In a bygone era, Tom Cruise and the Beckhams boasted one of the most beloved friendships in Hollywood, often spotted together at various events alongside Cruise’s then-wife Katie Holmes and David and Victoria Beckham. Their bond strengthened in 2007 when the Beckham duo relocated to Los Angeles, yet their closeness eventually waned as time passed. But Beckham accepted that Tom Cruise was a better-looking man than him.
When David Beckham joined the LA Galaxy team, David and Victoria Beckham opted to relocate to the United States, with Tom Cruise reportedly playing a pivotal role in introducing them to other prominent figures in the entertainment world.
David Beckham Accepted That Tom Cruise Is a Better-Looking Man
During a CNN interview, David Beckham fielded a range of questions, one of which drew parallels between his own popularity and that of Tom Cruise. When asked, who’s more popular among the two, Beckham replied (via YouTube) without any hesitation,
“Him without a doubt. Everyone loves Tom Cruise, he’s an amazing person.”
The interviewer also asked Beckham who’s better looking between the two. David Beckham’s answer to the question was the same, as he said,
“Him without a doubt. Have you seen him in person?”
Enthusiasts of the ex-soccer sensation had anticipated uncovering details about the speculated conflict in David Beckham’s recent Netflix documentary. While the topic remained untouched, he candidly discussed the challenges he encountered during the early 2000s, which nearly led to a rift in his marriage with Victoria.
Meanwhile, an insider, speaking to Radar Online (via NZ Herald), alleged that the root cause of the trio’s separation was Tom Cruise’s desire for the Beckhams to delve deeper into the Church of Scientology, of which he is a prominent member. According to the insider, the couple reportedly displayed a lack of interest, prompting their decision to distance themselves from their friendship with the actor.
David Beckham Had a Hard Time Facing Wrath of Fans
Recognized as an influential and motivating figure in the world of football, English soccer icon David Beckham has been involved in some of the sport’s most defining moments, which have shaped his legacy both on and off the field. With multiple appearances in the FIFA World Cup Tournaments, his dedication and impact have been widely acknowledged. However, it was during the 1998 FIFA World Cup match against Argentina that Beckham encountered one of the most challenging periods of his career.
Beckham witnessed taking a hard fall after a foul committed by the opposing team’s midfielder, Diego Simeone. Overcome with frustration, Beckham retaliated with a kick, resulting in the dramatic collapse of the player on the field. As a consequence of his actions, Beckham was issued a red card and forced to sit out, ultimately contributing to England’s loss in the World Cup. In a previous interview with The Guardian, his wife, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, recounted the hurtful comments directed at him.
In the face of defeat and shame, people demonstrated their malicious and uncouth behavior, swiftly resorting to blaming and defaming Beckham. Their actions escalated to the point of burning an effigy of him in close proximity to his birthplace.
