Cruise is one such actor in Hollywood who can justify the label of a perfectionist as he has seen all kinds of odds, especially during the initial phase of his career. The actor previously appeared on The Graham Show, where he shared a bizarre scene that made him despise chocolate at the time. The actor revealed that while filming a scene in his 1983 film The Outsiders, he had to eat so many chocolate cakes that he ended up puking.

The actor explained that, when he got to know about the scene where he had to eat chocolate cakes, he was very thrilled. The Top Gun actor said,

“I was like, ‘You know what, I’m going to eat chocolate cake in this scene.”

However, later, when he had to overeat those cakes, that dessert became a nightmare for him. The actor said,

 “I thought, because I had to do it in the scene, it’s part of the character, I’m going to eat chocolate cake. We ended up shooting this scene for three days, we did like 100 takes of me eating chocolate cake, and I had to keep eating it. The first couple of takes, I was like ‘This is so good, it was so moist. And then it was like, ‘Oh my gosh, did we get it? Three days of Francis [Ford Coppola] saying, ‘Let’s do it again.’ I was in sugar shock, I was vomiting.”

Though the actor didn’t have a very great memory of this film, his dedication to the work is indeed praiseworthy.
