Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson generated a lot of buzz on Halloween with his David Beckham costume. The former WWE icon, now a Hollywood actor, celebrated the spooky holiday by paying homage to the Manchester United legend in a bold fashion.
He wore a Red Devils jersey with Beckham’s name and iconic number seven on the back, completing his transformation into the English football legend with a blonde wig to emulate Beckham’s signature locks during his football career.
The star of Jumanji shared photos of himself in this outfit on Instagram, and it quickly gained almost two million likes. In his post, he captioned it as follows: “265lb BLA-MOAN BECKHAM #7 on the field #1 in your heart. Happy Halloween, my friends. BlaMoan = Black + Samoan. #BendItLikeABlaMoan #TaurusEnergy #May2ndBabies”
The post swiftly went viral, and even the real David Beckham joined the conversation. He playfully commented, “I mean I thought I was looking in the mirror. Looking good man you might need a bigger jersey” Beckham was so impressed that he shared Johnson’s costume on his own Instagram, saying, “And the winner is The Rock. Looking good man, I know what I am going as next year.”
Despite the praise the 51-year-old received, some social media users questioned the accuracy of Johnson’s costume, noting that it was a modern United kit that Beckham never actually wore. One user asked, What is that dodge United shirt” because the Adidas logo was absent from the United kit. Another user was more straightforward in their critique, commenting, “If I’m being honest that’s wack. “It’s just a modern kit with Beckham on it. He could have gone retro at least.” A third fan criticized the wig Johnson wore, saying, “Fake united jersey with real Madrid Beckham hair”.
However, Johnson didn’t stop at just the costume; he also tried to showcase his football skills by sharing a video of himself controlling a ball, looking quite pleased with his performance.
Meanwhile, David Beckham had a busy few days, recently presenting Lionel Messi with his eighth Ballon d’Or award. This was a shining moment for Beckham and Inter Miami, as they currently have the official best player in the world on their team.
Messi was the favourite to win the award after leading Argentina to their first World Cup victory since 1986. Beckham mentioned that Miami would celebrate this historic moment with a party, expressing his pride in having Messi as part of the Miami team.
