Victoria Beckham with short hairVictoria Beckham claims Tom Cruise isn’t as strange as everyone thinks he is.

She told the Mirror: “People say he’s strange or whatever but he’s not, he’s just a genuinely lovely caring person.”

“And [Katie Holmes]? I have to say she’s one of the most down-to-earth celebrities I’ve ever met and they really are great. I couldn’t imagine a better person for Tom and it’s brilliant that she’s made him so happy.”

Victoria and husband David Beckham were rumoured to be amongst the first celebrities to meet Tom and Katie’s new daughter Suri but Victoria has revealed the meeting hasn’t happened yet: “I haven’t seen Suri in the flesh yet, just [seen her] in pictures and she looks so beautiful, the spitting image of her dad. Tom calls me all the time and he’s so in love with that little girl, he’ll phone just to talk about her.”
