David and Victoria Beckham named their third and youngest son after pal Tom Cruise. The soccer star and former pop star wife became close friends with the Top Gun star in 2003,and when the pair welcomed a new baby in 2005, they used the eccentric actor as the inspiration behind the naming of little Cruz Beckham.
“I must admit, when Victoria and I met Tom, I remember turning around to Victoria and saying, ‘Cruise is a great name, but we could spell it different.’ And also, living in Spain, Cruz is spelled the way it is in Spanish.
