David Beckham was recently on the receiving end of an elaborate prank.
His friend and CBS Late Late Show host James Corden swapped out a statue intended to honour Beckham's career with Major League Soccer outfit LA Galaxy for a less flattering model at Dignity Health Sports Park in California:
Corden's faux statue came equipped with a particularly pronounced chin and was missing more than a few teeth. It added up to a rendering sure to make the football and fashion icon blanch.
There was more in store for Beckham, though, as Corden had an actor pose as a dignitary attending the fake ceremony.
