Tom Cruise may have been the talk of Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday party, but his antics didn’t go down well with Mel B, who was also in attendance.
The Hollywood actor, 62, delighted attendees when he recreated his famous over-the-top moves from Tropic Thunder, where he played the outrageous movie producer Les Grossman.
In the 2008 film, Cruise’s character busts out a hilariously cringeworthy hip-hop dance to Ludacris’ Get Back during the end credits.
The bash in April also saw Beckham and Mel B reunite with their fellow girlband members Emma Bunton, Geri Horner and Melanie C.
It seems Cruise’s display was totally lost on Mel B, 49, who said she simply had to walk away from it.
She told The Sun: “We were at Victoria’s 50th birthday and her son, Cruz, started singing Mama on the guitar and David (Beckham) was like pushing us all up. All five of us were singing and then Tom Cruise made a circle and he did that dance from that movie, for some reason.
‘We were all like dancing away and he goes ‘’Come on, man! Come on!’’ He starts getting together this circle. So he goes in the circle first – Tom Cruise! – and starts doing all this…
“I went ‘Oh my God!’ and that’s why I left the circle. It was the weirdest dance.”
Mel B is currently among 12 celebrities taking part in Netflix’s new survival series Bear Hunt.
Other celebs taking part include Boris Becker, Danny Cipriani, Steph McGovern, Big Zuu, Una Healy, Joe Thomas, Lottie Moss, Shirley Ballas, Kola Bokinni, Leomie Anderson, and Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen.
