‘Twisters’ Star Anthony Ramos Says Tom Cruise “Was Losing His Mind” Watching Sequel’s Premiere

Anthony Ramos has found a new fan in leading man Tom Cruise.

The Twisters star said that the Academy Award nominee “was losing his mind” as he watched the sequel’s London premiere earlier this month, where Cruise showed up to support his Top Gun: Maverick co-star Glen Powell and got a little animated in the screening.

“Glen was sitting behind me, my brother was next to me, and Tom was behind my brother,” Ramos recalled to People. “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.

“He keeps hitting me because he’s excited about different moments, and he’s laughing. He’s just laughing out loud the whole entire film. He wasn’t afraid to express himself. I was super grateful about that,” he added.

Ramos said he and Cruise “hugged it out” after the movie, adding, “He’s like, ‘Yo, bro, good man, good stuff.’ So shout out to Tom Cruise, man. It was really cool.”

Cruise previously posed for a photo with Powell in the audience. “Fun night with friends, watching a movie!!” he captioned the post. In a video of the moment, Ramos and his brother can be seen attempting to photo-bomb the duo.

Twisters, which premieres Friday, July 19 in theaters, stars Powell as Tyler, a reckless social media star known for storm-chasing. The sequel to 1996’s Lee Isaac Chung-helmed Twister also stars alongside Daisy Edgar-Jones and Ramos as competing storm chasers Kate and Javi.
