SUMMARY
  • Tom Cruise is at the center of a strange fish bathroom story.
  • Some users claimed he took fish into a bathroom multiple times.
  • Internet reactions range from jokes to wild conspiracy theories.

You probably know Tom Cruise as the action star who flies planes and saves the world. But lately, he’s become the center of a bizarre rumor that’s making waves online. The Hollywood actor was allegedly spotted in a grocery store on various occasions, buying different kinds of raw fish (according to those rumors).

Then, he takes it into a bathroom and comes out without it. This fishy tale has taken off on social media, leaving everyone confused. The story all started back in 2020 when a user named ‘Enty’ posted on the celebrity gossip blog.

Enty didn’t name Cruise directly, but people quickly put two and two together. Why? Because he was in town filming a movie at the time, and there were plenty of sightings of him out and about. Plus, that celebrity was allegedly seen wearing two masks, which only added to the mystery. So, let’s unpack this whole situation! 

How the Strange Tom Cruise Fish Rumor Started

The fish story started when Enty shared a weird encounter they had. According to the post on Crazy Days & Nights, they saw a celebrity buying a raw sea bass and then heading to the bathroom. After about ten minutes, he came out without the fish.

According to The Tab, Enty described how this celebrity was double-masked and had security with him. That just adds to the intrigue, right? We’re all wondering what goes on behind closed doors, especially in a bathroom! The double mask was definitely a 2020 feel, but the fact that he took the fish into the bathroom had people raising eyebrows.

Things got even stranger when another user jumped in, claiming they witnessed something similar back in 2016. This person said they saw an actor (presumably the same one) at a supermarket in Los Angeles. The user wrote:

Our actor was taking a while because he was carefully examining every fish that the guy placed on the scale. Finally, he settled on one. The actor requested the man not wrap it up, so that’s actually the only reason why I followed him. I thought maybe they were filming a movie or something and they had an emergency need for a new prop.

Naturally, this piqued the witness’s interest, so they decided to follow him. And guess what? The celebrity reportedly walked into the bathroom with the fish, and when the user went in afterward, they found the fish in the trash, wrapped in paper towels.

Another internet user chimed in with their own bizarre fish story. They recounted an experience from a supermarket in Beijing a few years back, around 2013 or 2014.

This user allegedly saw a man—again, with bodyguards—carefully examining fish at the counter. He spent a long time picking out a whole pompano, which is a fish without teeth. The third user penned:

At closing, my supervisor says there is a pompano in the bathroom rubbish bin. I tell her what I saw before, and she says she saw the same the day prior.

It’s like a strange case of fish déjà vu! Why would a celebrity need a whole fish? This whole scenario has led people to wonder if there’s some kind of connection.

Is Tom Cruise secretly a fish connoisseur? We may never know! This fish tale has turned into quite the mystery, and people online are having a field day with it. With all these sightings and strange encounters, it’s hard not to be curious.
