Earlier this month, Beckham surprised the Latin pop singer as he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
“So proud of my brother another incredible achievement and so well deserved,” Beckham wrote in a post on Instagram. “Honoured to be there for you 🩷 Love you man @marcanthony ⭐️.”
His arrival at the dedication ceremony was a shock to Anthony, who teared up as Beckham made a touching speech in honor of his friend.
“So I first met Marc 20 years ago when I was playing for Real Madrid. Probably not a very cool thing to say, but I was very starstruck when I met Marc because on the way to every Real Madrid game I used to listen to his music. I now dress a little bit like him. I learned salsa for one man only — but please don’t tell my wife,” Beckham said in the speech, per Access Hollywood.
He continued, “But when we met, we immediately had a special connection. I knew that I had a friend for life. Over the years our friendship has grown, and Marc is family – godfather to my son, Cruz, and someone I love to spend time with.”
