International movie star Tom Cruise paid a visit to the famed Marananã Stadium and met Brazil legend Zico whilst taking a break from acting.
The Mission Impossible star posed for photos at the stadium’s newly installed pitch holding a Brazil jersey with his name on the back.
The actor told Globo TV that it “would be an honour” to make it to the 2014 World Cup final at the Maracanã.
He also received an autographed ball from Zico, and said he would message friend David Beckham about his meeting with the former Brazilian playmaker, claiming the British star would be “jealous.”
The Maracanã, which also hosted the 1950 World Cup final, is being renovated ahead of next June’s Confederations Cup, the warm-up tournament a year before football’s showcase event.
