Becks in checks at the basketball and looks like fellow fan Charlize Theron has been shopping at the same store

His 'n' hers: David Beckham and Charlize Theron sport matching shirts as they attended an LA Lakers game last night


It's always embarrassing when celebrities turn up to the same event wearing matching clothes.

But we suspect that David Beckham and Charlize Theron probably never thought they'd ever have that problem - until last night.

The footballer and the actress were snapped at a basketball game in Los Angeles wearing identical black and white plaid shirts and faded jeans.

But Victoria can breathe a sigh of relief because while both of them had courtside tickets, they weren't actually sitting together.

The pair were cheering on the home side at the Staples Centre who were taking on Oklahoma City Thunder in the first half of game two of their first round Western Conference playoff game.

And not to look too casual, Charlize teamed her fitted shirt with skinny blue jeans and slashed, open-toed killer heels.

Beckham, on the other hand, was still in a plaster cast as his ruptured Achilles tendon continues to heal.

Looking relaxed and happy, the 34-year-old laughed and chatted with his producer friend and basketball buddy Navin Naranga.

And for someone who is rarely seen drinking, it was also a surprise to see Becks knocking back a pint of lager, as he enjoys his time off from football.


Refreshing: Charlize and Becks quench their thirst with an ice cold beer


Becks is becoming a courtside regular as he waits for his foot to heal, although we suspect he'd love nothing more than to be running around all day training for the World Cup.

It was his third visit to see team in a week, having been there seven days ago with Naranga and a few days later with celebrity chef and friend Gordon Ramsay in tow.

Charlize was at the game with an unidentified male friend who she appeared to be getting quite flirty with as they shared a joke together.

What's so funny? Beckham erupts into giggles as his friend Navin Narang makes him laugh


The South African-born actress, 34, is back on the singles scene again after splitting from her long-term actor boyfriend Stuart Townsend in January.

According to reports, she is set to team up again with Mark Wahlberg, Jason Statham, and Seth Green again for the sequel to their 2003 remake of the Italian Job.

The Brazilian Job, pegged for release next year, follows Charlie Croker, played by Wahlberg, and his fellow crew of expert thieves as they head to Rio de Janeiro to pull off another heist.
