David Beckham shared that he checked on Tom Brady after his epic roast just to see if he was okay on Wednesday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC.
Jimmy, 56, first asked David, 49, if he would ever allow himself to be brutally roasted like Tom, 46, did during a Netflix comedy special on Sunday.
“No,” David said. “I know Tom well and I must admit that I texted him just to check that he was okay.”
‘He’s fine?’ Jimmy asked.
“More than okay, but yeah, it was hard to watch,” David said.
David Beckham shared that he checked on Tom Brady after his epic roast just to see if he was okay on Wednesday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC.
The English football legend appeared holding a jar of his own honey which he gave to Jimmy.
‘You own the Miami soccer club, how many owners?’ Jimmy asked later.
“There are three of us,” David said. ‘Me and my two brothers, Jorge and José Mas.’
Jimmy asked if the team was more successful than he thought.
“I always expected him to be that successful and obviously bringing in someone like Leo helps. “Obviously that was always the plan, but you never know,” David said, referring to Lionel Messi.
—Are you aware of how popular it is? asked Jimmy, who shared that even his seven-year-old son Billy was crazy about Messi.
“It’s just the effect Leo has on the game and the world,” David said. ‘One of the reasons we wanted to bring it to America was to inspire the next generation. That was my plan. Obviously I wanted to bring him in because of the player that he is and the person that he is. I played against him on numerous occasions, actually twice, fortunately, but I’ve been a fan and watched him for many years, and I always had the plan to bring the best player to ever play the game, in my opinion, to our team and fortunately it happened.

Jimmy asked him if he thought Lionel Messi was the best player.
“Everyone has their own opinions, but for me personally… there are a lot of great players who have played this game over the years, but in my opinion he is the perfect player,” David said.
Jimmy asked how he convinced Messi to come to Miami.
“Well, I could actually attack it and go with it with my experience of coming to the United States and my experience of coming to a league that at the time wasn’t established like it is now,” David said. ‘There were only 13 teams in the league. Now there are almost 30. And it’s in a different position than when I first came.’
David added that he has “always loved Miami.” He always loved the idea of the project to make the game even bigger in this country. And when you bring someone like that to the United States, people take notice.
Jimmy agreed that Americans took notice when David showed up.
Jimmy asked David about hosting his wife Victoria’s 50th birthday party. Jimmy then played a clip of Victoria singing with the other Spice Girls at the party while David filmed.
“How long had it been since you sang together?” Jimmy asked.
“Everyone has their own opinions, but for me personally… there are many great players who have played this sport over the years, but in my opinion, he is the perfect player,” David said of Lionel Messi.
“It’s actually been 12 years since they attended the Olympics in the UK, but 15, more than 15 years since they were on stage together,” David said. “Obviously I had them all there that night and I didn’t expect them all to come up on stage. But I had a whole video planned in which my kids and I recreated Mom’s video. Then my son, who plays the guitar and sings, had a song and he sang Mama and suddenly all the girls stood up.’
“And I’m her biggest fan, I tend not to tell my wife that, I tend to tell her that I liked her when she was a Spice Girl,” David said. “I love that about her.”
“I’m sure she loved the fact that you were on a team too,” Jimmy said. “I loved your documentary.”
“We’ve been together for 27 years in July,” David said. “We’ve been married for 25 years, so in July we’ll be 25 years married.”
David said people have wanted him to make a documentary for a long time.
“I said for the 10th anniversary of my retirement I wanted to do the documentary,” David said. “That was really the plan, but when we did it, it was amazing.”
David said he planned to watch the documentary by himself on a big screen.
“When I saw it that morning, I really didn’t like it,” David said. “I didn’t enjoy watching it.”
Jimmy then played a clip of Victoria singing with the other Spice Girls at the party while David filmed.
“It’s actually been 12 years since they attended the Olympics in the UK, but 15, more than 15 years since they were on stage together,” David said. “Obviously I had them all there that night and I didn’t expect them all to come up on stage. But I had a whole video planned where my kids and I recreated Mom’s video. Then my son who plays the guitar and sings had a song and he sang Mama and suddenly all the girls stood up.’
David said he planned for Victoria to see him at the premiere, but then he changed that and got her to see him that night with him.
“We literally sat on the bed with an iPad and watched two hours of rough editing and we got to the end and we looked at each other and we were so excited: it was like we laughed, we cried, we were tired. because I had done so much in those 27 years,” David said. ‘That was really the moment I fell in love with the documentary. Because I knew she loved it and that meant more to me.”
Jimmy said he learned that David is a neat freak from the documentary.
“Yeah, I’m a little OCD,” David said.
“More than a little like you’re looking around now wanting to clean things up,” Jimmy asked.
“A little,” David said. ‘Honestly, that’s just how I am. Victoria always jokes that when we have our friends over for dinner or drinks, I start turning off the lights and cleaning the candles.
David said he cleans the candle wicks and the outside of the glasses.
Jimmy played a clip from the Netflix documentary. David said his father recorded all of his games and saved all of his newspaper clippings and that his mother was the same.
David said that one time his mother found out what room this journalist was in at a hotel who kept writing nasty things about his gambling, so his mother found out what room he was in.
“So she put every dinner and every drink in her room,” David said.
“We literally sat on the bed with an iPad and watched two hours of rough editing and we got to the end and we looked at each other and we were so excited: it was like we laughed, we cried, we were tired. because I had done so much in those 27 years,” David said. ‘That was really the moment I fell in love with the documentary. Because I knew she loved it and that meant more to me.’
Jimmy said he learned that David is a neat freak from the documentary.
“Yeah, I’m a little OCD,” David said of cleaning.
Jimmy said he felt sorry for him in some parts while watching the documentary.
“It was difficult,” David said. “Recently we were in a pub in London and I came out and on the windscreen of my car there was a note, no name, just ‘we are very sorry for the way we treated you.’
‘Have you ever talked to Travis Kelce and said ‘hey buddy’, what do you have to look forward to?’ Jimmy asked, referencing the soccer star dating Taylor Swift.
“I think he can handle it,” David said.
