Usher: 'David Beckham is the epitome of cool'

R & B singer Usher says David Beckham "is the epitome of cool" and that he's "one of the coolest white boys" he knows.

The 'Yeah!' hitmaker, who is good friends with David and his wife Victoria, says the superstar couple are popular among Hollywood's elite because they are so genuine.

He says, "It's because they're real people. Every time I see David, he's so chilled. He's the epitome of cool.

"We talk more on text than anything, but I ran into David in Beverly Hills the other day while he was with his sons. I understand that Brooklyn is a great break-dancer and I look forward to doing something like that with my own son."

However, Usher, full name Usher Raymond IV, says he has no plans to invite the LA Galaxy soccer star to sing on one of his albums.

He adds, "He's one of the coolest white boys I know, but David really doesn't sing."
