As the video gained momentum, Tom Cruise was asked about his snacking form during a chat with Darius Butler on The Pat McAfee Show on Wednesday. Butler said, 'I've never seen anyone eat popcorn this like," adding a question, 'Are you actually eating popcorn or are you full of s**t right here, TC? I've got to know."
Laughing, Tom Cruise replied, 'Man, I'm eating popcorn." He added, 'They know when I'm going to these movies that I'm watching, I'm eating popcorn."
Tom Cruise's love of popcorn has been documented numerous times over the years. His popcorn passion first went viral in 2023 when he shared a video on X promoting Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning. At the end of the clip, which shows him reclining on a leather couch while enjoying the movie, the actor is seen with a big tub of popcorn on his lap. With a child-like excitement on his face, he says, 'I love my popcorn. Movies. Popcorn."

That's not all. A photo that emerged online earlier this month saw Tom Cruise holding a big bag of popcorn while engaging employees at a New York City AMC. Writer Rachel Leishman shared the photo, recalling a hilarious exchange she had with Cruise at a recent screening.
Leishman wrote, 'I'll use this time to talk about the insane information Tom Cruise gave in his pre-screening speech." She added, 'First, he asked us all not once but twice if we had popcorn (I showed him my bucket to confirm) and then he goes 'I normally eat two big buckets myself during a movie."
