Washington, May 22 -- A video of Tom Cruise frantically throwing popcorn into his mouth while attending a movie screening in London has taken the internet by storm.

The clip, which was posted on social media, shows Cruise enjoying a bucket of popcorn during a screening of 'Mission: Impossible - Fallout' at the BFI IMAX in London.

Cruise later addressed the video on a chat show, laughing off the attention and confirming that he is indeed a popcorn lover.

"Man, I'm eating popcorn," he said when asked about his unusual eating habits. "They know when I'm going to these movies that I'm watching, I'm eating popcorn," as quoted by People magazine.

The incident is not the first time Cruise's love of popcorn has made headlines.
