In the December issue of UK’s Arena Magazine, David Beckham discusses life in Hollywood, as well as his close friendship with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes:

“We respect their religion. We respect everything they do and believe in. But they have never turned around to us and said, ‘You have to be a part of this’, because that’s not what they’re about. It’s never been about that. There’s been nothing shoved down our throats because friends don’t do things like that. They are amazing people who are just so positive about life and they have been great to us.”

He looks rough and hot! Until he opens his mouth. More pictures after the jump.
