David Beckham makes another American friend, this one is named ‘Snoop Dogg’

You know, this David Beckham guy had me totally fooled. Here I thought all along he was coming to America solely to promote soccer in this fine country, reach out to our youth and try and make the sport more relevant in the States.

But, this is not so friends. It was clearly just a clever disguise to get at his ultimate plan: making movies and a fashion label with Snoop D-o-double-g:

Snoop Dogg has revealed that he and unlikely chum David Beckham are planning to work on some projects together that include a movie and fashion label.

The host of tonight’s European MTV Video Music Awards talked about his possible ventures with footballing star Becks, and how they have made an unusual bond.

He tells the Daily Mirror: “No one would have thought me and my boy David would have anything in common – we come from separate worlds. But he has the dollars at his disposal and we’re talking about putting our money together to do a movie. It’s incredibly exciting.

“We both love fashion too, and we might even do a fashion label as well. I think he got his idea to have cornrows in his hair from me, which is great.

However, it’s not all just business with the duo. They have family time together as well, hanging out for some quality time together:

“It’s not just business that we talk about when we’re together, we also chat about our families all the time.

“He was terrific with my kids and they had a great time as he taught them how to shoot and score the perfect goal. That’s a partnership you never thought you would see – Snoop and Beckham.

He added: “I love soccer just as much as he loves hip hop. He hasn’t asked me to teach his kids how to rap yet – but I’m there if he ever needs it.”

David Beckham has to be like, the coolest dude ever. Tom Cruise and Snoop Dogg? How does he pull this off? I am so totally, utterly impressed by this man from England and the way he courts all of Hollywood’s most famous celebrities. What spirit and vigor he must possess.
