David Beckham celebrated his upcoming 50th birthday with star-studded guests like Lionel Messi and Tom Brady at a luxurious party in Miami.
Although Beckham’s actual birthday is on May 2, he shared photos from the event held at Cipriani Downtown Miami in Florida on Sunday.
Among them was a picture with Brady, the seven-time Super Bowl champion and NFL legend, and basketball great Shaquille O’Neal.
Brady, 47, and Shaq, 53, who stand at 6ft4 and 7ft1 respectively, both towered over 5ft11 Beckham as they stood together for the picture.
Beckham took the sizeable height difference in good spirits though, posting ‘I’m so small’ alongside the picture on his Instagram story.
All three former athletes looked dressed for the occasion in dark suits with Brady opting for a T-shirt underneath is jacket.

Beckham also made sure to invite a number of players from his Inter Miami MLS soccer franchise.
As well as Messi, the team’s star player, Beckham invited Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets.
The four players are known to be close friends away from the soccer field and their families are particularly close.
All four played together at Barcelona at the club’s peak before leaving at different stages and reuniting in Florida under Beckham’s ownership.
Beckham stood for a picture with all four players before wife Victoria joined him in posing for a separate one with Messi, Suarez and their wives.
David was laughing out loud as they posed with Messi, his wife Antonela Roccuzzo, Suarez and his wife Sofia Balbi.
Hollywood stars Justin Theroux and Fisher Stevens were also in attendance, as well as Grammy winner Marc Anthony.
It comes after Brady was spotted with a mystery woman at the party, but all was not as it initially seemed.

Tom Brady was linked to a mystery woman – who turned out to be Heather McDonough, the wife of Tie Domi
Pictures obtained by TMZ show the former soccer player entering the exclusive venue with a stylishly dressed woman in a matching dark gown.
The outlet initially suggested that the seven-time Super Bowl winner, who split from ex-wife Gisele Bundchen in 2022, had found new love in the mystery woman.
However, the rumors of a romance took a twist when the anonymous lady was eventually unmasked.
It swiftly became apparent that Brady was not on a date when it was revealed that the woman accompanying him was in fact Heather McDonough, the wife of ex-NHL Tie Domi.
The former Toronto Maple Leafs star, who has been married to real estate agent Heather since 2017, was also in attendance at the birthday bash, shutting down any speculation shrouding Brady.
Brady and the former hockey enforcer are close friends with the pair even hitting the ice together last year.
