Angela Mármol was pretty nervous before meeting Tom Cruise at a premiere and was not sure how to act. She laughed and admitted in a TikTok video on her handle, “I spit on Tom Cruise. I drooled. I drooled,” which honestly sounds like the worst autograph ever. Unsure of what to say in English, she rehearsed a quick “Hi, Tom. I'm Angela. Bye,” because who has time for a whole conversation when you are starstruck? When Cruise finally spoke, he warmly said, "Nice to meet you. Amazing dress.” Mármol, blushed and apologized for her shaky English, because apparently, nerves have their own language. However, the meeting did not end there.

Angela Mármol nervously confessed that her English was not great, which made Tom Cruise smile and ask where she was from. When she said Barcelona, Spain, he joked that her English was actually much better than his Spanish. That friendly and easygoing response helped  Mármol relax, turning what could have been awkward into a memorable moment she was eager to share. Fans were glued to the story, popcorn in hand — and speaking of popcorn, Cruise recently went viral for his unique way of eating it.
