Currently, in his early 60s, Tom Cruise is making fans drop their jaws with his death-defying stunts in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. But, to, our surprise, his magnetic performance in the eighth and final instalment of the series is not why he is going viral. Rather, it is for another big stunt that he has ever performed – eating popcorn. Yes, you heard it right. A clip wherein Tom is seen snacking on popcorn has stirred up a conversation on the Internet. Reason – the way he was enthusiastically throwing popcorn into his mouth.

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."

‘Working with Tom is Incredible'
Actor Hayley Atwell has surprised her fans with a behind-the-scenes revelation about her time on Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. The 43-year-old actor revealed on The Tonight Show that she was eight and a half months pregnant while filming an intense action sequence for the film. Despite the challenges, she insisted on performing the stunts herself. The actor, who became globally popular for her role as Peggy Carter in multiple Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, joined the MI franchise with its seventh instalment Dead Reckoning. How has your character changed from when we last saw her? Grace is a rather mischievous and fun character who makes mistakes but who can certainly hold her own with Ethan Hunt. She's still all that, but she has progressed. In the last film, she was really having to learn how to trust Ethan and to be part of a team. She now understands the cost of belonging to a group of people is the fear of losing them. So the emotional stakes for her are a lot higher in this one. She is still learning; she's still inexperienced, but she now also has this fear of something happening to the people she cares about.
