David and Victoria BeckhamDavid and Victoria Beckham are reportedly expanding their A-list social circle even further and have struck up a friendship with George Clooney.

After befriending Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes, Kate Beckinsale & Len Wiseman and Eva Longoria Parker, the couple are said to have shared a private jet from Los Angeles to New York with George ahead of Monday’s Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute Gala.

A source told the Mirror: “George was only recently introduced to the Beckhams but they hit it off straight away.

“He totally digs Victoria’s dry, very British sense of humour and gets her jokes, which a lot of Americans don’t.

“They went out for dinner the evening before their flight but the trio really bonded on the plane, swapping gossip and doing hilarious impressions.”
