Becks pulled out all the stops for the first episode of his show, inviting famed film director Guy Ritchie and Hollywood actor Stanley Tucci to join him and Kate Abdo at the studio for the Inter Milan vs Barcelona Champions League semi-final.
As if the setup wasn’t engaging enough, Micah Richards dropped in from the CBS Sports studio to elevate the excitement for viewers.
The retired Manchester City and England defender greeted Beckham, Guy Ritchie, and Stanley Tucci, kicked off a brief chat, and humorously presented Beckham with a jar of homemade honey as a late birthday present.
Richards even cheekily sat on the football star’s lap during this unforgettable appearance.
Fans were shocked by the unexpected crossover, flooding social media with their reactions.
One viewer marveled: “THIS DAVID BECKHAM AND FRIENDS LIVE IS INCREDIBLE.”
“Who put Stanley Tucci in a room with Micah Richards and Jamie Carragher to watch the football??”
Another wrote: “Stanley Tucci is AMAZED by the presence of Micah Richards and I’m in tears.”

It wasn’t just the comedic exchanges among football stars and Hollywood icons that drew everyone’s attention, but also the thrilling footy action.
Becks and his guests were treated to a nail-biting Champions League semi-final where Inter Milan pulled off an incredible 4-3 victory over Barcelona in extra time to secure their place in the final.
Inter initially squandered a two-goal advantage, finding themselves down 3-2, until veteran Francesco Acerbi struck in the third minute of stoppage time to force the game into extra time.
Substitute Davide Frattesi then completed the remarkable comeback with a goal in the 99th minute, igniting wild celebrations at the San Siro as Inter clinched a 7-6 aggregate win.
The Italians are set to face either Paris Saint-Germain or Arsenal at the Allianz Arena in Munich later this month.
