What could outshine a Spice Girls reunion, complete with dance moves? Tom Cruise does the splits.
The A-list actor left guests at Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday party in London on Saturday night speechless in amazement after performing an incredible ‘breakdancing’ routine – which culminated with the splits.
Super-fit Cruise, 61, who performs all his own stunts, was a surprise on the party guest list. In fact, he has known the Beckhams for 20 years and David “idolizes” him.
He’s in the UK as he finishes filming Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part Two, which is due to hit theaters next year.
Tom Cruise, 61, arrives at Oswald’s, in Mayfair, for Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday party on Saturday.

After a formal dinner, the Top Gun actor was one of the most enthusiastic dancers among the 120 people gathered at Oswalds private club in Mayfair.
Dressed in full black tie, including a vest, Cruise stunned many when he demonstrated a series of breakdancing moves, culminating with the splits. One guest said: “People were absolutely stunned. »
Unfortunately, the cameras were strictly banned by the Beckhams and it’s not believed anyone sneaked a photo.
Cruise has been seen on screen in some spectacular moves – most notably in his 1983 hit film, Risky Business, when he slid across the floor in his underwear and socks to the sounds of Old Time Rock n Roll.
More recently, when he played producer Les Grossman in the comedy Tropic Thunder, he grooved with improbable swagger to Ludacris’ Get Back.

Apparently his turn on the Oswalds dance floor was much more in the Tropic Thunder vein. Emerging early in the morning and wearing dark glasses, Cruise beamed from ear to ear and signed autographs.
It was a joyful evening and Victoria was both “delighted” by the success of the party and “moved” by the turnout, which included good friends like chef Gordon Ramsay and his wife Tana, actress Eva Longoria and singer Marc Anthony, who had flown in from Miami with his new wife Nadia. (David was the best man at Anthony’s fourth wedding earlier this year and Anthony performed at Brooklyn Beckham’s wedding.)
Actress Salma Hayek was also in attendance with her fashion mogul husband François-Henri Pinault. Other guests included Vogue editor-in-chief Edward Enninful and model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley with her actor husband Jason Statham. Guy Ritchie – Becks’ close friend – and his wife Jacquie were also in attendance, as well as Victoria’s family, including her younger sister Louise.

“Victoria truly seemed to be in seventh heaven,” said one guest. “I’m afraid she woke up with a headache.”
Guests also included all of the Spice Girls – Emma Bunton, Mel B, Mel C and Geri Halliwell – which was her biggest wish since she sent ‘Save the Date’ cards in February, as revealed this journal.
“It was a lot of fun being together, but it was also a meaningful moment for everyone,” a friend said. “They had arguments and arguments – there were a lot of them, but they all loved being there to celebrate with Victoria and her family.”

There were performances by the Spice Girls, who sang and danced while the DJ played a medley of Spice Girls tracks.
The festivities were fueled by “dozens” of bottles of Don Julio 1942 tequila worth £170. This alcohol is particularly popular because it is very low in calories.

Earlier in the evening, the song Mama was performed by Victoria’s son Cruz as a speech. Brooklyn, Romeo, Harper and David gave speeches praising Victoria for her qualities as a mother, wife and entrepreneur.

David treated Victoria to a piggyback ride to her birthday party in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Victoria looked in good spirits as David helped his wife into the back of a waiting car after the party.
The oldest boy, Brooklyn, appeared to hold back tears as he told her: “You are the best mom in the world and we all love you so much.” Husband David told the room he “adored” his wife. They have been married for 25 years as of July.
Ms. Beckham is having so much fun that at one point during the evening she threw away the canes she arrived with (she broke her foot at the gym in February) so she could dance.
