Tom Cruise turned on the charm as he worked the crowd outside of Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday party on Saturday night. 

The Mission Impossible star joined other celebrities – including Marc Anthony and Gordon Ramsay –  in London on April 20 to celebrate the fashion designer and former Spice Girl’s big day. As Cruise left the event, he signed autographs for fans who were eager to get a glimpse of the actor.

As the party wound down, the guest of honor was carried out by her husband, David Beckham. In February, Beckham injured her foot in a gym accident and arrived at her party on crutches.

Other celebs who partied with the Beckhams included Eva Longoria, Salma Hayek, and Jason Statham. The couple’s kids were also in attendance: Harper, Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz Beckham. 

Cruise’s appearance at the party was something of a surprise, given the rumors that he’d had a falling out with the Beckhams. Cruise and his then-wife Katie Holmes reportedly became close to the Beckhams in the late 2000s when they relocated from the U.K. to Los Angeles. But when Cruise tried to introduce the Beckhams to Scientology, the friendship fizzled, according to the New York Post. 

The actor’s decision to party with the Beckhams came just days after his daughter, Suri Cruise, whom he shares with Holmes, marked her 18th birthday in New York City. Cruise wasn’t present to celebrate with his daughter, as he was filming the next Mission Impossible movie in the U.K. The pair have not seen each other since 2012, according to Page Six.
