Jessica Rowe channels Tom Cruise in Risky Business as she dances around her house mopping

Jessica Rowe went back to the 1980s on Sunday. 

The television host was mopping her floors at home when she decided to recreate the iconic ‘socks and shirt’ dance from the 1983 movie Risky Business. 

In the film, Tom Cruise plays Joel Goodsen, a teen from a wealthy family who is left to his own devices while his parents are away. 

Enjoying his freedom, he dances around the house to Old Time Rock & Roll by Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band, wearing just a shirt, white underwear and socks. 

The scene is one of the most iconic in Hollywood film history and was Tom Cruise’s breakout role. 

In a video shared to Instagram, Jessica copied Tom’s moves, sliding into the frame on her socks, wearing heart shaped sunglasses and an oversized white shirt. 

The author then gyrated and danced around the room to the music as Old Time Rock & Roll played. 

‘Mopping isn’t risky business for this Crap Housewife,’ she wrote in her caption. 

Tom has previously revealed that he ‘adlibbed’ his now famous sliding dance, confessing he only decided to wear socks because the floor was ‘too sticky’. 

‘I tried to go across [the floor] at one point and it was too sticky. What I did was I dusted the floor and then put sticky [tape] on the other side so I would get centre frame on that and wore the socks,’ he told The Project in 2017.   

‘And that’s how I finally did it – to figure out how to get that smooth, right on the beat kind of flow that got me there.’ 

Tom proceeded to make the rest of the dance up on the fly, taking inspiration from his childhood.

‘And then I went around the room and was dancing,’ he said. ‘That’s something that I did as a kid at home.’
