David Beckham Respects Tom Cruise’s Religion
SAYS David Beckham on Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes: “We respect their religion. We respect everything they do and believe in.”
Having helped the Los Angeles Galaxy to play no part in the MLS Cup Playoffs, David has selflessly freed up his time to bring football to the masses. And if that means cementing fledgling celebrity friendships then so be it.
At a time when other pros of his vintage are starring in such treats as Premier League All Stars on satellite TV, Becks has forgone the chance to tackle Angus Deayton and high-five Lee Latchford Evans from Steps to work on his game.
And on Tom Cruise and Katie he says: “But they have never turned around to us and said, ‘You have to be part of this’, because that’s now what we’re about.”
Indeed not. Posh and Becks are not Scientologists. Her Poshness has been seen sporting the red-string Kaballah bracelet. And it was half-Jewish David who hymned: “I definitely want Brooklyn to be christened, but I don’t know into what religion yet.” That’s what they are about.
Says Dave: “They are amazing people who are just so positive about life and they have been great to us.”
And when David is talking about not talking about Scientology with celebrity Scientologist Tom Cruise, he is talking three or four times a week with Jennifer Lopez’s husband Marc Anthony, a potential Scientologist.
Dave is putting in the hard yards. It was David who said: I’m just here for the red-carpet side.”
But it’s not all work. David’s home life comes first. “I bring them up exactly how I was brought up,” says David of his children, who may find it a chore to get Brooklyn to Chingford for net practice.
It’s not like he’s got a space ship to whiz him there in a trice is it. Is it?

I love Tom Cruise. He’s funny. I know lots of actors - they all have mad belief systems, they need something that stops them feeling insecure without making them give up showbiz and do something worthwhile instead (that’s why mainstream religions like Christianity and Islam are best avoided or adapted).
Every rehearsal I’ve been to this year has started with a horoscope reading.

With months to heal up maybe David can play a bit next season. I dont think it will help The Galaxy much but he may enjoy a kick about. If he gets bored in the meantime he can always stop by my house, I have a goal in the back yard (for my grandchilden Anorak
)
If he waits until January there’s liable to be several feet of snow out there, that should make things interesting.

Hmmm, I wonder which half of Beckham is Jewish? The top or the bottom?
