Posted by Juan

Tom Cruise would be proud

In this new ad for the video game “Guitar Hero World Tour Edition” Kobe Bryant, baseball’s A-Rod, 2008 8-time Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps and skateboard legend, Tony Hawk enacted their best Tom Cruise-in-”Risky Business” impersonation.

Bryant sings the lead, A-Rod and Phelps are on guitar, and Hawk skateboards onto the scene with a drum set to perform Bob Seger’s “Old Time Rock and Roll.”
