Former footballer David Beckham and fashion designer wife Victoria were seen enjoying a cuddle with locals after they apparently napped into the pub to ‘use the toilet’. However, it didn’t take people long to realise the truth
David and Victoria Beckham are two of the biggest stars around, so not many people expect to see them mingling with others down their local pub. However, that’s exactly what the pair were seen doing at The Royal Oak pub, based in Staffordshire – kind of.
The former footballer and fashion designer were seen enjoying a cuddle with locals after they apparently nipped into the pub to ‘use the toilet’. However, it didn’t take people long to realise that the photos were a mock-up of the stars, using AI.
The first snap saw David, 50, with his arm around a pub-goer as they sat in front of some drinks. While Victoria, 51, was seen giving another punter a cuddle.
The post was captioned: “You never know what will happen or who will be in The Royal Oak…
Tonight with the weather it’s been a little quieter but then in comes Posh & Becks to use the toilet and were happy to be in a photo… some happy fans.”
The post racked up more than 1,800 likes as people were quick to get the joke.
One person quipped: “I hope they bought a drink first.”
While another added: “When you order Posh & Becks off Wish.”
A third wrote: “Brilliant I love this. I love all the FB detectives excitedly declaring the pics are not genuine as if the Royal Oak wasn’t just posting it for a joke in the first place.”
While a fourth said: “People don’t see the ‘AI info’ under the pub name.”
The couple, who married back in 1999, have a Grade II-listed townhouse in Holland Park, London, as their main UK residence, although they also own a country estate in the Cotswolds.
They also spend significant time in the US as well, owning a penthouse in Miami, Florida, where David is involved with the Inter Miami CF soccer team.
The post comes as Spice Girls star Victoria’s Netflix documentary launches today (October 9).
The three-part series will document how Victoria achieved global stardom, as well as give glimpses into her celebrity marriage, and follow the preparations for her “most ambitious runway show yet” at Paris Fashion Week.
