Sharing her feelings about the chance encounter, the young woman wrote: "He literally patted me on the shoulder. I don't remember what he said, I was in absolute shock. He smiled, and all I could say was: 'Tom Cruise?' He said 'good night' and walked away. When he walked back by, I managed to process what happened and finally asked for a photo."

Reactions online poured in immediately, with many praising the actor's attentiveness and willingness to lend a hand. "He is such a nice guy, no matter what people say online," one user wrote. Another added, "He thought you were crying and came to help. What a guy." Others amusedly reacted to the young woman's calm composure during the surprise meeting.
