Tom Cruise has responded to a viral video that shows him eating popcorn in a rather...unusual way. The 62-year-old actor was caught on camera frantically throwing popcorn into his mouth while attending a screening of Mission: Impossible - Fallout at the BFI IMAX in London on May 11.

The video, which has gone viral, shows him smiling as a voice in the background can be heard announcing that he is being awarded the BFI Fellowship, while he continues to shovel popcorn into his mouth.

Cruise later addressed the viral moment while appearing on The Pat McAfee Show with Darius Butler on Wednesday, May 21.

“I’m eating popcorn,” Cruise said while laughing. “They know when I’m going to these movies that I’m watching, I’m eating popcorn.”

In another interaction shared on X, Cruise can be seen urging a fan to “go get some more” popcorn after noticing their bucket was empty.

This is not the first time Cruise's love of popcorn has made the rounds. In a 2023 promotional video during the press run for the seventh Mission: Impossible film, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1, Cruise declared, “I love my popcorn. Movies. Popcorn,” while eating from a large bucket of the snack on a leather sofa.

“Four cities. Four screenings. We had so much fun at the first fan screenings for Mission: Impossible! Thank you to everyone who came out,” Cruise captioned the video on X.

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning is set to hit theaters on May 23.
