‘Looking good man I know what I’m going as next year,’ says retired athlete

David Beckham has declared Dwayne Johnson the “winner” of Halloween after the actor dressed up as him.

The Black Adam star decked himself out as the English football star, wearing a long blonde wig and a vintage Manchester United Football Club from the player’s star-making years on the team.

In an Instagram carousel, the now-retired athlete posted a series of snaps of Johnson paying homage to him, writing in the caption: “And the winner is @therock looking good man I know what I’m going as next year.”

In the first image, Johnson could be seen looking away from the camera, posing in black sunglasses, a black and white headband, and the athlete’s red soccer jersey – which reads “Beckham 7” as seen in the second photo. In his own post, the actor wrote in the caption: “265lb BLA-MOAN BECKHAM #7 on the field #1 in your heart. Happy Halloween, my friends.”

“BlaMoan = Black + Samoan. #BendItLikeABlaMoan #TaurusEnergy #May2ndBabies,” he added, referencing their shared birthday on 2 May. Beckham commented on the post, writing: “I mean I thought I was looking in the mirror. Looking good man, you might need a bigger jersey.”
