We are still trying to deal with the fact that Justin Bieber has actually challenged Tom Cruise to a fight. Tom Cruise is known for his deadly stunts in the Mission: Impossible series, so when Bieber posted the challenge on Twitter, we were taken aback. “ I wanna challenge Tom Cruise to fight in the octagon. Tom if you dont take this fight your scared and you will never live it down. Who is willing to put on the fight?”, Justin wrote.
However, the end result was even weirder. A day after the popstar threw open the challenge, he posted a film clip of the fight scene from Tom Cruise's 1992 film Far And Away, with him photoshopped as Cruise’s opponent. Elon Musk, Matt Damon and UFC president Dana White’s faces were also photoshopped as the onlookers. Needless to say, Bieber suffers a bloody defeat.
Bieber might have lost the challenge, but Twitter had a ball that day. Stephen Colbert wrote, “ Hey, Justin Bieber and Tom Cruise, if you guys fight, can I hold your coats? And then keep your coats? I bet you have really nice coats.”
