David Beckham seeks advice from Tom Cruise

Footballer David Beckham's relationship seems to be getting stronger with actor friend Tom Cruise as he often seeks advice from him.

"For someone who has been in the public eye for so long, David is still not the most confident when it comes to speaking out. He's very shy," femalefirst.co.uk quoted a source as saying.

"He has spoken to Tom among others about how to motivate people. Tom is a confident guy and always gives him great advice. David wants to be able to do the same, whatever the circumstances are," the source added.

This is not the first time David has sought advice from the actor. Last year, Tom and his actress wife Katie Holmes advised the Beckhams - David and his wife Victoria - on how to maintain a healthy balance between work and married life.
