Let’s just say the “Mission: Impossible” star was a fan.
Tom Cruise still has a need for speed in his movies, whether that’s in the air, on a racetrack, or even on the ground, chasing a storm.
Anthony Ramos, an actor from the new Twisters, the sequel to 1996’s Twister, told PEOPLE that Cruise was in the audience at the movie’s London premiere on July 8.
To hear him tell it, Cruise “was losing his mind” — and he was eager to let the movie’s stars, including Ramos, Glen Powell, and Daisy Edgar-Jones, know how much he was enjoying it.
“Glen was sitting behind me, my brother was next to me, and Tom was behind my brother,” Ramos told the magazine.
“Tom just kept hitting me the whole entire movie. After the third time I turned back around, like, ‘Yo, Tom Cruise is bugging out right now!’ He keeps hitting me.”
But Ramos understood that was a high compliment coming from the actor known for his kickass moves such as Mission: Impossible, Jack Reacher, Top Gun, and their sequels.
“He keeps hitting me because he’s excited about different moments, and he’s laughing,” Ramos said. “He’s just laughing out loud the whole entire film. He wasn’t afraid to express himself. I was super grateful about that.”
After the movie, Ramos said, they “hugged it out.”
“He’s like, ‘Yo, bro, good man, good stuff.’ So shout out to Tom Cruise, man. It was really cool.”
Cruise gave the movie a shoutout, too, when he posted a photo of himself at the event alongside Powell, his costar in Top Gun: Maverick.
On Thursday, the movie’s Los Angeles premiere had excitement of a different sort when some PETA supporters protested outside — and even inside — the theater where the movie played. They objected to the way the film depicts rodeos, which they claim are cruel and inhumane to the animals involved.
Twisters arrives in U.S. theaters on July 19.
