Stars! They're just like us! They go to the movies just for the snacks. In a now-viral clip shared to social, Tom Cruise was captured chowing down on a bucket of popcorn while at the BFI IMAX in London for an event earlier this week—and fans are dubbing him the internet's "dad" because of it.

The Mission Impossible star, who has been doing press for The Final Reckoning, the eighth installment of the series, was captured on video throwing back the buttery movie theater snack at, ahem, a rapid pace.

"He’s eating it like any other Middle Aged dad!!" one fan joked on Instagram, while another chimed in, "All Dads do this. Also with peanuts."

"Does the internet have a dad," a third person wrote. "Dads 101." To be fair, he is a father in real life. Maybe it's in the code of conduct or something?

"That’s how my grandpa used to eat roasted peanuts lol," someone else added. "Exactly my grandpa always eats snacks this way," another commented.

"This is peak male performance 🙌😂," a Instagram user said.

While chatting with Darius Butler on "The Pat McAfee Show," Cruise addressed the controversy.

"Are you actually eating popcorn, or are you full of s–t right here?" Butler asked Cruise, who immediately cracked up in response.

"Man, I’m eating popcorn," he said. "They know that when I’m going to these movies and I'm watching, I’m eating popcorn.”

If you have any doubts about Cruise's appreciation for the buttery snack, this will convince you: During the screening of his new film, he admitted to the audience that he will "normally eat two buckets during a movie." He also reportedly urged a fan to "go get some more" popcorn when he noticed an empty bucket.

In a 2023 promo video for Dead Reckoning Part 1, he proudly declared, "I love my popcorn. Movies. Popcorn." Don't mess with this man and his popcorn—unless you want to be a part of his dead reckoning.
