Beckham joins the stars - for dominoes
Published Thursday, Mar 1 2007, 10:02 GMT | By Dave West
Victoria Beckham has said she is overwhelmed by Hollywood's glamour - and late night games of dominoes.
The star spoke to The Daily Mirror about how she was setting finding Los Angeles as she spends more time there ahead of her family's move in the summer.
"I was at a party the other day when Tom Hanks came bounding over," she explained, describing her excitment at the showbiz climate. "He said, 'I'm so thrilled you and David are coming over. I'm going to get a season ticket to watch LA Galaxy now'.
"All the time he was talking I was just thinking, 'It's Forrest Gump! And he knows who I am!'" Beckham continued: "I don't know if I'll ever get used to that when we move here. I don't get out much, really. I'm usually with David and the boys."
The paper also reports an overheard conversation at the CAA pre-Oscars party. Penelope Cruz was apparently asking Beckham about a late-night dominoes game they had shared, along with Demi Moore, at Ashton Kutcher's house.
"They all had a really lovely dinner and afterwards Penelope whipped a dominoes set from her handbag," said a source. "They played for ages. It's all the rage in LA at the moment."
Beckham confirmed: "Penelope's such a sweetie, a real girls' girl. And Ashton and Demi are always touching and kissing like teenagers. David and I are quite tactile so it's lovely to see it with other people."
