Tom Cruise has joked that Taylor Swift “schooled” him on American football at a recent National Football League (NFL) game.
On Monday, the Top Gun: Maverick actor sat next to the music superstar in a box at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, to watch the Kansas City Chiefs play the Denver Broncos.<\/p>\n
During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday night, host Jimmy asked Tom what it was like to sit next to Taylor.<\/p>\n
“(Taylor) was schooling me on football. For real. She was bringing the football,” he smiled. “I hadn’t been to a football game since pre-Covid. So, to get to hang out there and to have that moment, (it) was a lot of fun.”<\/p>\n
In addition, Tom noted that it was great to see Taylor and her husband, Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce.<\/p>\n
“They’re a beautiful couple and magical in their own right,” the 64-year-old gushed.<\/p>\n
And the Mission: Impossible star also revealed that Taylor told him Travis was “very patient” with her when they first started dating and she was learning about the NFL.<\/p>\n
“I’m sure he was,” he teased. “I think anybody would be very patient… She’s funny, she’s got such a great sense of humour, (is) a brilliant writer, brilliant musician, director, very skilled.”<\/p>\n
Elsewhere in the interview, Tom promoted his new movie, Digger. Responding to rumours that the Alejandro G. I\u00f1\u00e1rritu-directed film is actually a musical, the action man insisted it isn’t.<\/p>\n
“No, but I think it’s a very good idea. I think we should do Digger: The Musical,” he added.<\/p>\n
Digger will open in cinemas on 2 October.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tom Cruise has joked that Taylor Swift “schooled” him on American football at a recent National Football League…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":900309,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[3050,49,48,1743,311524,3311,1727,19826,514,82,7223,9588],"class_list":["post-900308","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-american-football","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-denver-broncos","tag-football-game","tag-kansas-city","tag-kansas-city-chiefs","tag-national-football-league","tag-nfl","tag-sports","tag-taylor-swift","tag-tom-cruise"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/900308","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=900308"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/900308\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/900309"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=900308"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=900308"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=900308"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
