England might have got off to an incredible start at the Euro 2020 final against Italy (before the Italians equalised, and then won...), but there was something else that caught viewers’ attention.
Football legend David Beckham and Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise sent Twitter into a frenzy after the pair marked England’s 1-0 lead – which came from Luke Shaw in the opening minutes of the game – with a celebratory fist bump.

Personal highlights of the first half:

1. Luke Shaw's blinding finish
2. Jordan Pickford just existing for 94 minutes
3. David Beckham in the crowd sharing a fistbump with Tom Cruise who was also sitting next to Jeff Goldblum for some reason.
Been a good half!

Really sweet that even after all these years Tom Cruise still gets an empty seat next to him for Goose. #ENGITA pic.twitter.com/oD1WndHmsZ

Just a shame there wasn’t anything more to fist-bump about at the end...
