David Beckham's BFF is Tom Cruise. The New York Daily News gabbed about the book, "The Beckham Experiment," and how an entire chapter of the book has been devoted to the love between the soccer player and the Hollywood actor. Beckham raved about Cruise so much that it almost sounded like he has a huge crush. . . er, a bad case of hero-worship for the latter.

The two met in 2003 and Beckham admitted that Cruise has influenced every important decision he has made since then. They have the same agency, the same PR firm, and when the Beckham family moved to L.A., they relocated at Tom and Katie's neighborhood.

The L.A. Galaxy job, Tom had a say on that. Beckham's physical therapist, Tom recommended that. Even the naming of their third son, Cruz, was influenced by Tom Cruise. How cozy!

In fact, according to Beckham, the only thing they do not share is Tom's love of scientology. Says he: "It's something I respect, because Tom's explained to me and Victoria what it's all about. But he's never turned around and said, 'That is what you should be doing,' because he would never do that. He and Katie have their beliefs ... but me and Victoria have also got our own."
