Yah, I cried.
Me too. It was the kid. And Beckham hugging him.
Yes. The boy crying and the mum crying saying “David Beckham, hey?”. That’s the measure of a true superstar…Becks somehow makes people feel emotion.
Gave me tingles. Then I got tingles again reading your comments!
yeea, I just saw it, I cried too.
Aw, I love DB for being so down to earth and having a good time with the people in the photo area. The little kid made me cry, just like everyone else. Football is SO big there and DB is a star. Such a sweet moment when he hugged the boy.
The moment with the little boy was really sweet, but I must be a robot today, I didn’t cry at all. And I can usually cry at just about anything. I can’t even watch that Microsoft commercial where the dad takes all the photos and video of his daughter to show her when she’s older.
Well, at first I was just smiling (I love a celebrity surprise!) but darn if that little kid crying didn’t get me started! I’d like to think that David Beckham is as nice as he seems.
agreed, I think I’d be a little heartbroken if he turned out to be a real d-bag..
I do not get the douchbag guy thing from him. Even with the indiscretion parts in his life with hookers, I think he is a nice guy and he is to a great extent a family man.
I get this, too. Love the family-oriented/kid-centric guy…
I read about this yesterday and some brits were criticizing him and saying he only did it because he was paid by Adidas and so on… It doesn’t matter… The look on that little boy’s face is priceless. He made my ice heart melt.
On the other hand, I don’t think Becks liked it when the dude kissed him that much. He looked uncomfortable.
I actually thought he was being a really good sport about that. Didn’t seem to mind that much IMHO That was reason #407 for loving him more!
Wonderful video. The mother with her son were just so moved, I cried.
I’ve watched it 3 times. It’s just so sweet. And omg, he is beyond handsome. When he cradled that boys face in his arms, my heart melted.
Right!? It was one of those things where you saw that and realized that he’s actually probably a really awesome dad because he looked so natural comforting a child like that.
Yup! I cried…that lil’ boy brought it out. Whether he got paid or not, it was still very sweet and moving.
How is it sweet and moving is its fack a d the kid got paid to do it.
The suggestion was that Beckham got paid, not the kid. You can see that the kid’s reaction is genuine.
Beckham has a sponsorship deal, so technically, even if he didn’t get any extra money from that deal, he’s still fulfilling his contractual obligations and therefore being paid for this. That doesn’t mean he demanded extra money to turn up. He’s been famous in the UK for a long time. There are lots of stories about him being really friendly and accommodating with his fans, and zero stories of him being an arsehole. Trust me, the way the British press are, if there were any examples of him being a douche to people, they would have come out. So my inclination is to believe that he genuinely enjoyed being there and surprising those people. You of course can believe anything you like.
I was stating that I did not care whether Beckham was paid or not. As @Zvonk states, he already has a deal with Adidas and was not paid “Extra” to do this. Step outside of your walls for a bit.
Kaiser I agree, Bozo was performing for the camera’s acting all tired. POS, he knew exactly what he was doing, he planned this for months!
And I don’t get the appeal of Emma Watson, I think her jaw is kind of manly.
sooo yum.
I adore Becks. Class act. Legend.
wasnt everyone in hollywood already rumored to be in 50 shades of grey?
looking at emma watsons imdb: she seems to have a sofia coppola movie done recently and does Noah with Afronofsky and Russel Crowe. i doubt it.
Just because it was contractual to appear in the commercial shouldn’t discount the joy he brought those people; and I think he enjoyed it just as much!
Chad Michael Murray looks rough.
Oh man, if it’s enough to make Kaiser cry, I should have known better than to think it wouldn’t make me cry. He was so nice to everyone; even let the girls AND guys kiss him. That little boy crying set me off though. What a great commercial! Tons of feel good going on right now! =)
Blimin heck, I thought I would be able to handle Beckham taking photos with his fans but nope, I still got the cries.
Had to de-lurk…. how’s about a NSFW warning for some of us who don’t want to be all sniffling at our desks (j/k)
Tooooo lovely..
God it would be 50 shades of wrong if Emma Watson was cast. She looks so young still
I’m just glad it’s not Miley. For no reason other than I don’t want to hear about Miley.
Surely, SURELY Emma Watson would not stoop to 50 Shades, right? Please? I hope?!
Yay now I’m tearing up at work about that kid and his mom. 😉
Yep – I was able to hold it in until the little he surprised the little boy and his mom. Love it!
That was so awesome. Yay to adidas and whoever came up with that one. For that kid – BEST DAY EVER.
I don’t even know why I’m crying, but I am. That was sweet.
I had a major crush on Chad when I was 12. I am sick of the media referring to that pos as the Joker. This is clearly what he wanted. He’s enjoying this attention.
He posted the photos from this on Facebook over the weekend. They were so cute and those kids, let me tell ya, put a smile on my face.
I have always gotten the vibe that Beckham is a fabulous dad; pictures of he and his kids are just so very normal and he doesn’t hold back showing affection for them. It’s sweet as hell. Actually, as much as Victoria is supposedly the ice queen she strikes me the same way…very in tune with her kids. I thinks it’s awesome.
Paid not paid, whatever..he inspired those people to that emotion and he took time to be there. Cute, cute, cute. Also loved that the both the girls and guys could snuggle up and even kiss him. Loved it.
You got to love David Beckham.
@Kaiser – you post about Mario Lopez because we all hate him, right?
Zen! – He’s the anti-Beckham. Always nice to provide a little contrast and compare. 😉
Totally cried, I’m at work too which made it a bit awkward… ha!
Ditto on David Beckham. Way better than meeting any of the royals! You can tell how much he loves his fans.
David Beckham lights up a few lives in this video, and now Christian Bale has visited some of the shooting victims in Aurora, CO hospital. Chalk one up for humanity! Makes me very happy, anyway!
Hey CB and Kaiser, you’ve got to check out the news that Kristen Stewart cheated on Robert Pattinson! She allegedly was photographed during a marathon makeout session with the Huntsman director, but now she feels all sad about it. Here’s the link to the story I read: http://omg.yahoo.com/news/kristen-stewart-cheated-on-robert-pattinson-with-married-%E2%80%98snow-white%E2%80%99-director–reports.html
Oooo, I just saw that! People is reporting it, it must be a legit story for them to stick their neck out and quit being a PR machine for a moment or two.
The article is saying it wasn’t an affair but a “fleeting moment” and a mistake. I’m not sure I’m buying that, considering their movie wrapped filming months and months ago, and just now they got caught? Something had to have been going on all along, wouldn’t you think?
Sad part is he is married with two young kids. Awful.
Is that the only photo though? It looks bad, but at the same time it’s not like they are making out or his hand is on her ass. I will give it to Ted Casablanca though. He has always insisted those two were in an open relationship. If you are in an open relationship though, don’t f–k with a married man.
What’s curious to me is that she and Pattinson were holding hands, etc and looking happy two days ago at the Teen Choice Awards. Those photos don’t come out of the blue, they get shopped around for the highest price and such. So I think he must have known and a) either forgiven her or b) it truly is a fauxmance or c) open relationship or d) it’s not what it look likes. Who knows?
Whole thing is very weird. Apparently now the wife is claiming that the photos are photo shopped…that they put KStew’s face on her body. Considering KStew has had long hair for a while now, and black hair when filming Snow White, and the photo shows someone with shorter hair…It could very well be possible. Who knows? I just have a hard time believing that both KStew and the dude would be stupid enough to cheat out in the open and be outdoors if it is true. Well, I like KStew but maybe she would be that dumb. But the director? Would he really be stupid enough to make out with his star who is young enough to be his daughter out in public? This whole thing seems very twisted.
And now US WEEKLY took the story down. I clicked on the link and it says the story has been removed. This has just been getting stranger and stranger. I really, really want to know what happened. Is it photo shopped like the wife supposedly claims? Why else would they take the story down? Why one earth would Kristen Stewart make out with a dude in public? Unless they consider that one photo “making out,” when it looks more like he’s giving her a hug and kiss.
hey A, the story is back up and it looks like she really is that dumb..
I don’t follow Twilight, but the reaction to this online is hilarious and entertaining. There is a reason they call People “Kneepads”, they don’t publish unsubstantiated rumors and they kiss publicist ass. Also US Weekly apparently has a photo spread, the link is down because too many views crashed it. By all means though, let the denial continue!
You got to give it to the British, their accent is fabulous. And props to Beckham, it’s how true legends act.
