David Beckham Sought Tom Cruise's Counsel on LA Move

David Beckham admits that he sought the advice of Tom Cruise before deciding to move from Spain's Real Madrid to Los Angeles Galaxy worth $1 million a week over five years.

"I was on the phone to him (Cruise) for about an hour last night and an hour the night before," Beckham said at a press conference on Friday.

"Obviously I asked him for his advice because he is a very wise man and a very good friend of mine. It's going to be a big help for us to have friends when we arrive in LA."

"I am coming not to be the superstar but to be part of the team, work hard and hopefully win things," said Beckham.

"It is about the football. I am coming to make a difference. I would like to take (the sport) to another level."
