Victoria Beckham showcased her playful side this Christmas, hilariously recreating Tom Cruise's legendary dance routine from the 1983 film 'Risky Business'. The moment was captured and shared by her 20-year-old son, Cruz, in a new Instagram reel that delighted fans.
A Festive Nod to a Hollywood Classic
The clip, posted on Christmas Day, shows the 51-year-old fashion icon grooving to Bob Seger's 'Old Time Rock And Roll' in a clear homage to Cruise's iconic hallway scene. Cruz cleverly tagged the Hollywood superstar in the post, which offered a glimpse into the Beckhams' post-lunch celebrations at their Cotswolds estate. The family, including Victoria's parents and David's mother, gathered for a close-knit festive period, though one member was conspicuously missing.
The absence of eldest son Brooklyn, 26, was particularly notable. Reports suggest he and his wife, actress Nicola Peltz, 30, have had no contact with his side of the family for months. The rift reportedly stems from a row that exploded after Brooklyn missed his father David's 50th birthday celebrations earlier in the year.
Pointed Posts Amid Ongoing Family Tensions
The lighthearted dance video comes against a backdrop of reported tension within the famous family. On Boxing Day, David and Victoria appeared to send a pointed message via their own social media post. They shared a video of themselves dancing to Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb's song 'Guilty', which features the lyrics: 'We've got nothing to be sorry for'. Victoria captioned the post, 'David and Victoria giving their very best Barry and Barbra on Christmas Day'.
This post was interpreted by many as a direct response to claims that Brooklyn wants his parents to apologise to him and Nicola before reconciliation can occur. A source told The Daily Mail this week that the couple felt targeted during a 'long briefing war' and that an apology was necessary to mend the relationship. 'The person who caused the pain does not get to decide when they declare it is over,' the source claimed.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn has remained in the United States with Nicola. He made his own pointed statement on social media, declaring his wife is 'his everything', and has reportedly blocked his family on Instagram.
Fans React and a Hollywood Secret Revealed
Back on Cruz's Instagram, fans were charmed by the family's festive spirit. Comments flooded in, with followers writing, 'I love this family so much' and 'Can I get an invite for next year?'. Others referenced the family dynamic, with one user noting, 'I don’t know why Brooklyn cut off ties with you. Your family seems fun'.
The video also revived interest in the origins of Cruise's iconic scene. Tom Cruise previously revealed that his sock-sliding dance was improvised on the spot. He confessed he chose to wear only socks because the floor of the set was 'too sticky' for shoes, a spontaneous decision that created one of cinema's most memorable moments.
Despite the underlying family drama, the Beckhams' Christmas album showed them making the best of the holiday. Snaps included Victoria posing with Cruz and David sharing a sweet embrace with their 14-year-old daughter, Harper. For now, the family's festive fun, underscored by a classic movie dance, has provided a cheerful public facade while private matters reportedly remain unresolved.
