Tom Cruise’s Deep Soccer Passion and Friendship with David Beckham
Tom Cruise and David Beckham have been close friends for nearly 20 years. According to CBS, back in 2007, Cruise threw a big, star-studded party in Los Angeles to welcome Beckham after he joined the LA Galaxy. Their friendship has only gotten stronger since then, and this Saturday’s Champions League final is another benchmark.
Tom Cruise’s interest in soccer began long before Beckham arrived in the U.S. In a 2012 interview with Sky Sports, Cruise said he has followed soccer since the 1980s.
Over the years, he has been seen at several crucial matches. He watched Manchester United’s 3-2 win over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in 2012. Last year, he attended the women’s soccer gold medal match at the Paris Olympics, where the U.S. team beat Brazil to win their fifth gold. Saturday’s Champions League final won’t be his first either—he was spotted at Sevilla’s 1-0 win over Rangers in 2009 during the group stage.
