Video of fan forcibly kissing Tom Cruise goes viral, Internet says ‘imagine if the roles were reversed’

SAINT-DENIS, FRANCE: A video of a woman forcibly kissing Tom Cruise has created an uproar on the internet. The incident reportedly happened at the Stade de France after the 62-year-old actor stunned everyone with his thrilling performance at the Paris Olympics closing ceremony.

Since the 2028 Games will be happening in Los Angeles, Cruise was the perfect choice to do stunts during the closing ceremony.

During the performance, the film producer flew down from the top of the national stadium of France as Simone Biles passed the Olympic flag to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass after taking it from Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo.

Eventually, Cruise got the flag before he flew high in the Los Angeles air in a pre-recorded clip.

Though the ' Mission Impossible’ actor did not react negatively, people have shared their frustration online.

Internet calls Tom Cruise fans ‘worst kind of people’

“Cringe. If a man did that to a female celebrity there would be questions…” a user tweeted.

Another user wrote, “Imagine if the roles were reversed…”

The third user shared, “Would hate to see what would happen if the roles were reversed.”

“The worst kind of people in audiences. Absolute zero respect for personal space. If it had been a man with a woman people would already be looking for all his information to burn him alive,” the fourth user stated.

The fifth one added, “She was extremely inappropriate; you can't just try to kiss a stranger. If a man had done that to a female celebrity there'd be an uproar.”

“Not at all pleasant, being kissed unexpectedly by either a woman or a man is very unpleasant. If it were the other way around, everyone would be pissed off,” a person commented.

The second person said, “If a man did that to a woman they would have tackled him and arrested him on the spot.”

A tweet read, “Imagine if a guy tried the exact same thing with Taylor Swift or Ariana Grande. What a crazy world we live in.”

An angry person posted, “Freakin' lunatic. Self-filming herself shamelessly trying to go for the lips without any sign of respect for Tom.”

“OMG, what just happened?! I was watching the Olympics and I didn't even realize this was going down. Is she okay? That's some crazy fan love right there!” a tweet added.

An X user pointed out, “He Was Very Smart & Super Gentlemen by Turning His Face on The Right Time Without Embarrassing Her!! Great Reaction in Less Than a Second from The Best as Always @TomCruise :))) #Olympics @Olympics.”

Another user added, “poor guy... she almost ripped his neck off, how inappropiate, disgusting and funny…”
