"I saw you with the people, in the theater. I gotta get to the bottom of this, because there are questions. Now, you're Tom Cruise and you do everything a little different. I’ve never seen anyone eat popcorn like this," Butler confessed to the dad-of-three. "Are you actually eating popcorn or are you full of s--- right here, TC? I’ve got to know."
Cruise cracked up and replied, "Man, I’m eating popcorn."
"They know when I’m going to these movies that I’m watching, I’m eating popcorn," he said with a laugh of attending his own movie screenings.

When the video first made the rounds on X, some media users couldn't help but poke fun at the action star, with one asking, "Why is it so chaotic?"
"This is how my dad eats popcorn," another person confessed, while a third individual tweeted, "I’ve never seen another human being eat popcorn like Tom Cruise."
The Risky Business lead also went viral for another video in which he called out a fan at a screening for finishing the snack before the film began. "You ate all your popcorn already!" he told the man. "You have to get some more."
The star laughed at himself after Darius Rutler told him he's 'never seen anyone eat popcorn' like Cruise.
Cruise has been traveling around the globe to promote Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning.
As usual, the Top Gun actor did all of his own stunts for the movie — some of which nearly threatened his life.
"I didn’t realize, like, that amount of force of air, I can’t breathe. So I had to figure out how you’re taking the wind, and you’re breathing down here like this," he explained on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon of when he had to hang off a plane's wing mid-air. "I mean, the air particles coming off that propeller are traveling at the speed of sound, so the air is going around the fuselage like this. And the force of the air when I got close to the fuselage was brutal."
