On-screen, Tom Cruise is an action hero of untold proportions. Off-screen, however, he's still an incredible action hero, but he's also a middle-aged dad. And his popcorn eating skills have betrayed him.

A video of Tom Cruise eating the cinema snack has gone viral online. The video was taken when he was at the BFI IMAX in London earlier this month before the release of Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning.
Online discourse surrounding Tom Cruise and his relationship with popcorn started to gain traction, as it was revealed that he shared that he'd happily eat two big buckets of popcorn while watching a movie.
Seeing this, an online user shared a video they had obtained of Tom Cruise eating popcorn, and everyone lost their minds.
It's in the way he grabs them in a closed fist, in the way he shakes them in his hand, in the way he tosses them into his mouth.
That's right, Tom Cruise is a certified middle-aged man. Whether it's peanuts or popcorn, every dad consumes such confectionaries in the same manner. Not even Tom Cruise can escape it.
Internet Rips Into Tom Cruise FOr The Way He Eats PopCorn
Sorry Tom Cruise, but but not being fun of on the internet is another impossible mission. People took to comment sections online to share their thoughts and jokes.
"Bro literally the main character," wrote one.
"This is how my dad eats popcorn," shared another.
"The dad shake and throw in the mouth. This is peak male performance," chimed in a third.
"Just leaving mountains of popcorn on the floor in his wake," laughed someone else.
"Tom Cruise Will eat the way he wants because he is Tom Cruise," one astutely claimed.
"Honestly if a guy who is as much into popcorn as him is doing it that way there must be something to it. I will be trying it next time I'm at the cinema," said a converted middle-aged man.
Sometimes I do wonder why every middle-aged man adopts this habit. There must be some generational knowledge that only gets passed down once you're of age.
