Tom Cruise Greets Fans in London

Tom Cruise turned on the charm as he worked the crowd outside of Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday party on Saturday night. 

The Mission Impossible star joined other celebrities – including Marc Anthony and Gordon Ramsay –  in London on April 20 to celebrate the fashion designer and former Spice Girl’s big day. As Cruise left the event, he signed autographs for fans who were eager to get a glimpse of the actor. 

Cruise looked dapper in dark shades and a black tux as he joined the crowd of celebs arriving for the bash at Oswald’s, a members-only club in London’s Mayfair neighborhood. 

As Cruise headed into the party, paparazzi scrambled to snap photos of the star. When one stumbled on the steps as he tried to get a shot, Cruise paused to help the man.

As he left the event, Cruise paused to interact with a crowd of fans waiting outside the club. He signed some items, including what appeared to be a poster for Top Gun.  

As the party wound down, the guest of honor was carried out by her husband, David Beckham. In February, Beckham injured her foot in a gym accident and arrived at her party on crutches. 

Guests at the star-studded celebration included all four of Beckham’s former groupmates in the Spice Girls : Mel B, Mel C, Geri Halliwell, and Emma Bunton. 

Tom Cruise Refused to Tell His Family About This Dangerous ‘Mission Impossible’ Stunt

Other celebs who partied with the Beckhams included Eva Longoria, Salma Hayek, and Jason Statham. The couple’s kids were also in attendance: Harper, Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz Beckham. 

Cruise’s appearance at the party was something of a surprise, given the rumors that he’d had a falling out with the Beckhams. Cruise and his then-wife Katie Holmes reportedly became close to the Beckhams in the late 2000s when they relocated from the U.K. to Los Angeles. But when Cruise tried to introduce the Beckhams to Scientology, the friendship fizzled, according to the New York Post . 

The actor’s decision to party with the Beckhams came just days after his daughter, Suri Cruise, whom he shares with Holmes, marked her 18th birthday in New York City. Cruise wasn’t present to celebrate with his daughter, as he was filming the next Mission Impossible movie in the U.K. The pair have not seen each other since 2012, according to Page Six .

From Tom Cruise breakdancing to Spice Girls reuniting, reports from Victoria Beckham's bash capture imagination

Tom Cruise breakdancing, a Spice Girls reunion and tons of A-list celebrities gathering in one location have social media and the general public in awe over Victoria Beckham's 50th birthday party.

Beckham, who celebrated half a century over the weekend, posted about the luxurious soiree Sunday on Instagram.

But some of the most buzzworthy moments went intentionally unrecorded.

"I don’t think I’ve ever felt as loved as I did last night," Beckham's post said. "Thank you all for coming from near and so far!! X"

In the post, Beckham shared pictures of her with actor Eva Longoria, celebrity Chef Gordon Ramsay, her husband, soccer star David Beckham and some of the couple's children.

In another Instagram post, Beckham shared a picture of her and the four other members of the English pop group, the Spice Girls.

"The best gift to be reunited!! Thank you to all my friends and family for celebrating with me. Kisses! xxx," Beckham's post about the Spice Girls said.

Guests 'absolutely dumbfounded' by Tom Cruise's dancing, reports say

Not included in either post were other famous attendees who came to celebrate with the Beckhams at Oswald’s, a private member’s club owned by Robin Birley in London's Mayfair district.

Oswald's is strict about taking photos and allowing social media within the venue , according to the club's member's privacy notice.

Actors Tom Cruise and Salma Hayek both made an appearance at Beckham's party and while one left an impression with their outfit, the other left it all on the dance floor, the Daily Mail reported.

Cruise, who turned 61 in July 2023, stunned guests when he began demonstrating "a series of breakdancing moves, culminating in splits," the outlet said.

"People were absolutely dumbfounded," one guest told the Daily Mail.

Social media reacts to Tom Cruise's 'split mania' and not receiving an invite to Victoria Beckham's party

While no photos or videos of Cruise dancing exist online, social media users continue to poke fun at the expense of the "Mission Impossible" movie star. An X user who goes by @Douggernaut_2 posted a clip of actor Mike Myers dancing in the film "Austin Powers" and said, "Tom Cruise arriving at Victoria Beckham's bday."

Several social media users hearkened back to when Cruise played the Les Grossman character in the 2008 comedy movie "Tropic Thunder." Cruise would hilariously reprise the character during the 2010 MTV Movie Awards and dance to rapper Ludacris' song "Get Back."

"Remember when Tom Cruise did this," X user @charletty_ said Monday in a post reacting to the video of Cruise's full dance routine at the awards show.

During the routine with singer and actress Jennifer Lopez, Cruise does a split on stage. X user @danilo_parks said Monday in a post, "It's real Tom Cruise does the splits mania out there today."

In addition to seeing Cruise do splits and the Spice Girls perform, guests also received goody bags full of Beckham's branded products, including a candle and a fragrance, the Telegraph reported.

All the fun has people wondering where their invite was to Beckham's birthday party, including X user @StaceyVaselaney who said, "I’m sitting here shaking my head wondering why wasn’t I invited to Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday party."

Tom Cruise Is a London Boy

Sometimes when God closes a door (Taylor Swift says “So long” ), She opens a window (Tom Cruise does the splits). Cruise is living that life in London, and for him that means break-dancing, doing the splits, and watching the British absolutely lose their crumpets. Cruise has lived in London since 2021 and has, in that time, been at the former queen’s Platinum Jubilee, the British Grand Prix, according to the Mercury News . And now he has attended the most British event of all: Posh Spice’s birthday party. Fortunately, he still has the American propensity to do the most. While at the party, Cruise began break-dancing and ended his routine by doing the splits, according to the Daily Mail . “People were absolutely dumbfounded,” a source mentioned. All we’ll say about that is that if there’s one thing the Mission: Impossible franchise could do to s ecure those Imax screens , it just might be a (gay?) club scene in which Cruise distracts the bad guys by jumping into the splits like a Drag Race contestant. Just an idea.

It was a risky business. 

Tom Cruise, 61, reportedly stole the show with agile dance moves at Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday bash, which happened in London on Saturday night. 

Cruise has reportedly been friends with Beckham and her husband, Inter Miami CF President David Beckham, 48, for two decades, and the “Mission: Impossible” star did a breakdance routine that wowed the A-list crowd. 

After a formal dinner at the private members club Oswald’s, over 100 guests hit the dance floor, where Cruise stunned guests.

There were no cameras allowed, but a source told the Daily Mail about the “Risky Business” star’s antics, “People were absolutely dumbfounded.” 

Other celeb guests included Gordon Ramsay, Eva Longoria, Salma Hayek, Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Guy Ritchie and all of the Beckham’s fellow former Spice Girls: Melanie “Mel B” Brown, Melanie “Mel C” Chisholm, Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell.

Cruise wasn’t the only dance star of the night — since all of the former Spice Girls reunited and did an impromptu performance of their 1997 single “Stop.” 

They busted out their signature dance moves from the iconic music video , as seen in footage shared by David Beckham via Instagram on Saturday.

“I mean come on x,” the retired soccer star captioned his post, tagging all five of the ladies and adding a series of heart emojis.

Fans quickly took to the comments section to weigh in on the epic moment, writing things like, “Is this the teaser for the reunion? Cause I’m here for it,” “Tour WHEN,” “We are all UNWELL” and “Thank you @davidbeckham for doing the lord’s work!”

Victoria re-shared the clip to her own page, calling her birthday soiree the “best night” ever. “Happy Birthday to me!” the fashion designer added. “I love you all so much! #SpiceUpYourLife.”

Victoria dressed to impress in a mint-green sleeveless gown with sparkling silver and gold bracelets on each wrist.

She accessorized with crutches , for her broken foot — a workout injury from February. But she was all smiles celebrating with famous pals, David and their four kids, Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21, Cruz, 19, and Harper, 12.

Notably, Brooklyn’s wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, 29, didn’t attend her mother-in-law’s party. 

She’s rumored to have a rocky relationship with Victoria, as they were allegedly feuding ahead of Peltz’s marriage to Brooklyn in April 2022.

“They can’t stand each other and don’t talk,” an insider close to the family previously told Page Six. “The build-up to the wedding was horrendous.”

Brooklyn has denied the rumors about an unhappy rapport between his wife and mom, telling Variety, “I’ve learned they’re always going to try to write stuff like that. They’re always going to try and put people down. But everyone gets along, which is good.” 

Victoria’s daughter-in-law took to her Instagram Story Saturday to share that she skipped out on the bash to spend time with her grandmother. 

“Happy Birthday to my beautiful MIL @victoriabeckham. I’m so sad I’m not there to celebrate you and hug you! Sending all my love from me and Naunni,” she said. 

Unfortunately, unlike the Spice Girls, party attendees have not posted footage of Cruise dancing, perhaps deciding that it’s too much of a risky business.

Tom Cruise pictured partying during daughter Suri Cruise's 18th birthday weekend

The mission impossible star shares suri with ex-wife katie holmes.

Tom Cruise is a father-of-three and on April 18th, his youngest daughter  Suri Cruise turned 18. 

The Mission Impossible star shares Suri with his ex-wife, Katie Holmes , and the birthday girl was pictured looking happy as she walked around New York City with a friend, while clutching onto a birthday present. 

Suri is thought to have celebrated more over the weekend with her mom, while Tom was pictured in London at another milestone birthday party. 

Tom was one of the many celebrity guests at Victoria Beckham's 50th birthday , which was held at Oswald's. 

Other well-known faces in attendance included Eva Longoria, Salma Hayek and Marc Anthony. The Spice Girls also reunited, with Emma Bunton, Geri Horner, Mel B and Mel C posing with the birthday girl. 

Tom was all smiles in a number of photos posted on the night, looking smart in a tuxedo. As well as Suri, Tom is also father to adopted grown-up children, Isabella 'Bella', 31, and Connor, 29, who he shares with ex-wife Nicole Kidman.

Bella lives in London and has a close relationship with her dad, having been spotted out showing her support for him on numerous occasions by wearing various Top Gun T-shirts, a nod to her dad's film. 

None of Tom's children have spoken out about their relationship with their dad in recent years and the actor is incredibly private when it comes to his personal life. 

When Suri was younger, however, she was in the public eye a lot more. She was born in Los Angeles where she was raised for the first few years of her life, before her parents' separation in 2012. She then relocated with her mom Katie to New York City. 

Katie has raised Suri to be incredibly down-to-earth and the pair have a close relationship. It's clear that Suri has developed her parents' talents for performing, and showcased her incredible singing voice back in 2022. 

Suri was heard singing the opening credits of Katie's film, Alone Together, when she was just 15. She sang a pitch-perfect rendition of Blue Moon, and her mom was more than proud. 

Chatting to Yahoo! Entertainment about her daughter's role in the movie, she said: "She's very, very talented. She said she would do it and she recorded it and I let her do her thing. "That's the way I direct in general: It's like, 'This is what I think we all want - go do your thing'." 

The mom-of-one was asked why she chose Suri for the job and she said: "I always want the highest level of talent, so I asked her." 

In 2022, Katie gave another rare snippet into her relationship with Suri, telling InStyle: "I love her so much. My biggest goal has always been to nurture her into her individuality. To make sure she is 100 per cent herself and strong, confident, and able. And to know it."
