Football legend Sir David Beckham has added his name to Hollywood’s Walk of Fame in front of his family and fellow A-listers.<\/p>\n
His wife and former Spice Girls singer Victoria Beckham and actor Tom Cruise were guest speakers at the event, honouring Beckham with speeches about his accomplishments in the footballing world.<\/p>\n
Cruise praised Beckham, saying he “inspired generations around the world to watch and play the game.” <\/p>\n
Walk of Fame producer Ana Martinez said Beckham’s acknowledgement came at a “fitting” moment as the FIFA World Cup kicks off in the US.<\/p>\n
“Beckham\u2019s role in elevating soccer\u2019s profile in America and his lasting influence on sports, entertainment, and global culture make this honor especially meaningful.\u201d<\/p>\n
The former footballer is now co-owner of US Major league Soccer team Inter Miami, who signed Argentinian great Lionel Messi in 2023 and won the league in 2025.<\/p>\n
In his speech he reflected on his career, talking about how far he’s come from his roots.<\/p>\n
“I’ve always been a dreamer. But I could never have imagined that an honour like this would come to a working-class English soccer player like me.”<\/p>\n
He then gave a shout out to his children in attendance: Romeo, 23, Cruz, 21, and Harper, 14, stating that they are “the reason I get out of bed in the morning.”<\/p>\n
The eldest Beckham child<\/a> was noticeably missing though; Brooklyn Beckham<\/a> did not attend the ceremony despite living in LA. <\/p>\n When asked by reporters about their alleged ongoing family feud<\/a>, the 51-year-old diverted conversation to his future goals, according to 9News. <\/p>\n “To be honest, I’m sorry to stop you there, but that’s a private matter. That\u2019s the one thing that I don\u2019t want to talk about,” he said. <\/p>\n
