  "account": "Tom Cruise made a return to his iconic \"Risky Business\" dance moves for his appearance on \"The Jennifer Hudson Show\" spirit tunnel, which attracted a record number of participants. The actor will be featured on Jennifer Hudson's talk show later on Wednesday. Prior to the episode's premiere, the show released footage of Cruise participating in the popular spirit tunnel. In the Instagram video, a hallway teeming with \"Jennifer Hudson Show\" staff members is captured, cheering on Cruise as he navigates the hallway. After donning sunglasses, Cruise brought back the choreography from his 1983 film, where he slides across the floor in his underwear, lip-syncing to Bob Seger's \"Old Time Rock & Roll.\" It appears that \"The Jennifer Hudson Show\" paid tribute to this scene, as the staff altered the lyrics to celebrate Cruise's appearance on the talk show. The show teased on Instagram, \"The internet is not ready for @tomcruise!!!\", and fans were thrilled by his participation, with many marveling at the large turnout.",
