Cruise stated that Beckham ‘inspired generations around the world to watch and play the game’.
It also reminded me of the star’s iconic shot from the midfield line in a 1996 match.
‘The ball was in the air for only three and a half seconds. But that moment lives on in the minds of everyone who saw it and in the history of sports for three decades.’
Cruise continued: ‘And if you didn’t know who he was then, you sure did a few months later.’
A source close to the Beckhams told the Daily Mail: ‘This is such a turning point for David.
‘She never thought at the time that she and Tom would become friends, but they did, and there was only one person who could make the commencement speech on David’s behalf.’
The insider added: ‘The date night to watch Jerry Maguire is something both David and Victoria look back on fondly.’
Cruise and Beckham formed a long-term friendship after the football player signed a contract with LA Galaxy in 2007.
Cruise stated that Beckham “inspired generations around the world to watch and play the game.”
‘She never thought at the time that she and Tom would become friends but they became friends and there was only one person who could make the commencement speech on David’s behalf,’ the source said.
Beckham recently said: ‘All I wanted was to be a successful footballer for Manchester United and England’ Diversity.
‘That’s all I cared about. I didn’t care about the fame, the wealth, the admiration you received. All I cared about was being a football player.’
He continued: ‘To have a star now, to be a ‘Sir’, all these things that come with the career I’ve had, I feel very lucky.’
Beckham was also supported by his wife Victoria, who looked dazzling in her body-hugging dress, lavender dress and open-toe heels.
The couple, who got married in 1999, were seen sharing a sweet kiss at the ceremony in Hollywood.
Their children Romeo, Cruz and Harper also attended the ceremony. However, his son Beckham was conspicuously absent from the event.
