Tom Cruise saw people popping off about how he eats movie 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. pic.twitter.com/qneMmdj00J '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.

Brad Pitt Says Tom Cruise Pulled Out Of ‘Ford v Ferrari' After He Realized He 'Would Not Be Driving Much In The Movie'
On a different racetrack of events, Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise were initially attached to Ford v Ferrari, with the F1 star revealing what ultimately led the latter to back out of the project. Speaking to the United Arab Emirates-based publication The National News, Pitt reflected on the racing pic that never came to pass, which initially featured F1 and Top Gun: Maverick helmer Joseph Kosinski as director. The eventual 2019 biographical sports/action film featured Christian Bale as fearless racer Ken Miles, Matt Damon as automotive designer Carroll Shelby and James Mangold as filmmaker. More from Deadline Brad Pitt Discourages Young Actors From Taking On Franchises, Says His Generation "Didn't Sell Out" 'Crimson Tide' Sequel In The Works Says, Jerry Bruckheimer 'F1' Revs Higher With $146.3M Global Bow; 'Dragon' Also Rises; '28 Years Later' Tops $100M WW - International Box Office Monday Update 'Tom and I, for a while there, were on Ford v Ferrari with Joe [to direct],' the Interview with the Vampire actor said. 'This was about 10 years before the guys who actually made it — and made it a great movie.' The two-time Oscar winner continued, 'What it came down to is that we both wanted to drive, and he wanted to play Shelby, and I wanted to play Ken Miles. And when Tom realized that Carroll Shelby would not be driving much in the movie, it didn't come through.' He concluded, 'So I'm not sure how that's going to work [in a potential F1 The Movie sequel], but we'll give it a go. I'd love to.' Previously, Kosinski shared in a sprawling GQ feature about the making of F1 that the reason his version of Ford v Ferrari never came to fruition was because of studio objections to the budget. A box office hit following its release June 27, the Apple Original Films blockbuster is already getting chatter about potential sequel treatment, with Kosinski telling GQ UK that it's 'up for the audience to decide' and 'not my decision.' Made in partnership with Formula 1 and its 10 teams, the drama stars Pitt as has-been racer Sonny Hayes, who aims to stage a comeback after his promising career was derailed by a track accident, finding that his biggest competition may be his young, irreverent upstart teammate Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris). Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, Sarah Niles, Kim Bodnia and Samson Kayo also star. (Simone Ashley's role was cut down in the film.) Elsewhere in his interview with The National News, Pitt said he would be open to returning to the track in a sequel. 'I would want to drive again, selfishly speaking,' he said. 'F1 is still the focus. It needs to be on Joshua Pierce – Damson Idris's character – and the rest of the team fighting for a championship. Where does Sonny fit in? I'm not sure. Sonny's probably out on the Bonneville Salt Flats, setting speed records or something like that. So I'm not sure beyond that, just yet. Right now, I'm just pleased as punch that something like this can bring people together. That's the power of this kind of cinema.' With that, Pitt added that should a followup come to pass, he'd be open to collaborating with Cruise, perhaps even a tie-in with the in-the-works Days of Thunder sequel, which the latter has said he is actively 'working on.' Speaking to what it would take to reteam, Pitt joked last month, 'Well, I'm not gonna hang my ass off airplanes and sh– like that, so when he does something again that's on the ground.'

Teen Doesn't Want to Go on Fancy Cruise with His Mom's New Boyfriend and the Man's Entire Family: ‘Torture Trip'
A 14-year-old boy explained why he does not want to join his mom, her boyfriend and the man's family on a 16-day cruise Venting about the situation on Reddit, he said the cruise will have 'fancy dinners' 'My mom told me I have to come along with them every time and have to wear a tuxedo,' he saidA teenage boy is not on the same boat as his mom when it comes to whether he should go on a cruise with her, her boyfriend and the man's family. The 14-year-old boy explained on Reddit's 'Am I the A------' forum that while he's 'glad my mom's happy' with her new boyfriend, he doesn't want to be 'stuck' on a ship with him and his relatives on the 16-day cruise. 'I need some help here,' he began. 'My mom divorced my dad a while ago and she's been dating this new guy for a few months now. He's alright, I don't have a problem with him.' 'His family must be quite wealthy, his parents have a huge house, his dad drives a Porsche and so on,' he continued. 'They invited us to come on this cruise this summer, and they're paying for the whole thing for us.' Although he admitted that the trip 'sounds cool,' he feels 'weird' about hanging out with all of those people, none of whom are his age. 'I found out that there will be these fancy dinners and events every three days, and my mom told me I have to come along with them every time and have to wear a tuxedo because 'we're part of the family now' and all the other men will wear one,' the teen wrote of his mom's expectations. 'That's when I said, 'Wait, what?' I hate formal clothes. I've always hated shirts and suits and this crap, and my mom knows this,' he added. 'I told her. 'That's enough, not gonna do that,' and she just got mad and said I'm being ungrateful and difficult and I would embarrass us in front of them.' The boy elaborated on why he isn't in the mood to 'play along.'

'The idea of being stuck in a suit or tuxedo or whatever the difference is for 5 to 6 hours every few days to sit through dinner and then opera singers or some crap like this afterward sounds like absolute torture to me,' he said. 'It's my vacation. I don't want to feel miserable and uncomfortable.' The son then confessed that he just wants to 'hide' because right now is his 'last chance to avoid this torture trip.' Seeking validation about his complaints, the teen asked Redditors, 'Am I the a------ for not wanting to go on this trip?' Many people, envious or not, encouraged him to go on this trip. '[Not the a------] for not wanting to go, but I think you should suck it up and go,' one person replied. 'Cruise ships are huge, so there will be plenty of chances for you to have alone time and go off and do your own thing.' The Redditor added, 'Put on your tux, smile, eat fast but with good manners, then politely excuse yourself and go back to your room. A 16 day cruise is a huge opportunity to travel and experience some luxury.' Read the original article on People
