Victoria Beckham defends Cruise
Former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham has lashed out at critics of Tom Cruise - insisting he is "genuine" and "lovely".
The singer and her soccer star husband David Beckham are both close pals of Cruise and wife Katie Holmes and insist criticism of their scientology beliefs and their parentage of baby Suri is unfair.
"People say he's strange or whatever but he's not, he's just a genuinely lovely, caring person," she said.
"And Katie? She's one of the most down-to-earth celebrities I've ever met. I couldn't imagine a better person for Tom.
"I haven't seen (Cruise's daughter) Suri in the flesh yet, just in pictures and she looks so beautiful, the spitting image of her dad.
"Tom calls me all the time and he's so in love with that little girl, he'll phone just to talk about her."
