Tom Cruise, 62, has become the center of attention online after a video of him eating popcorn went viral during an event in London. The amusing clip shows him frantically tossing popcorn into his mouth while being introduced, drawing comparisons to a typical dad's eating habits. The response from online audiences has been mixed, with some mocking his style and others defending him by asserting his celebrity status allows him the freedom to eat as he pleases. Cruise's humorous reaction to the backlash adds to the lightheartedness of this internet phenomenon, dubbed #popcorngate.
Tom Cruise should stick to stunts. The 'Mission: Impossible' star, 62, is being eviscerated online for how he eats popcorn after a video of him indulging in the tasty treat made the rounds, in what is now being considered #popcorngate.
In the hilarious Instagram clip, Cruise is seen frantically throwing the kernels in his mouth as he's being introduced to take the stage at what appeared to be the BFI IMAX in London during an event earlier this month.
Cruise appeared laid back and unbothered as he chomped down on his movie snack while the announcer introduced him to a room full of people. Shoveling the kernels down his throat, and sometimes missing his mouth, many flocked to the video's comment section to rip the action star's eating habits.
But many came to the 'Top Gun' star's defense. 'Tom Cruise will eat the way he wants because he is Tom Cruise,' one fan wrote. 'Bro literally the main character 😭,' shared another.
