Cruise control in Notting Hill

David Beckham and Tom Cruise have been friends for years, but they left locals in Notting Hill flabbergasted when they were spotted having a drink together in a local pub on Monday.

Local Lisa Freid ‘’couldn’t believe” her eyes when she spotted the A listers at the The Cow Irish pub. She photographed the pair and added the pictures to her Instagram account. Other postings included the hashtags’#wtf #justnexttous #chilling (sic)’

Another Instagram account posted a picture with the caption: “Another Monday night at the pub with David and Tom.”

David, 39 and Tom, 51, became friends when the Beckhams moved to Los Angeles in 2007; David has spoken publicly about his movie nights with his friend Tom and their families.

While the incredibly fit Beckham apparently chose a pint of Guinness as his tipple, Tom appeared to have just a glass of water, although both appeared to be mixing their drinks as they also had glasses of red wine on their table.
