There’s been a long-standing bromance between Will Smith and Tom Cruise in Hollywood. Smith talked highly of his buddy, despite the fact that they had never worked together on a project. Most importantly these two share a common love for physical fitness. Another celebrity who shares Smith and Cruise’s common love and friendship is renowned footballer David Beckham.

Being supremely dedicated to fitness and being the eldest of the three men, Tom often shares his fitness tips with these two. He has shared one of his secrets to being fit with Smith and Beckham, which they have gotten hooked on. However, it is not the secret to being gorgeous.

Cruise has shared a love for antiquated sports with Will Smith and David Beckham

Will Smith once shared how Tom Cruise introduced him and Beckham to fencing which has become their inseparable hobby. As someone who is still very fit at the age of 60, fitness freaks from all over the world take Cruise’s fitness tips very seriously. Hence it was natural for Smith and Beckham to try the antiquated sports the 60-year-old actor recommended them.

Given how difficult and energizing fencing is, it seems sensible that celebrities who like being immersed in action choose fencing as a unique kind of exercise. In an interview given to The Mirror in 2008, Will Smith said, “David and I go to his home and just do fencing. It’s a lot of fun.”

The King Richard actor mentioned that Tom Cruise happened to have room for training, hence he and Beckham joined him. He also mentioned that, apart from learning a new sport, fencing is a way for them to spend time together. Given that all of them are very busy, it is one way for them to spend time together and bond.

Surprisingly, the Men in Black actor and the multi-millionaire soccer player are not the only ones crazy about this sport. Legendary pop star Madonna is undeniably a die-hard fan of fencing. Also, Mr. and Mrs. Smith star Angelina Jolie, who is yet another fitness idol, has been doing this since she was a teenager.

Well, fencing sure seems like something celebrities are crazy about. Tell us in the comments what is your go-to sport.
