Many retired players do cool things to spend the time they are not occuping with soccer anymore. And David Beckham became a successful businessman that is taking control of his own team, Inter Miami FC, in MLS. But the curious thing is what he actually does during his free time.

The former England international invites over two famous Hollywood actors, Tom Cruise and Will Smith, and they practice a sport they enjoy a lot but have not many chances of doing otherwise, because they are always travelling around the world and working for different causes aside the jobs they are known for.

But when they can, they meet, put on the mask, take the sabre, and do fencing. It is considered a very elegant sport that needs lots of agility and concentration, and that makes it very demanding physically and mentally. They meet at Tom Cruise's, as Will Smith commented he has a gym at home for fencing.

After a long, successful and worldwide recognized career in soccer with Manchester United, Real Madrid, Los Angeles Galaxy, AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain, Beckham is still enjoying of it as part of the board of his club, but he also likes to unwind practicing another one with the stars.
