Jude Bellingham debunked the notion that you shouldn’t meet your celebrity when she ran across David Beckham.
The two well-known football stars met up for a photo session for the new FC 25 video game from EA Sports. Together with Gianluigi Buffon, Aitana Bonmatรญ, and Zinedine Zidane, they are featured on the cover of the Ultimate Edition. Although many people think you should never meet your stars, Bellingham claimed that despite Beckham’s many outstanding football accomplishments, he was a pretty ordinary person.
In the third installment of his YouTube series, “Out Of The Floodlights,” Bellingham stated, “You know, it’s an honor.” Beckham is one of those people you should never meet your heroes. Even though he is well-known and has accomplished a lot, I thought when I first met him, “He’s amazing, and he seems like a really nice guy.”
“He makes me look a little less attractive, but if it’s on the cover of a video game, you can learn to cope with that.” Bellingham added that meeting and playing with some of the greatest players he had ever seen was a dream come true.
Spending time with pals around a little TV and a few battered controllers that have been tossed around the room is one of your favorite memories. You play games against or with people you never would have imagined meeting. Then I’m playing with these other guys and suddenly I’m on the cover.
“It’s truly unbelievable, and I’m incredibly thankful that I have the opportunity to do it.” He was also overheard inquiring, “What are you feeding the boys?” to Bellingham’s parents after being astounded at Jude and Jobe’s height.
After rising through Manchester United’s development system, Beckham joined the main squad in 1992. Along with Sir Alex Ferguson, he went on to win an Intercontinental Cup, two FA Cups, two Charity Shields, six Premier Leagues, and a Champions League.
Before joining LA Galaxy in 2007, he won the Supercopa de Espaรฑa and La Liga after joining Real Madrid for over ยฃ25 million in 2003. Beckham spent 2009 and 2010 on loan at AC Milan before joining Paris Saint-Germain in 2013. After one season, he put up his boots, and his efforts earned him the Ligue 1 title.
In the meantime, Bellingham has become extremely well-known on his own. In 2019, at the age of 16, the 21-year-old began playing professionally for Birmingham City. After only one season, Borussia Dortmund made an approach. The Blues removed his number 22 shirt in remembrance of him when he moved to Germany for an estimated ยฃ20 million.
The midfielder had a fantastic debut season at the Bernabeu after Real Madrid paid ยฃ89 million to get him in 2023. In a single year with Real Madrid, Bellingham won the Super Cup, the Supercopa de Espaรฑa, the Champions League, and La Liga. With 23 goals in 42 games across all categories, he accomplished this in spectacular way.
At the recent Euro 2024 tournament in Germany, he also represented Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions. He helped his team go to the final, where they were defeated by Spain, with two goals from offensive midfield.
