David Beckham looked as though he was having an awkward chat with Clarkson’s Farm star Gerald Cooper as they were seen in deep conversation at The Chequers pub in Chipping Norton on Saturday night.
Fans of Jeremy Clarkson’s Amazon Prime show will know Gerald is well known for his barely audible speech thanks to his thick West Country accent.
And while viewers and Jeremy himself struggle to understand the fan favourite on a regular basis, it appeared that the Beckham’s were having difficulty too as they were spotted concentrating hard after bumping into Gerald.
The megastar couple had swapped their swanky, Michelin-starred restaurants for the cosy surroundings of the Cotswolds countryside pub, where they were seen enjoying a quiet lunch.
In snaps of their encounter, David is seen standing up to greet Gerald, 74, before sitting down next his wife and engaging in a conversation with the dry stone waller, who first appeared on Jeremy Clarkson’s show back in 2021.
Gerald has since become a cult figure throughout the series thanks to his accent, on-screen charisma and hilarious interactions with the former Top Gear host, 64.

While the pair switched off during some downtime from their busy schedules, David, 49, and Victoria, 50, were no doubt having to work overtime to decipher what Gerald was saying – with the TV star famously hard to understand thanks to his thick West Country accent
Their meet-up with Gerald is hardly surprising given the fact that he works at the nearby Diddly Squat farm in Chipping Norton while the Beckham’s Grade II-listed farmhouse is located on the nearby Great Tew estate.
During the friendly exchange, the Beckham’s cut a casual figure, with David opting for a plain white T-shirt while Victoria bundled up in a brown, high-neck jumper.
This isn’t the first time that David has met fan favourite Gerald.
Back in May 2023, David paid a visit to Jeremy’s Diddly Squat Farm, with the football legend stopping to pose for a snap with Gerald.
David, who cut a laidback figure in a navy blue knitted jumper over a striped white and blue shirt, beamed as he wrapped an arm around Gerald’s shoulders.
Gerald looked cheerful in a dark blue jumper, black jogging bottoms and a pair of navy slippers.
Captioning the joyful photo, Jeremy quipped: ‘Gerald. And another man.’
Gerald and Jeremy have formed a solid friendship, despite the presenter not wholly understanding the farmer due to his thick West Country accent.

David’s pub outing comes days after he was seen narrowly avoiding a parking ticket in Manchester City Centre earlier this month.
The former footballer, who recently celebrated the New Year in Miami with his family, was seen leaving Gary Neville’s Stock exchange hotel as his £600,000 black badge Rolls Royce Cullinan which he had parked on the double yellow lines.
He was accompanied by his mum Sandra and dad Ted.
However, it seems the sports star managed to avoid a parking ticket as he showed his parents the VIP treatment as they drove off from the five star hotel.
David wrapped up in a smart navy winter coat after spending the day in Manchester, white shirt and black tie.
