There are very few honors in Hollywood that can genuinely be deemed unattainable, but securing a spot on the prestigious Tom Cruise cake list has got to be up there as one of the most difficult to accomplish.

Each and every year, the A-list superstar goes out of his way to send out a bevvy of delicious baked goods to those who are deemed worthy, with Top Gun: Maverick star Jon Hamm beside himself with pride and glee after being welcomed in as part of the annual tradition.

Michael Bay was a fairly new addition to the roster, too, and he decided to share his unboxing video with the world to much confusion and hilarity. However, based on Cruise’s comments to Entertainment Tonight at the premiere of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One in Rome, we surely can expect Janet Jackson to be getting a tasty treat delivered to her door, if she isn’t on the list already.

“That was a moment, yeah, that was my night off. That was my last break. I just want to tell you to go see Janet. I’m right in there, yeah, come on! It’s Janet, she’s a legend. Yeah she calls me T. Look, she can call me whatever she wants. She’s Janet Jackson! She’s a goddess. She is a goddess.”

Did you have Tom Cruise gushing over Janet Jackson at the debut of his latest big budget action-packed blockbuster on your bingo card for this year? Most certainly not, but there’s something undeniably wholesome about seeing a guy who’s been one of the biggest stars on the planet for the last 40 years unleash his inner fanboy.
