early on May 17.

Haha, Tom Cruise eating popcorn like a college student during exams! 😂 Even Hollywood stars can't resist our desi-style "jhatpat khana" when watching movies. His enthusiasm reminds me of how we Indians enjoy films with snacks - total paisa vasool experience!

Saw MI7 last weekend in PVR and tried the "Cruise method" with my popcorn. Bad idea! Half of it ended up on my lap. Maybe it works better with those fancy London theater seats. Still, love how down-to-earth he is about movie snacks. True cinephile!

The man does his own stunts and now this popcorn thing! But seriously, Indian theaters should take note - our popcorn prices are criminal compared to what they get abroad. ₹300 for a small bucket? That's the real mission impossible for middle-class movie lovers.

Tom Cruise's love for popcorn is cute, but nothing beats our masala munching during movies! Give me some samosas, bhel puri and cold drink any day over plain popcorn. Hollywood should try our theater snack game - spicy, tangy and full of flavor!

Respectfully, this seems like clever PR for MI7. Smart move though - making a superstar relatable through something as simple as popcorn. But I'm more impressed that India got early access to the film! Shows how important our market has become for Hollywood.

Saw the video and my first thought was - this man needs some chai to wash down all that popcorn! 🍿☕ On a serious note, it's refreshing to see a global star enjoy simple pleasures. Makes me appreciate our own Bollywood stars who are often seen enjoying street food.
