Didn’t think it was that sunny in Manchester!!
There was some very special guests at the Manchester Derby today, 9th December, as Hollywood actors, Tom Cruise and Robert Duvall were lucky enough to grab seats at one of the biggest game’s in the Premier League calendar. The pair are currently in England filming their new film, ‘All You Need is Kill‘, in Hertfordshire.
The pair were speaking to Sky Sports reporter, Geoff Shreeves, before the game;
‘This is the first game that I’ve seen in England,’ Cruise on Sky Sports One.
‘I’ve been following it since the eighties so I’m just excited that I’m able to be here.’
He revealed the former England captain, David Beckham, had sent him a message ahead of the game.
‘He wishes he was here. I got an email from him, he’s jealous that I’m here,’ Cruise added.
Apocalypse Now actor Robert Duvall was also at the game, but appeared to be a little rusty on the rules.
He said: ‘Will there be a shootout today? No. If it’s a tie? No.’
As for a prediction for the match, Duvall said it was too close to call – ‘You could flip a coin,’ he said.
Even though, I am actually writing this post during the match, I’m sure both actors are enjoying it as it’s a brilliant game so far, despite United being 2-0 up! I still see plenty of fireworks and goals in this one!!
