    According to reports, Beckham has recently launched his first talk show, “Beckham & Friends Live,” on Paramount Plus.

    In the show, the former England captain will host conversations with his famous friends, including Gordon Ramsay, Tom Cruise, and Ryan Reynolds. Viewers in the UK and US can watch Beckham discuss highlights and controversies from the UEFA Champions League matches.

    The first two episodes will be broadcast live from London, covering the semi-final second-leg matches between Inter Milan and Barcelona, as well as Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal.

    The 49-year-old Beckham will then travel to Germany for the Champions League final on May 31 at the Allianz Arena in Munich. However, he has not yet revealed details about the guests for this episode.

    In an interview from his home in Miami, Florida, Beckham told CBS Sports: “I’m really excited to sit down with some of my mates to watch the game and have a great conversation.”

    He has already participated in trial episodes of the show. The studio has a cozy atmosphere, featuring houseplants, comfortable chairs, books on a coffee table, and a home-style rug. In another Instagram clip, Beckham is seen embracing Thierry Henry, the Arsenal and Barcelona legend, who jokingly mentions Real Madrid’s defeat against Arsenal. It is suggested that Beckham’s lucrative move into hosting could position him as the new face of British football television, potentially replacing Gary Lineker, who is set to step down from “Match of the Day.”
