Internet reacts to Tom Cruise as a guest on Paramount for the Champions League final

Tom Cruise's appearance on the Paramount streaming of the Champions League final set the internet on fire.

A fan wrote on X: “Tom Cruise and David Beckham are comparing their historical broken metatarsals on Paramount+, great scenes. Kate Scott has just explained to Cruise that the Champions League anthem is 'iconic'.”

Another fan said: “Tom Cruise on UCL Finale Coverage ??? He owns Paramount lmao.”

A fan was intrigued by the lineup on Paramount: “It’s wild you can watch a version of the match on Paramount Plus with 'Beckham and friends' and it’s like him and Tom Cruise and Odell Beckham Jr talking soccer.”

Another fan was fuming that they weren't a Paramount subscriber: “They got Tom Cruise talking footy on Paramount Plus, dawg.”

Tom Cruise wasn't David Beckham and Kate Scott's only guest on the show. Another Beckham, NFL wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., also made an appearance to discuss the event and soccer in general.

The United States is scheduled to host the FIFA World Cup next year. Paramount's UEFA Champions League final coverage might have ignited a new wave of fans' passion for the game.
