Cool Videos: Tom Cruise busts a gut when shown memes about himself

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

If a meme ever emerges centered around little ol' me, I would hope that I would be able to deal with it with as much good humour as Tom Cruise. When the trailer for MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – ROGUE NATION was released, it featured the much-publicized sequence where Tom Cruise clung to the side of a military plane as it took off. The incredible stunt was quickly turned into meme-fodder and soon Tom Cruise was clinging to whales, Falkor from THE NEVERENDING STORY, Donald Trump, and more. It's been several years since the meme first popped up, but in that time, no one has shown them to Tom Cruise, until now. In an interview with BBC Radio 1's Ali Plumb, Cruise is finally shown the meme in question and immediately bursts out laughing.

THE MUMMY is now playing in theaters, so check out a review from our own Chris Bumbray.
