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. So that’s why we got it,” the soccer ace told writer Grant Wahl for the new biography The Beckham Experiment.
David and Victoria have two other sons, Brooklyn, 10, and Romeo, who is six.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has slammed former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham for supporting a fashion chain that uses crocodile skin in its products.
The singer-turned-designer reportedly has a handbag collection estimated to be worth more than $1 million and is regularly seen with a Hermes bag on her arm. Officials at PETA are urging Victoria to give up the luxury brand because they frequently use animal skin.
“We will send Victoria Beckham, a compassionate person who won’t wear fur, our undercover footage that shows how alligators and crocodiles are beaten to death and how snakes are nailed to trees and skinned alive for these products,” says a PETA spokesperson.
“The mere thought of purposefully breeding and killing crocodiles for an outdated, overpriced handbag should make any fashionista’s skin crawl.”
