Cruise, who went viral recently for frantically throwing popcorn into his mouth during a screening of Mission: Impossible at the BFI IMAX in London on May 11, was seen playfully calling out a fan at another screening for the franchise's eighth movie when he noticed the fan had finished his popcorn before the movie even started.
The video, which was posted to X on Tuesday, May 20, shows Cruise entering a movie theater full of fans excited to see the new Mission: Impossible from a side stage. As Cruise entered the room and stepped on stage, he turned to a fan in the front row and said, "You ate all your popcorn already!"

The fan in question, as well as the people sitting nearby, all seemed to get a kick out of Cruise's comment and were left smiling after the surprise interaction; Cruise even appeared to tell the fan to "go get some more" as he arrived on stage.
Cruise's apparent love for popcorn has received significant attention online in recent days. Journalist Mike Ryan shared photos on X of Cruise eating popcorn as he chatted with employees at AMC Lincoln Square in New York City on Sunday, May 18, as he attended the N.Y.C. premiere of the new Mission: Impossible film. On top of that, another journalist who attended that premiere, Rachel Leishman, wrote on X that Cruise told moviegoers that night, "I normally eat two big buckets myself during a movie."

Cruise himself reacted to the viral video of him chowing down on popcorn in London during an appearance on ESPN's The Pat McAfee Show with Darius Butler on Wednesday, May 21. "Man, I'm eating popcorn! They know when I'm going to these movies that I'm watching, I'm eating popcorn," he said with a laugh, when host Butler asked him: "Are you actually eating popcorn or are you full of s--- right here, TC? I've got to know."
Cruise has shared his love for popcorn before: at the end of a 2023 promotional video that he shared on X leading up to the premiere of that year's Dead Reckoning, the actor was seen eating popcorn from a large bucket. "I love my popcorn. Movies. Popcorn," he said.

Terence Stamp, star in "Superman" films, dies at 87
British actor Terence Stamp, who famously played arch-villain General Zod in "Superman" and "Superman II," has died at the age of 87, his family said. The Oscar-nominated actor died on Sunday morning, his family told Reuters in a statement. The cause was not immediately known. "He leaves behind an extraordinary body of work, both as an actor and as a writer that will continue to touch and inspire people for years to come," the statement to Reuters said. "We ask for privacy at this sad time." Stamp was born in London's East End in 1938 to Ethel Esther and Thomas Stamp, a tugboat stoker. After enduring the bombing of London during World War II, Stamp left school to work in advertising before winning a scholarship for drama school, Reuters reported. "I couldn't tell anyone I wanted to be an actor because it was out of the question. I would have been laughed at," he said, according to Reuters. During his acclaimed career, Stamp starred in films including Pier Paolo Pasolini's "Theorem," "A Season in Hell," and "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert," in which he played a transgender woman. "From wearing the high heels, my spine was completely out of alignment, and it took me about six months to get my spine re-orchestrated," he told CBS News in 1999 about the downsides of the 1994 film. Stamp's most high-profile role was likely as General Zod, the megalomaniacal leader of the Kryptonians, in 1978's "Superman" and its 1980 sequel "Superman II." He returned to the Superman world when he played Jor-El in the TV series "Smallville." He went on to appear in a string of other films, including "Valkyrie" opposite Tom Cruise, "The Adjustment Bureau" with Matt Damon, "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace," and movies directed by Tim Burton. His final performance was in 2021's "Last Night in Soho." In addition to his acting career, Stamp was an accomplished writer and author.
