If you've ever seen Rock Of Ages, you've seen the terrifying intensity that Tom Cruise brings when he's pretending to sing songs onscreen. And if you've seen that incredible clip of Cruise doing the Yung Joc motorcycle dance on 106 & Park, you've seen the absolutely unashamed awkwardness he brings when he's engaging with current popular music in any way. Both extremes were on full display last night on The Tonight Show, when Cruise lip synced the Weeknd's monster hit "Can't Feel My Face," showing considerably more emotion and movement than Abel Tesfaye ever displays during his own shows. This was part of a lip sync battle with Jimmy Fallon, and it also involved Fallon's Mick Jagger impression, a one-man "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" duet, and a Righteous Brothers Top Gun callback. Watch it all unfold below.
This was all a way to remind you that the new Mission: Impossible movie comes out on Friday, though it mostly reminds me that Tom Cruise has eyes like a great white shark.
