Hold onto your seats, folks! The champagne was flowing, the stakes were high, and the excitement was palpable as Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan battled it out on the pitch of Munich's Allianz Arena for the European football crown. But the true showstoppers of the night were none other than Hollywood icon Tom Cruise (62) and football legend David Beckham (50), who commentated the Champions League final together for the US streaming service Paramount. This was all part of the extraordinary event titled "Beckham & Friends Live".
With a cavalier air, Cruise and Beckham took turns sharing their candid impressions with American viewers, turning the sporting event into an unparalleled entertainment experience. For Cruise, it was "Mission UEFA" instead of "Mission Impossible" - a welcome break from promoting his latest action film "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning" around the globe.
"I was invited by David, so of course I came," explained the self-proclaimed football aficionado Cruise. He and Beckham have been tight for decades and have even shared a pitch together. Both consider themselves more than just acquaintances. Before the match, the duo even shared a video clip on the official UEFA website, capturing their pre-game energy. "It's a great city, it's a great country," Cruise expressed his enthusiasm for Munich and Germany. He felt honored to be there.
