Tom Cruise is desperate to strengthen his friendship with David Beckham mainly because of the former football legend’s royal connections.
According to reports, the two first became close when Beckham moved to Los Angeles in 2007, and Cruise helped the family settle into Hollywood life.
An insider told Heat Magazine that David and Victoria enjoy Cruise’s company but prefer smaller and low-key gatherings, finding him “too intense” for anything beyond brief meetings.
“David likes Tom but only in small doses, he finds him way too intense for anything much more than a meet and greet,” the insider said.
“He and Victoria don’t tend to go out in London much these days, which is where Tom likes to hold court with his afternoon tea parties and meet-ups with well-heeled society pals,” they added.
