What could upstage a Spice Girls reunion, complete with dance moves? Tom Cruise doing the splits.
The A-list actor left guests at Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday party in London on Saturday night gaping in amazement after performing an incredible breakdancing routine, which culminated in the splits.
Super fit Cruise, 61, who is famous for doing all his own stunts, was a surprise on the party guest list. In fact, he has known the Beckhams for 20 years and David ‘idolizes’ him.
He is in the UK while completing filming on Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part Two, which will be released in cinemas next year.

The super fit Cruise, famous for doing all his own stunts, was a surprise on the party guest list.
After a formal dinner, the Top Gun actor was one of the most enthusiastic dancers in the crowd of 120 at Oswalds private club in Mayfair.
Wearing full black tie, including a vest, Cruise surprised many when he demonstrated a series of breakdancing moves, culminating in splits. One guest said: “People were absolutely flabbergasted.”
Unfortunately, the Beckhams strictly banned cameras and no one is believed to have surreptitiously taken a photo.
Cruise has been seen doing famous moves on screen, memorably in his 1983 hit film Risky Business, when he slid across the floor in his underwear and socks to Old Time Rock n Roll.
More recently, when he played producer Les Grossman in the comedy Tropic Thunder, he played Ludacris’ Get Back with improbable swagger.

Apparently his turn on the Oswalds dance floor was much more along the lines of Tropic Thunder. Cruise came out early and wore dark glasses, smiling from ear to ear and signing autographs.
It was a joyful evening and Victoria was “elated” by the success of the party and “moved” by the attendance, which included good friends such as chef Gordon Ramsay and his wife Tana, actress Eva Longoria and singer Marc Anthony , who had arrived by plane from Miami with his new wife Nadia. (David was the best man at Anthony’s fourth wedding earlier this year and Anthony performed at Brooklyn Beckham’s wedding.)
Also present were actress Salma Hayek and her husband, fashion mogul Francois-Henri Pinault. Other guests included Vogue editor Edward Enninful and model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley with her husband, actor Jason Statham. Becks’ close friend Guy Ritchie and his wife Jacquie were also there, along with Victoria’s family, including her younger sister Louise.

“Victoria really seemed to be in seventh heaven,” said one guest. “However, I’m afraid she must have woken up with a headache.”
Among the guests were also significantly all the Spice Girls – Emma Bunton, Mel B, Mel C and Geri Halliwell – which had been her greatest wish since she sent ‘Save the Date’ cards in February, as revealed by this newspaper .
“Getting together was a lot of fun, but it was also a meaningful moment for all of them,” a friend said. “They’ve had fights and fights, lots of them, but everyone loved being there to celebrate with Victoria and her family.”

Victoria seemed in high spirits as David helped his wife into the back of a waiting car after the party.
The oldest, Brooklyn, seemed to hold back tears when he told her: “You are the best mother in the world and we all love you very much.” Husband David told the courtroom that he “adores” his wife. This July they celebrate 25 years of marriage.
Mrs. Beckham is having such a good time that at one point during the night she put aside the canes she arrived with (she broke her foot at the gym in February) so she could dance.
