Apparently, it’s quite common for former basketball star Shaquille O’Neal to come across lost wallets on a daily basis. However, one day he came across a wallet that belonged to a soccer legend, David Beckham.
During an interview with Beckham’s wife, Victoria Caroline Beckham, O’Neal recalled the time he tried to play a prank on Beckham when he realized that the wallet actually belonged to the legendary football player, who has also appeared in a trailer and fun cameo for Deadpool 2. Very Quickly, Beckham figured out that it was a prank and O’Neal ultimately returned it.
Shaquille O’Neal found David Beckham’s wallet
In 2018, Shaquille O’Neal and Victoria Caroline Beckham appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden and O’Neal recalled the time he found Victoria Beckham’s husband, David Beckham‘s wallet in Beverly Hills. He said,
“I was walking one day in Beverly Hills and I found a wallet. Usually, when I find wallets, I just take out all the money out and just throw them but this was a nice wallet, so I look and it said David Beckham, I was like, ‘Can’t be!’ And I looked at the ID and it was David Beckham.”
Both the stars are legends in their fields. O’Neal retired from professional basketball in 2011 while Beckham retired from soccer in 2013.
Shaquille O’Neal tried to prank David Beckham
Any normal person would freak out if they ever come across David Beckham’s wallet, however, Shaquille O’Neal is different as he tried to prank the soccer legend,
“So, I didn’t want to just give it to the front desk, so I tracked him down. I was like, David. Well, no, first I played a joke on him, ‘I have your wallet. It’s going to cost you a million dollars getting it back,’ but he knew it was me. [Beckham said] ‘Shaq, stop playing.’ I was like, ‘Dave, I found your wallet,’ and he came and picked it up.”
Victoria Beckham then revealed that she got her husband a wallet with a chain so he could avoid losing it in the future.
David Beckham has starred in Deadpool 2‘s promo
Not just sports, but the two legends have also influenced Hollywood with their cheeky cameos. Throughout his career, O’Neal has appeared in many iconic movies and TV shows like The Simpsons, Scary Movie 4, and Grown Ups 2.
On the other hand, Beckham has made only a few movie appearances, however, his advert for Deadpool 2 went viral. In the 2018 promo for Deadpool 2, Beckham can be seen watching Deadpool (2016) in which Ryan Reynolds’ character compares the soccer player’s voice to inhaling helium.
Beckham is quite disappointed and then receives an apology text from Deadpool. Beckham answers his door to the antihero who tries to apologize with milk and cookies. Deadpool then knocks again and has a bunch of helium-filled red balloons.
