LONDON, ENGLAND: Tom Cruise has been accused by Mel B of dancing in a “weird and terrible” way at friend Victoria Beckham's 50th birthday bash.
The English fashion designer turned 50 on April 17, 2024, and her celebrity-packed birthday was celebrated in London, which was attended by both the ‘Jack Reacher’ actor and the ‘Spice World’ actress, as reported by Radar Online.
Tom Cruise was trying to reenact the dance moves of his fictional character, the overweight movie producer Les Grossman from the movie ‘Tropic Thunder’.

Mel B says Tom Cruise’s dance was the ‘weirdest’
Now, Mel in the new Netflix show ‘Celebrity Bear Hunt’ has revealed, “We were at Victoria’s 50th birthday and her son, Cruz, started singing 'Mama' on the guitar and David (Beckham) was like pushing us all up,” as per The Sun.
“All five of us were singing and then Tom Cruise made a circle and he did that dance from that movie, for some reason,” she continued, before noting, “We were all like dancing away and he goes ‘Come on, man! Come on!’ He starts getting together in this circle.”

“So he goes in the circle first — Tom Cruise! — and starts doing all this . . . (imitates gyrating). I went ‘Oh my God!’ and that’s why I left the circle. It was the weirdest dance,” the television personality explained.

Tom Cruise following ‘insane workout routine’ to beat aging
Mel B's revelation came after another report claimed that the ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ actor has been risking his health to stay young.
A mole reportedly said, “Tom is always pushing his body to improve.”
They further elaborated, “A few years ago, he started to get interested in all aspects of breathing and how dialing it in can be a game-changer for overall health. The first thing he did was taping his mouth shut at night to ensure that he was breathing through his nose.”
“It's bizarre because he looks like he's in some sort of hostage situation every time he goes to bed, but he claims it's done wonders for his health. Tom had a special tank built where he can practice holding his breath underwater every day. It's part of his insane workout routine now,” the source added.
