Tom Cruise gave Amy Poehler the ick earlier than she even knew what that meant.
On Monday’s episode of Poehler’s podcast, “Good Hang,” the “Saturday Night Live” alum and her visitor, actor and singer Reneé Rapp, mentioned issues males do this utterly flip them off — and Poehler admitted that versatile males twist her abdomen into knots.
“I don’t like men doing the splits,” Poehler stated very severely. “I don’t find that attractive.”
When Rapp confessed that she finds males doing flips fairly cringeworthy, Poehler agreed.
“Any kind of goofy gymnastics,” Poehler stated with a grimace, earlier than shortly citing Cruise in 1983’s “The Outsiders” for example.
“I remember being like, ‘He’s cool!’ And then he does a backflip in it, and I was like, ‘Mm, no,’” Poehler admitted. “I was like, ‘He lost it for me.’”
Cruise performed Steve Randle within the Francis Ford Coppola movie, and, for some purpose, his character does random flips — each entrance and again, and normally off a automotive — for causes that nobody fairly understands.
However Cruise’s “Outsiders” castmate — and Poehler’s former “Parks and Recreation” co-star — Rob Lowe revealed in 2020 why he thinks Cruise did random flips within the film.
Lowe defined on Dax Shepard’s podcast “Armchair Expert” that though “The Outsiders” was considered one of Cruise’s first movies, the then-little-known actor was already displaying diva-like habits and was “relentlessly competitive.”

Lowe went on to elucidate that through the filming of “The Outsiders,” Coppola “had a lot of ideas that I don’t know what was going on.” One in every of Coppola’s seemingly nonsensical concepts included all of the younger actors studying do a backflip, which Lowe described as “really scary” and “hard as fuck to learn.”
However because of Cruise’s ruthless drive, he was the one one within the forged who really mastered the talent.
“[His backflip] is in the movie ‘The Outsiders’ for no reason,” Lowe stated. “He runs out of the house and does a backflip for no reason, just to do it.”
