Tom Cruise took a walk down memory lane on Tuesday, Sept. 29, and he did it with a spin and a kick. The actor hit the Jennifer Hudson Show Spirit Tunnel in all black with his signature Ray-Bans, dancing while the crew sang custom lyrics to Bob Seger’s“Old Time Rock&Roll.”It was a full callback to his famous Risky Business scene, and he even pulled staffers in to dance with him.
The appearance is part of Cruise’s promotional run for Digger, the environmental apocalypse drama directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu. The film opens Friday, Oct. 2, and features a stacked cast including Sandra Hüller, Riz Ahmed, Jesse Plemons, John Goodman, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Emma D’Arcy. Early reviews have been mixed, with some critics calling it the worst movie of Cruise’s career, while others see awards potential.
Either way, Cruise has been on a nonstop promotional tour, from the World Cup to the Chiefs opener, and the Spirit Tunnel moment is already making the rounds online. Love the movie or not, the man knows how to give a moment.
Are you planning to see Digger this weekend, or are you waiting for the reviews to settle? Let us know.
