Tom Cruise has been "dragged" into David Beckham and Mark Wahlberg's feud after he turned up to celebrate Victoria Beckham's birthday.
The Hollywood icon was a guest at her star-studded 50th birthday bash on Saturday night where he reportedly did the splits on the dancefloor as other guests cheered him on. However, Tom, 61, appeared to be oblivious to what was coming as his appearance at the bash led to his own feud with Mark resurfacing online as Tom was accused of showing his loyalty to David.
A clip from 2013 resurfaced where Mark appeared to slam Top Gun star Tom for saying that sometimes he feels acting is akin to serving as a soldier. Asked if shooting a movie feels like being a soldier in Afghanistan he said: "That’s what it feels like and certainly on this last movie, it was brutal. it was brutal."

He said: "For actors to sit there and talk about, 'Oh, I went to SEAL training' — I don’t give a f**k about what you did.

"You don’t do what these guys do. You just don’t. For somebody to sit there and say my job was as difficult as being in the military. How f**king dare you, while you sit in a makeup chair for two hours. I don’t give a s**t if you’re getting your a** busted. You get to go home at the end of the day. You get to go to your hotel room. You get to order f**king chicken or steak, whatever the f**k is.”
Mark then requested that the host of the Q&A didn't ask him any further questions until he had calmed down and subsequently apologised for "losing his s**t." However, he later claimed that he had no beef with Tom and the whole thing was just a misunderstanding. He told TMZ: "I didn’t know that it was Tom Cruise that said that. Somebody just mentioned that people are [making that comparison]. I love Tom Cruise. I have much respect for Tom Cruise, but I have just as much respect for military guys, so it’s just unfair for anybody to comment on that."
David Beckham and Mark Wahlberg's legal feud

Victoria celebrated with an array of her famous friends (Instagram / Victoria Beckham)Last week David commenced legal proceedings over a fitness brand deal with Mark Wahlberg after claiming it cost him £8.5million. The legendary footballer's company, DB Ventures Ltd had joined forces with gym group F45 along with Mark and had agreed to be the firm's global ambassador. David and Mark had forged a friendship after the sportsman and his wife Victoria moved to LA in 2007, and lived in the same Beverly Hills neighbourhood. But now, David is reportedly claiming that he was "duped" by the Hollywood star.
According to The Sun, David is claiming that he was promised stocks by F45 and Mark Wahlberg's company but they were withheld until after share prices dropped, which in turn allegedly lost him £8.5m. And so the father of four has now taken legal action against Mark's company, Mark Wahlberg Investment Group [MWIG] and F45 founders Adam Gilchrist and Rob Deutsch.
In response to David's claims, Mark and F45 owners say the allegations of "fraudulent conduct" have no basis and have asked the judge to dismiss the lawsuit. They are also claiming that David's company are blaming everyone but themselves. The publication also reports that documents surrounding the case state the "209 page, 610 paragraph SAC [complaint] tries to make up with length what it lacks in merit."
