Amy Poehler recalls being turned off by Tom Cruise
As per the latest report of FilmNews.com, Amy admitted that she finds it off-putting when men are too physically flexible
Opening up about her preferences when it comes to men, the 53-year-old comedian shared in a chat with Renee Rap during the latest episode of her Good Hang with Amy Poehler podcast, "I don't like men doing splits."
"I don't like it. I don't find that attractive. As a straight woman, I don't enjoy flexible men," she asserted.
When Renee agreed that she disliked seeing men "flipping" and executing "backflips", Amy added, "This is just my personal preference."
"But any kind of, like, goofy gymnastics, ugh," Amy added.
Referring to the 1983 film The Outsiders, she also stated that seeing Tom Cruise perform a backflip in that movie made her lose any attraction that she felt towards him.
"It was based off of a book and it was all young Rob Lowe and Patrick Swayze and all these boys. And Tom Cruise is famously in it, and it's one of his first films and he's, like, one of the bad guys. And I remember being like,” she continued.
She concluded by saying, “'He's cool!' and then he does a backflip in it and I was like, 'Mmm, no'. He lost it for me."
