There is not many things that are worse for drivers than getting stuck in a traffic jam. However, one man got a pleasant surprise when he got to meet a famous star while waiting to continue on with his journey.
Tosin Sokoya, known on social media as @tosin_sokoya took to his platforms to share a video that showed him being driven around by a friend. However, the YouTuber got more than he bargained for when he looked out the window as he saw none other than David Beckham. Tosin and his friends couldn’t contain their excitement when they spotted the former football parked next to them while driving through London.
The YouTuber started filming out of the car’s open window, with David clearly hearing the commotion that he had caused as he is seen looking over and smiling from behind the wheel.
Tosin and his two pals repeatedly exclaim: “No!” at the shock celebrity sighting, as one of them shouts: "No, bro, no way — seriously though?!" Tosin then tries to get David to rev his engine, however Beckham politely declines, joking that he is "too old to rev anything".
The exchange only lasts about 30 seconds, however the men have still been left excited, with Tosin asking, "Crazy, what the hell just happened?!" when the traffic lights change and they and each go their separate ways.
Captioning the post, Tosin simply wrote, "Big 7!", referring to Beckham's number 7 shirt he used to wear for Manchester United and England.
The post quickly went viral, racking up more than 64,000 likes. One person wrote: "This is brilliant," while another quipped: "Not the rev request."
A third chimed in: "He’s a Londoner, true gentleman and can walk around unbothered in public... decent family man too."
While a fourth added: "He’s such good vibes! Love his response to seeing you. So humble."
The post circulated online just before Beckham was knighted by King Charles during a a ceremony at Windsor Castle earlier this month.
The 50-year-old, who was born in London, called the honour "my proudest moment" as he was accompanied at the ceremony by his wife - now known as Lady Beckham - and his parents, Ted and Sandra. Beckham was given the honour for his services to sport and charity.
He said at the time: "Today has been such an emotional day — more emotion than nerves, in all honesty. There have been a few tears and a lot of emotion. "It’s been a very special day."
