Woman forcefully kisses Tom Cruise, sparks debate

As the video caught the attention of social media users, they objected to the woman's behaviour and debated how it would have been a bigger issue if the roles were reversed.

Hollywood actor Tom Cruise enthralled 71,500 spectators at the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics 2024 as he rappelled down from the roof of the Stade de France.

However, the actor himself was stunned when a woman grabbed him and kissed him forcefully. A video of the incident is being widely shared on social media.

In the video, the Top Gun Maverick star is mobbed by fans who are all trying to take a selfie with him as he walks through the stadium. Meanwhile, a woman grabs him, kisses him on the cheek, and records it on her phone.

As the video caught the attention of social media users, they objected to the woman's behaviour and debated how it would have been a bigger issue if the roles were reversed.

“Would hate to see what would happen if the roles were reversed (sic),” an X user commented on the video. “Did she ask for consent? (sic),” another wrote. “The amount of people laughing at Tom Cruise getting kissed while working at the Olympics is disgusting. If that was a female celebrity there'd be an uproar. Like him or not, that shouldn't have happened! (sic)” a user opined.
