David Beckham turns 40 this weekend and he’s celebrating by joining Twitter.
It’s unlike him to be so late to the party but, as it’s Becks, we’ll let him off.
A source told the Mirror: “While Victoria’s been a fan for a while, David has never really seen the point of it. But after Elton John and David Furnish Instagrammed their recent wedding, he had the idea to do something similar for his birthday.
“Clearly he won’t be posting all that goes on – especially after midnight – but he thought his 40th marked the perfect time to experiment with something new with regards to brand Beckham.”
Timely snaps of Becks on Twitter and Instagram? This NEEDS to happen.
The hunk is spending milestone birthday in Marrakech, joined by his nearest and dearest including wife Victoria, 41, their children Brooklyn, 16, Romeo, 12, Cruz, 10 and three-year-old Harper.
DB’s bestie Dave Gardner and his girlfriend Liv Tyler will also be partying at the five-star Amanjena resort.
He might not have joined the Twitterati just yet, but David has over 50 million followers on Facebook – something he was quick to point out to Brooklyn recently.
The eldest Beckham child posted a video to Instagram, thanking his fans for getting him one million followers – which is more than we could ever hope to have.
But his dad poked his head into the video and added cheekily: “I’ve got 52!”
Alright Becks, no need to rub it in. We’re sure it won’t be long until he’s got the whole of Twitter on his followers list, either!
