Ed Westick Starstruck By David Beckham

Ed Westwick was left tongue-tied when he ran into David Beckham in a bathroom.

The British actor – who stars in The CW teenage drama Gossip Girl – says he met the LA Galaxy soccer star at a party in New York, one “that was so grand David Bowie was sitting at the next table and shook hands with George Clooney.

“Then I went to the toilet and there was David Beckham. I couldn’t say anything, I just ran out. A friend tried to persuade me to say, ‘Hello,’ but I couldn’t do it. It was ridiculous.

“But I had a Beckham shirt when I was a kid and he was the one I watched growing up.”
