Tom Cruise Battles David Beckham And Will Smith

TOM CRUISE has reportedly recruited Hollywood pals DAVID BECKHAM and WILL SMITH to join him in his newest hobby: fencing.

The Mission: Impossible star is said to have built a room in his U.S. home for practicing his swordsmanship - and often invites close friends Smith and Beckham to join him in the sport.

Smith tells British newspaper the Daily Mirror, "Tom has a room for training. We don't get enough time for hanging out, just us three guys, so this is his way of getting together and bonding.

"David and I go to his home and just do fencing. It's a lot of fun.

"We wanted an activity that was strenuous, but we're getting older - we have to think about slowing down. We've got to watch our joints. Especially my knee... Ow."
