Tom Cruise and David Beckham's Fascinating Match-Up as Commentators for the Thrilling Champions League Final in Munich

It was an evening of epic battles - on the field and off. While Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan fought tooth and nail for the European football title at the Allianz Arena in Munich (final score: 5-0 for Paris), two other heavyweights locked horns in a commentary duel. Hollywood matey, Tom Cruise (62), andfootballing legend, David Beckham (50), teamed up to provide expert analysis to the American audience on the US streaming service, Paramount. This was part of the entertaining event, "Beckham & Friends Live."
For Cruise, it was more like "Mission UEFA" rather than his usual "Mission: Impossible" - a refreshing change from promoting his latest action flick, "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning." You know, the one that's taking the world by storm.
Cruise, a self-proclaimed football fanboy, had this to say, "I was invited by David, so of course I came." The two have been mates for decades, and if you ask me, they'd make an excellent double act - like Laurel and Hardy but with superior good looks. A cheeky pre-match clip of their commentary is up on the UEFA official website for your viewing pleasure. And let me tell you, Cruise was thrilled with the city and the country, saying Munich is a great city and Germany is a great country. Aww, isn't that sweet?
Cruise's Love Affair with Munich Continues
Tom Cruise has always had a soft spot for the Bavarian capital. Way back in 2010, during the German premiere of his film "Knight and Day," he even downed a stein of beer at the Augustiner Keller. Classy chap, isn't he?
On the other hand, David Beckham was spotted casual-ing it up on the terrace of the swanky "Mandarin Oriental" hotel before the game. According to Bild newspaper, Beckham and his all-grown-up son, Romeo (22), stayed at the equally plush "Vier Jahreszeiten Kempinski" hotel. Cool vibes all around!
In addition to Cruise, Beckham, and the kidz, there was a host of other A-listers in attendance to watch the one-sided sporting event. Salt Bae (a.k.a Nusret Gökçe), a world-renowned restaurateur, and football superstar, Tom Brady (47), were seen cheering in the stands alongside the Bavarian Minister-President, Markus Söder (58).
