Hollywood tourists try to recognize MrBeast and Tom Cruise adding up to their popularity score

YouTuber Jon Youshaei showed Hollywood tourists a collage with a photo of MrBeast and Tom Cruise each. As he approached people, he asked if they knew who they were. A simple question received a simple answer but surprisingly gave an exciting result.

Out of the first three people shown in the video, two were able to only recognize Tom Cruise giving him a two-point lead. Nevertheless, as the questioning progressed, people kept coming in to recognize MrBeast. From 0-0 to a 4-4 tied score, the tourists kept guessing the stars they recognized.

A score of 5-6 in favor of Tom Cruise reflected that MrBeast was almost as famous and recognized as the iconic actor. There were some people who recognized both of them so that was a glorious bonus.
