Tom Cruise appears to give things his all, which includes eating 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 gotta get to the bottom of it, because there are questions,” Butler said.
“Now, you’re Tom Cruise, you do everything a little different. I’ve never seen anyone eat popcorn like this.
“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.

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.
