The closeness of Beckham and Shaq is unaware to most people. But they had a hilarious incident a few years back.

The famous wallet story

Once, Shaq strolled through the lavish streets of Beverly Hills and found Beckham’s wallet lying on the ground. He recalled how he took money from wallets if he saw them lying on the ground. When he checked the ID, Shaq couldn’t believe it was Becks.

He decided to play a prank on the English soccer superstar. Letting him know his wallet was under his custody and expecting him to pay 1 million dollars, Beck knew Shaq had played a prank. 

But David knew Shaq instantly and later picked it up. As most of us lose wallets, Beckham’s wife Victoria gifted him chains to stop him from losing them. It never worked! The bond the two sports celebrities share is beautiful, and we wish Big Diesel a happy 51st birthday!
