Tom Cruise trying to reignite David Beckham friendship, sources suggest
According to RadarOnline, Cruise was left “stunned” after Beckham “suddenly” reduced contact. The two first bonded in 2007 when Beckham moved to Los Angeles with Victoria. Cruise welcomed them into his social circle at the time, and Beckham said, “I asked for his advice because he’s a very wise man and a very good friend of mine.”
Sources say Cruise has attempted to reconnect following his split from Ana de Armas. One insider said, “Tom keeps trying to get in touch, but David hardly replies. It’s really shaken him. He keeps saying he can’t fathom how someone who used to lean on him could suddenly shut him out.” Another source added, “Tom genuinely believed their friendship was rock solid, so this has been a real blow.”
Individuals close to Beckham described the need for distance. A source said, “David is fond of Tom, but only in limited bursts. He finds him a bit overwhelming.” They added that Beckham prefers low-key time in London and “would rather go to London to eat his favorite pie and mash than listen to wellbeing and career talk.”
The outlet also reported that Cruise focused on Beckham as part of efforts to build a “power base” in the United Kingdom. Another source said, “He’ll say, ‘He backed me years ago, and now we can team up again.’ But David simply isn’t engaging.”
The report additionally cites concerns about Cruise encouraging friends to learn more about Scientology, noting that the Beckhams have kept a polite distance despite Victoria hosting him at her fiftieth birthday in 2024.
