You can't discount this theory from @iluvbutts247. The strange angle coupled with Cruise in the middle of some intense physical acting, plus some sheer costume department wizardry, make for a butt that looks, quite frankly, enhanced. For the rest of the film, Cruise's butt (when pictured) looks like a regular human posterior, and he's not sure why the conspiracy arose in the first place.

“I have no idea,” Cruise told Screenrant. “There was no prosthetic in Valkyrie. No.”

"I do my own mooning in films,” he added. “So let it be known — I do my own mooning.”

Let the integrity of the butt never be questioned again.
