Tom Cruise Defends His Popcorn-Eating Technique
Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise has addressed recent online speculation about his unusual method of enjoying popcorn. Videos of the actor meticulously picking up individual kernels and tossing them into his mouth have gone viral, sparking humorous theories from fans. Some have likened it to a mime, while others have suggested he’s trying to avoid looking like a “slob.”
Cruise, currently promoting his latest blockbuster, Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning, laughed off the comments during an appearance on ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show. “Man, I’m eating popcorn,” he stated, confirming his love for the snack.
He went on to explain that popcorn represents “comfort” and is an integral part of his movie-going experience. He even revealed that theater owners often have his popcorn ready upon arrival.
The actor’s popcorn preference has become a lighthearted talking point amidst the Mission: Impossible press tour. He was recently seen enjoying the snack while chatting with employees at an AMC theater and again before introducing a screening of Mission: Impossible – Fallout.
In the same interview, Cruise offered a rare glimpse into his personal life when asked about his Father’s Day plans. The typically private star simply stated he hoped to be “having fun, man.
Making movies, big adventure, having a great time.” Cruise has three children from previous marriages.
