Which Celebrities Watched the USA's World Cup Triumph? Beckham, Cruise, and DiCaprio Shone in the Stands

The Americans entered the tournament as the last of the three host nations, following Mexico's 2-0 victory over South Africa on Thursday and Canada's 1-1 draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina a day later. As expected, several film and socialite stars were in attendance at the match in Inglewood, a suburb of LA.

The Beckhams watched the match alongside Cruise just hours after the former Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder received his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He was the first footballer in history to be honored in this way. Actress Halle Berry, known for her role in the 2002 James Bond film Die Another Day, also appeared on the big screen during the game.

Among the spectators were actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Rob Lowe, and American businesswoman and media personality Paris Hilton also drew camera attention as she took a selfie during the match. Bill Gates also enjoyed the football from a VIP box, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was also present.

US President Donald Trump had previously announced he would not attend the match against Paraguay. He was represented by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The home team kicked off the tournament with a comfortable 4-1 triumph over Paraguay in Group D.
