Tom Cruise recently appeared on a chat show on April 12, 2021, and opened up about one of the scenes from a film that made him want to throw up. He discussed the filming of The Outsiders that released in 1983. Read ahead to know more.

When Tom Cruise started vomiting during shooting 

Speaking to Graham Norton, he described the incident while he was working for the film with director Francis Ford Coppola and he was going to eat chocolate cake in the scene. But it turned out to be a bad idea because Coppola filmed 100 takes of the scene over three days. He thought Coppola would be satisfied after the first few takes, but that was not the case. After three days of Francis asking Tom to shoot the scene again, he was in sugar shock and started vomiting.
