A lip reading expert has deciphered an animated conversation between David Beckham and Timothée Chalamet as the pair watched a football match together. The exchange occurred during the Spain vs France semi-final on July 14, where both celebrities were seated in the stands.
The Beckham Family in the Spotlight
The Beckham family has been drawing attention recently after Victoria was spotted looking less than impressed at England's last match against Norway. While David enthusiastically belted out the national anthem, Victoria watched the game throughout the night with a slight pout – as is her custom. However, some fans noted that it must be serious for Posh to even attend, as she rarely appears at fixtures.
Decoding the Conversation
Speaking to Betfair Casino, lip reading expert Nicola Hickling decoded the pair's exchange, which later turned to a sporting comparison involving Chalamet's favourite basketball team, the New York Knicks, with Beckham firmly dismissing the suggestion. The conversation reportedly unfolded as follows:
- David Beckham: Penalty changes a lot
- Timothée Chalamet: It's a lot
- DB: They need to score one goal, (repeats) one goal, just to pick it up.
- DB: Spain are likely to win now
- TC: France need to get stuck in
- DB: yeah
- DB: You can't compare them to the Knicks
- Shakes his head and Timothée responds (inaudible)
- DB: It all matters, they are not better
- Beckham Shakes his head
- DB: No
Beckham's Prediction and Chalamet's Input
The former England captain and Hollywood actor were seen discussing the action on the pitch, with Beckham predicting Spain were likely to win while encouraging Chalamet that only 'one goal' was needed to change the momentum. Chalamet, who is also half French, insisted France 'need to get stuck in'.
Family Presence
The pair were also joined by the Beckham kids. Harper, who celebrated her 15th birthday in recent weeks, was in the stands with her brother Cruz and his girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, in Texas. Cruz, the Beckhams' third son, was born in Madrid in 2005 when Sir David was playing for the Galacticos. The family temporarily relocated to Spain during Beckham's four-year stint at the Bernabeu from 2003 to 2007. Born in the Spanish capital, Cruz holds Spanish citizenship in addition to his British passport. His name is the Spanish word for 'cross'.
