Victoria Beckham recreates Tom Cruise’s iconic dance
Victoria Beckham has sent fans into a frenzy after hilariously recreating Tom Cruise’s iconic Risky Business dance in a new Instagram reel shared by her son Cruz Beckham.
The lighthearted moment quickly went viral, offering a glimpse into the Beckham family’s Christmas celebrations, while also highlighting the ongoing absence of eldest son Brooklyn.
The clip, uploaded by 20-year-old Cruz, shows Victoria, 51, dancing enthusiastically to Bob Seger’s Old Time Rock and Roll.
The playful routine was a clear nod to Cruise’s legendary hallway dance scene from the 1983 cult classic, a moment that has remained one of Hollywood’s most memorable pop culture references.
The Beckham family spent Christmas at their picturesque Cotswolds home, surrounded by close relatives and festive cheer.
Cruz also shared snippets from the post-Christmas lunch celebrations and tagged Tom Cruise, who has been a longtime friend of David and Victoria Beckham since the early 2000s.
Fans flooded the comments with praise, with one writing, “I love this family so much,” while another joked, “Can I get an invite for next year?”
Tom Cruise has previously revealed that his famous Risky Business dance was improvised on the spot, adding that he opted to wear socks because the floor was “too sticky.” Victoria’s tribute was widely applauded for its humour and confidence, with fans dubbing her “Posh Spice in full mode.”
However, beneath the festive fun lies a more serious family tension. Brooklyn Beckham, 26, was noticeably absent from the celebrations and is said to have had no contact with his family for months.
Reports suggest the rift deepened after he missed his father David Beckham’s 50th birthday. Brooklyn and his wife, actress Nicola Peltz, 30, have remained in the US, fueling speculation about an ongoing feud.
The situation appeared to intensify on Boxing Day when David and Victoria shared a video of themselves dancing to Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb’s Guilty, featuring the pointed lyric, “We’ve got nothing to be sorry for.” Many fans interpreted the post as a subtle message amid claims that Brooklyn wants his parents to apologise to Nicola.
Despite the family strain, David and Victoria shared numerous photos from their close-knit Christmas, including sweet moments with daughter Harper, 14, and appearances by extended family members.
