Tom Cruise Showed Up at the Manchester Derby

So I guess Tom Cruise is a Manchester City fan? With a full diary of filming for his new movie ‘All You Need Is Kill’ down in Hertfordshire and a series of London red carpet premieres to grace, Tom Cruise needed to pull out all the stops to get to the stellar Premier League game.

So Cruise chartered a private helicopter to transport him and veteran actor Robert Duvall 200 miles up to Manchester for the big game between Manchester City and Manchester United.

Cruise is of course a soccer/football fan in large part because of his friendship with David Beckham, who he saw win the La Liga title with Real Madrid and has also attended a number of LA Galaxy games. However, apparently the camera caught Tom Cruise chatting away on his cell phone during the match…not engrossed in the game.
