Influencer Ángela Mármol Speaks on Awkward Encounter with Tom Cruise

Barcelona, Spain
Social media influencer Ángela Mármol, known for her 2 million followers on Instagram, recently met Hollywood star Tom Cruise, but the experience did not go as she had hoped.
Mármol described the encounter as terrible, recalling, “I accidentally spat on Tom Cruise. It just slipped out.” The young influencer expressed her nerves about meeting the actor, saying, “I was going to meet Cruise, and I didn’t know what to say in English. Everyone was talking around me, and I was thinking, ‘What do I say? Hi, Tom. I’m Angela. Bye.'”
She felt at a disadvantage compared to other celebrities present who were more comfortable with the English language. “Everyone else was English, and they communicated well with him. If I were with a Spanish celebrity like Rosalía, it would have been different,” she noted.
Despite the awkward situation, Cruise was gracious, complimenting Mármol on her dress and reassuring her. He said, “Sorry for my Spanish. You shouldn’t apologize for your English; it’s much better than my Spanish.”
The encounter has left a lasting impression on Mármol, who continues to share her experiences with her followers.
