Tom Cruise leaves fan mortified with six hilarious words | Films | Entertainment

A film-goer at a recent screening of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning was left red-faced after being singled out by Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise.

Viewers of the incident have since dubbed it an “absolute nightmare” scenario. Cruise, who was interacting with the audience, commented on one attendee’s choice of snacks as the cinematic hero made his way to the stage.

The incident, which saw the fan being called out by Cruise for finishing all their cinema snacks before the film had even started, has been described by other fans as a “nightmare” scenario.

One cinema enthusiast shared a video of the uncomfortable moment on social media, stating that they “wouldn’t sleep for days” if they were in the same position.

In the viral video, Cruise can be seen pointing out a man in the front row, saying: “You ate all your popcorn already,” before hopping onto the stage. The six-word phrase left the surprised audience member staring into the camera.

Cruise’s fondness for popcorn is well-known – with the action hero often spotted enjoying the classic cinema treat at premiere screenings of the latest Mission: Impossible film.

In fact, he actually encouraged his fan to eat more of the snack. During the interaction that went viral, he cheekily added: “You have to go get some more!”

Social media users have since reacted to the clip, with one commenting: “Tom Cruise calling out a fan for finishing their popcorn before the movie starts.”

Another added: “Absolute nightmare scenario, I wouldn’t sleep for days.”

A third was overjoyed by the incident, writing: “The man who eats two buckets of popcorn acknowledges a guy who finished his bucket of popcorn before the movie. This is an honour I would be privileged to have bestowed upon me.”

Another added: “People are taking this as a diss but personally, I would take this as a badge of honour, as being recognised as a real a** Popcorn Eater from THE Popcorn Eater himself would be magical.”

Another keen observer claimed to have cracked what Cruise said next, adding: “After finely scrubbing this I have come to the conclusion that Tom says ‘you have to go get some more’ as the video cuts off which means this is encouraging the young lad to go for the second bucket.”

With many people expressing jealousy towards the lucky fan, another added their voice to the chorus, saying: “I have never been so jealous of anyone in my life.”
