Discuss in forum Football star David Beckham celebrated his 30th birthday, inviting around 100 friends and family members to the glamorous party at Madrid’s trendy Buddha Bar on Monday. The British hunk all in black looked liked a flamenco star wearing a dinner suit cummerbund with an open neck shirt and casual trousers. Wife Victoria, who reportedly presented her husband a £15,000 watch, also kept the Spanish style with her lacy and ruched outfit.
The guests, which included Liz Hurley with boyfriend Arun Nayar, Elle MacPherson, Geri Halliwell, and David’s Real Madrid teammates Ronaldo, Luis Figo and Michael Owen, enjoyed a posh dinner and performances by a flamenco dancing troupe.
Beckham’s friends from Manchester United could not attend due Premiership match against Chelsea.
Britain’s favourite footballer is to star in the documentary-drama Real: The Movie, which follows the lives of five fictional Real fans in New York, Caracas, Japan, Madrid and a village in Senegal and features World Cup winners Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldo as well as Spanish superstar Raul. However, Beckham will be the leading stra of the film, made by Real’s own TV company, as the poster, depicting the 30-year-old midfielder, was unveiled at the Cannes Film Festival.
“The film captures a team with one of the most spectacular line-ups in the world, ” a spokesman for the film was quoted by ITV.com.
“Real Madrid is one of the biggest brands in the world, not just in the arena of sports. We expect the film will be a big draw, especially in ‘football countries’ in Latin America, Europe, Asia and, increasingly, the US.”
