In a shocking turn of events, NFL tight end Travis Kelce and Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise have become the most unlikely of best friends.
The news has left fans and followers of both stars stunned, with many taking to social media to express their disbelief.
“Travis Kelce and Tom Cruise becoming best friends was not on my bingo card,” wrote one Twitter user. “But I guess you could say they’re both ‘mission impossible’ to ignore!”
The unlikely duo was spotted together at a recent Los Angeles Lakers game, with Kelce, 34, and Cruise, 61, sitting courtside and cheering on the team. They were later seen leaving the stadium together, with Kelce wearing a Mission Impossible-themed hat and Cruise sporting a Kansas City Chiefs jersey.
According to sources close to the pair, they met at a private party in Beverly Hills last month and hit it off immediately. “They just clicked,” said the insider. “They’re both high-energy guys who love to have fun and live life to the fullest.”
Since then, Kelce and Cruise have been inseparable, with the NFL star even visiting the actor on the set of his latest film. “Tom showed Travis around the set and introduced him to the crew,” said the source. “Travis was like a kid in a candy store, he was so excited.”
The friendship has also led to some hilarious moments, with Kelce teaching Cruise how to do a touchdown dance and Cruise showing Kelce how to do a few of his famous movie stunts. “They’re like two peas in a pod,” said the insider. “They’re always laughing and joking around.”
While some fans have expressed surprise at the unlikely friendship, others have embraced it. “I love seeing Travis and Tom together,” wrote one fan on Instagram. “They’re both such positive and uplifting guys, it’s great to see them supporting each other.”
As for what’s next for the unlikely duo, sources say they’re planning a joint project that will combine their love of sports and movies. “They’re talking about doing a football-themed movie together,” said the insider. “It’s still in the early stages, but it’s going to be a lot of fun.”
In the meantime, Kelce and Cruise will continue to enjoy each other’s company and live life to the fullest. As Kelce tweeted recently, “Life is short, but friendships like this make it all worth it.”
