James Corden Somehow Made David Beckham Look Ugly And He Was NOT Thrilled

I’ve watched this a million times this morning and I don’t plan on stopping any time soon.

I love James Corden. Plus, pranks are so incredibly hit or miss. Sometimes the more elaborate ones are waayyy too try-hard and don’t land. But this one? Switching out a statue of one of the most famous soccer players in the world? And it went flawlessly well?

All-timer.

Absolutely nobody can blame David Beckham for being mad. Most people hate when bad pictures of them surface (I still hate you Tommy Smokes), let alone when you have a statue that will live literally forever in your honor and it ends up looks like something from The Hills Have Eyes.

Can you imagine getting hyped that you’re an important enough person to get a statue and when it gets unveiled, it looks like this…

YIKES.

To be honest, he handled it much better than I think most people would’ve. If I was one of the hottest men on the planet and that’s what an artist honestly thought best depicted me, I’d jump off a building.

At first, his face reminded me of the avocado kid on Kimmel…

Thaaaaaaanks.

But once it set in, it QUICKLY turned into this…

And then he eventually he just straight up tells the artist (who was a comedian in disguise) it’s embarrassing and it will literally make his kids cry. SAVAGE. Imagine being that hot that you can have the confidence to tell somebody they made you ugly enough to make your kids cry. Imagine.

When a fork lift “accidentally” shatters it into a million pieces, the relief in his face says everything you need to know. He fucking hated that statue. Eventually, Cordon comes out laughing his ass off and DB realizes immediately that everybody around him are actors and that revolting display of art was all a joke.

I immediately thought about heinously bad statue of Christiano Ronaldo from a few years ago. What a ricochet shot that artist took last night, huh?

Unfortunately for Ronaldo, that was serious. And that artist should be canceled forever, along with the Tom Brady court room sketch artist.

Good news for David Beckham, his actual statue outside of the Galaxy facility portrays him as the absolute man rocket that he is.

Sheesh, I need a cold shower.

This entire thing for the Late, Late Show so incredible and perfectly awkward. It was reminiscent of the Punk’d glory days. Perfectly executed all around. And I’m glad David Beckham likes the original statue too. Thank God. He’s a king, he deserves the best of everything in life. Including his wife and their literal billion dollars.

Well done, James Corden. Well done.
