Show me the camera! Cuba Gooding Jr poses for a selfie with two French police officers as he unwinds at the 79th Cannes Film Festival
It was a less a case of show me the money and more a case of pose for my picture as Jerry Maguire star Cuba Gooding Jr ventured out in Cannes on Sunday. The American actor was accosted by two French police officers while taking advantage of a break between red carpet appearances over the weekend. Gooding Jr, 57, happily obliged the star-struck policemen, who appeared more interested in enforcing photo opportunities than the law as they chatted to the Hollywood star. With temperatures soaring across the Mediterranean, he looked relaxed in a linen overshirt and white chinos while out for a stroll close to the waterfront. The actor is in town to receive the Global Short Film Awards 2025 Lifetime Achievement Award at the 10th Annual Cannes Global Short Film Awards Dinner on Tuesday. Gooding Jr. is also set to receive an award at the iSuccess gala, while he also promotes two new films, Quantum Supremacy and Line of Fire. But he enjoyed a reunion of sorts with former Jerry Maguire co-star Tom Cruise at the Cannes premiere of Mission: Impossible 8 - The Final Reckoning on May 14. The reunion comes nearly 30 years after the hit film, a critical and commercial hit, debuted in theatres. Cruise played the sports agent title character in Jerry Maguire, with Gooding Jr. playing his only client after leaving a huge agency, NFL wide receiver Rod Tidwell - whose famous catchphrase was 'show me the money.' A source told Page Six that the meet-up between the longtime co-stars was, 'wonderful,' though no further details were revealed. While Cruise continues to be on top of the movie world, Gooding Jr. has been on the comeback trail after some legal entanglements. He settled a lawsuit against him in 2020 with a woman who accused the actor of raping her. Just two years later in 2022, he was accused of forcibly touching a woman in Times Square in New York City. He would later plead guilty to a lesser harassment charge in that case as well. Gooding Jr enjoyed a reunion of sorts with former Jerry Maguire co-star Tom Cruise at the Cannes premiere of Mission: Impossible 8 - The Final Reckoning on May 14 Gooding Jr has been accompanied by his girlfriend Claudine DeNiro during his time at the Cannes Film Festival. Back in 2022, Gooding Jr. opened up on Piers Morgan Uncensored, insisting he was '100% changed' since admitting to the charge. 'It's funny too because I don't want this to stop me connecting with my fans,' he added. 'I don't want this to stop me connecting with the gregarious behavior in terms of the positive energy that I have,' the actor continued. 'I'm ten times more aware of what is going on around me and I just use that as my focus,' he insisted. Cruise's highly-anticipated Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning - hits theaters nationwide May 23.
