Matt Damon talks David Beckham, challenges with Water.org charity
Matt Damon talks to USA TODAY’s Ralphie Aversa about challenges with his Water.org charity, which has provided clean water to 70 million people.
David Beckham is recovering after a surprising health scare.
The former professional soccer player was photographed by wife Victoria Beckham with his right arm in a blue sling while lying in a hospital bed on the Spice Girls alum’s Instagram story on Friday, June 27.
The “Beckham” star was seemingly recovering from an injury in the snap. The British fashion designer captioned the photos, “Get well soon daddy” with a heart emoji. A fashion icon in his own right, the UNICEF global ambassador was pictured in a hospital gown as he sported a soft smile in his wife’s picture.
Beckham also shared another photo of her husband wearing a beaded friendship bracelet that spelled out “Get well soon.”
USA TODAY has reached out to the Beckhams’ reps for comment.
Earlier this month, the official British public record The Gazette announced the Inter Miami CF coowner would be knighted by King Charles III. Beckham, arguably the most famous athlete in England’s history, finally earned his country’s highest honor after years of near misses despite his legendary soccer career and extensive charity work with UNICEF.
“I’ve heard people in the media talk about it’s something that I really, really want, and of course, it would be an unbelievable honor,” Beckham said in a recent interview with Time magazine. “If it happens at some point, amazing. If it doesn’t, there’s nothing I can do about it.”
In a heartfelt Instagram post June 14, Posh Spice praised her husband for his knighthood, one of the highest British honors to notable citizens.
“You’ve always been my knight in shining armour, but now it’s official. Sir @davidbeckham!!! What an honour, I couldn’t be prouder of you,” she wrote. “Your dedication to the things that matter most — your country, your work, your passion, and most of all, your family — has never wavered.”
She concluded the caption, “The way you’ve touched so many lives over the years with kindness and humility speaks volumes about the man you are and continues to inspire us everyday. But above all else, I’m so, so proud to call you mine. I love you so much xxxx.”
