Taking to Instagram, David Beckham himself shared a series of side-splitting photographs capturing Johnson’s remarkable makeover. In these snapshots, Johnson could be seen sporting a long blonde wig and the renowned No. 7 jersey, famously associated with the English soccer team, a jersey that once belonged to Beckham.
In his caption, Beckham playfully declared Johnson as the “winner” of this Halloween with a pumpkin emoji for added flair. He couldn’t help but commend Johnson’s portrayal, stating, “Looking good man. I know what I’m going as next year 💪🏼 😃.”
The “Black Adam” actor, on the other hand, had earlier shared these hilarious photos on his own Instagram page. In his caption, Johnson humorously referred to himself as “265lb BLA-MOAN BECKHAM,” emphasizing the No. 7 jersey and adding, “#BendItLikeABlaMoan,” a clever fusion of “Black” and “Samoan,” nodding to his heritage. He also pointed out their shared birthday, May 2, with a touch of humor, “#TaurusEnergy #May2ndBabies.”
Johnson’s commitment to the costume extended beyond photos. He treated fans to a video of himself fully transformed into Beckham, deftly maneuvering a soccer ball, all set to the catchy tune of “It Would Take a Strong Strong Man” by Rick Astley.
This playful costume choice by Dwayne Johnson came shortly after the release of a Netflix documentary featuring David Beckham. The documentary provides an intimate look at Beckham’s illustrious soccer career, spanning from Manchester United to Real Madrid, L.A. Galaxy, and beyond, culminating in his retirement from the sport in 2013.
In this unexpected and humorous Halloween exchange between two beloved public figures, Dwayne Johnson’s spot-on portrayal of David Beckham added a delightful and lighthearted note to the holiday festivities. It’s evident that these sizzling photographs have brought joy to fans worldwide, demonstrating the power of creativity and camaraderie in the world of entertainment.
