This all feels like slightly last days of Rome stuff. Not to say that either match-up wouldn’t be supremely well-watched, especially the Bieber-Cruise ’bout’. Bieber’s Tweet on the subject has got 110k likes and plenty of supporters on social media. The singer is known to be a boxing fan while 56-year-old Cruise was a high school wrestler and is of course known for his stunt work and athleticism.
Suffice to say, no word from either actor camps as yet.
