Unconventional Commentary: Tom Cruise and David Beckham's Unscripted Chat on Paramount
Tom Cruise and David Beckham exchanged comments on a recent matter. - Tom Cruise expresses his thoughts alongside David Beckham.
Get a load of this: Hollywood heartthrob Tom Cruise (62) and soccer titan David Beckham (50) teamed up to provide some offbeat commentary for the Champions League final on Paramount+. Instead of Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan duking it out on the field in Munich's Allianz Arena, these two were giving the gloves to each other at the microphone.
Before the match even kicked off, these legends got busy on "Beckham & Friends Live," dishing out their thoughts on the action unfolding in front of them for the American audience. Cruise, who's usually promoting his latest action flick, swapped "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning" for "Mission UEFA" - a mighty fine change of pace, if you ask me.
"I owe it all to Dave - you better believe I showed up when he invited me!" said Cruise, confessing his adoration for the beautiful game. They go way back, and Cruise has even watched Becks play a match or two. These twovalue their friendship. If you're curious about their banter before the game, head on over to the UEFA website, where they've got a video ready for you.
"Munich and Germany? Incredible city, incredible country!" Cruise raved about his adoration for the host city. This was a moment he'd always cherish, doing something different from the usual movie promo tour.
Tom Cruise's Love for Bavaria Reignited in Munich
Tom Cruise sure has a special bond with Munich. Back in 2010, during the premiere of "Knight and Day" in Germany, the 62-year-old star downed a stein at the Augustiner Keller. As fate would have it, he was back in the Bavarian capital for this iconic event.
David Beckham, meanwhile, was spotted relaxing on the terrace of the "Mandarin Oriental" hotel before the game started. Did someone say luxury? According to Bild, the 50-year-old former pro athlete stayed at the "Vier Jahreszeiten Kempinski" hotel, and his son Romeo (22) was with him.
Don't think that was the only star-studded event happening that day in Munich. Salt Bae, aka Nusret Gökçe (41), and quarterback Tom Brady (47) were also in attendance, soaking up the atmosphere at the Allianz Arena. The Bavarian Minister-President Markus Söder (58) couldn't miss out on the action, either.
