Tom Cruise saw people popping off about how he eats movie popcorn
Tom Cruise appears to give things his all, which includes eating popcorn. A video shared on social media of the star enthusiastically throwing movie popcorn into his mouth at a screening of his latest film, 'Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning,' has sparked some reaction. Cruise laughed when he was asked about it by Darius Butler during an appearance on 'The Pat McAfee Show' on Wednesday. 'I've never seen anyone eat popcorn this like,' Butler, said. 'Are you actually eating popcorn or are you full of s**t right here, TC? I've got to know.' It cracked Cruise up. 'Man, I'm eating popcorn,' Cruise said as he laughed. 'They know when I'm going to these movies that I'm watching, I'm eating popcorn.' Cruise's love of popcorn has been well documented over the years. A 2023 promotional video for 'Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1' also featured Cruise with a bucket of the movie snack. Four cities. Four screenings. We had so much fun at the first fan screenings for Mission: Impossible! Thank you to everyone who came out. 'I love my popcorn,' he says in the video. 'Movies. Popcorn.' Writer and podcaster Rachel Leishman wrote about an exchange she had with Cruise at a recent screening. 'I'll use this time to talk about the absolutely insane information Tom Cruise gave in his pre-screening speech,' Leishman wrote. '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' She did not, however, reveal whether he orders his with extra butter. 'Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning' is in theaters Friday.

The film released in India on May 17 in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, ensuring it reached a wide audience across the country.

Ahead of the release, Tom Cruise left Indian fans delighted by speaking in Hindi during a promotional video. 'Main aap sab se bahut pyaar karta hoon. Mujpe bharosa karo, ek akhri baar (I love you all a lot. Trust me one last time)," he said. He also shared his fond memories of visiting India, adding, 'I feel so much love for India. I have to say the whole experience has been etched in my memory. Every single moment.

Tom Cruise reveals his ‘massive breakfast' before filming ‘Mission Impossible' airplane stunt scenes
Mission: Breakfast. Tom Cruise has revealed the key to enduring his death-defying 'Mission: Impossible' stunts: a 'massive breakfast.' The 'Top Gun: Maverick' actor, 62, shared the trick of the trade in a new interview with People ahead of the release of the eighth and potentially last installment in the 'Mission: Impossible' franchise, 'Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning,' which hits theaters May 23. Advertisement In the movie, Ethan Hunt (Cruise) clings to the wing of a 1940s biplane mid-air before he hoists himself up and crawls along the metal flank as South Africa's Drakensberg mountains loom below. 7 'I actually eat a massive breakfast,' Cruise told People. 'The amount of energy it takes — I train so hard for that wing-walking. I'll eat, like, sausage and almost a dozen eggs and bacon and toast and coffee and fluids.

'I actually eat a massive breakfast,' Cruise explained. 'The amount of energy it takes — I train so hard for that wing-walking. I'll eat, like, sausage and almost a dozen eggs and bacon and toast and coffee and fluids. 'Oh, I'm eating! Picture: It's cold up there. We're at high altitude. My body is burning a lot.' The stunt was something he aspired to do since childhood. Advertisement 'I remember seeing old footage of wing-walking. Those aircraft were only traveling at, I don't know, 40, 50 miles an hour. This aircraft is up to over 120 miles an hour. Going out there, I was realizing that it takes your breath away,' he said. 7 'I remember seeing old footage of wing-walking.

Advertisement 'He's basically a one-man film crew: operating the camera, acting and flying.' Stunt coordinator Wade Eastwood added, 'Everyone will think we did some on green screen on the ground. I guarantee there was not one single shot that was not on a plane flying for real.' Cruise showed his late mother footage of the stunt before she passed. The actor wisely didn't tell her about the stunt ahead of time. 'Oh, honey, I'm so glad you didn't fill me in on that one beforehand,' he recalled her saying. 7 'Anytime you see Tom in the plane, he's at the controls,' said Christopher McQuarrie, who directed and co-written the last 3 'Mission: Impossible' movies ('Rogue Nation,' 'Fallout,' 'Dead Reckoning Part 1').

'You're not going to feel as connected with the character if I went with a regular mask and a thing in my mouth to breathe,' Cruise said. 'Luckily when you're flying jets you train for hypoxia and for carbon dioxide buildup. You start to be able to perceive your body and how it's reacting so that I knew when to stop.' Advertisement 'If we knew what it took to do it, we would not have done it,' McQuarrie reflected. Cruise has no regrets, however. 'On Mission, if it was easy, I guess we wouldn't want to do it,' he explained. Even after making 8 'Mission: Impossible' movies, the star still 'always' has moments of gratitude for his work. Advertisement 'I love making movies. It's not what I do. It's who I am,' he said. 'Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning' premieres at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival on May 14 before arriving in theaters on May 23.
