David and Victoria Beckham have always been “enchanted” by Tom Cruise, and they even display photos of themselves with the “Top Gun” star at their Los Angeles home,
where they had a wall featuring 30 photos they had with the actor.
So Cruise was, naturally, a VIP guest at Victoria’s 50th birthday party last Saturday, where the actor wowed the crowd with his moves on the dance floor.
The “Mission: Impossible” star was joined by guests including the Spice Girls, Gordon Ramsay, Eva Longoria and Salma Hayek at the exclusive Oswald’s private club in London.
The actor showed off his breakdancing skills and even did the splits for the “absolutely stupefied” crowd, the Daily Mail reported.
A long-standing admiration
Cruise’s close friendship with the Beckhams goes back decades. An industry source told Page Six, “The Beckhams were very close to Tom [for years]; they went to a lot of parties at his house in Los Angeles. He’s very, very charming. They were dazzled by him.”
In fact, the couple met Cruise years before they moved to Los Angeles in 2007, and another source who knows the couple said they were big fans of Tom.
According to Jenny Frankfurt, former manager of Victoria’s Spice Girls bandmate Geri Halliwell, the Beckhams had a series of photos of themselves with the star at their country home, dubbed Beckingham Palace.
Industry sources said Cruise tried to talk to the couple about Scientology and was politely told they were not interested.
In his 2022 book, “A Billion Years: my escape from a life in the highest ranks of Scientology,” former high-ranking Scientology official Mike Rinder claimed the church went to great expense trying to woo the Beckhams through Cruise.
“A professional-level soccer field was built on the Gold property [Base, the church’s headquarters in San Jacinto, California]. The field was leveled, irrigation was installed, turf was perfected and goals were erected,” Rinder wrote.
“A full-time caretaker was appointed among Gold’s staff…. It was built for one purpose only: that Tom Cruise might woo his friend David to come to Gold. It never happened.”
Together at numerous events
Cruise is a soccer fan and has been spotted at many of David’s matches.
David once revealed that he turned to the Oscar nominee for advice on whether he should leave Real Madrid and join LA Galaxy in a series of late night phone calls.
“Obviously, I also asked him for advice because he’s a very wise man; he’s a very good friend of mine,” Beckham said at the time.
Cruise threw the Beckhams a lavish “Welcome to Los Angeles” party when they moved to the United States.
Speaking in his Netflix documentary, “BECKHAM,” David recalled, “The funny thing was that I was friends with Tom Cruise. I remember Tom turned around and said, ‘Will and I are going to throw you a party.’ I was like ‘Will?’ And he said ‘Will Smith’.”
