Justin Bieber has challenged Tom Cruise to a fight for some reason. Yesterday, Bieber came out of nowhere to challenge Tom Cruise to a fight in the Octagon. He also reached out to UFC president, Dana White to look into his interest in hosting their potential match.
The 25-year-old pop star stands 5ft 9in, sells 150 million records and attracts 106 million Twitter followers. Why does he randomly decide to try to provoke a 5ft 7in 56-year-old movie star into fighting him?
Smack talker extraordinaire and former UFC Champ Conor McGregor took Justin’s challenge and ran with it. He replied to the tweet saying. “If Tom Cruise is man enough to accept this challenge, McGregor Sports and Entertainment will host the bout. Does Cruise have the sprouts to fight, as he does in the movies? Stay tuned to find out!”
My favorite response was by Twitter user @David_Allen55. He quipped: “At some point tonight Tom Cruise’s agent will have to call Tom Cruise and tell him that Justin Bieber has challenged him to a fight, this is an actual conversation that will happen.”
Earlier this year, Bieber announced he would take a break from music to repair “deep-rooted issues.” In April, he shared a photo from therapy saying “it’s cool to have a healthy mind and healthy emotions.” He has since released a viral collaboration with Ed Sheeran called “I Don’t Care” and was among a number of stars to appear on “Earth”. Lil Dicky’s new song about climate change.
We’ll definitely be keeping an eye on this weird new feud.
