David Beckham: 'Living in LA is surreal'

David Beckham has revealed that he loves living in California.

The footballer, who is considering retiring from the sport, said he often experiences surreal moments when he bumps into Hollywood stars.

"Every time I drive through Beverly Hills I kind of pinch myself and think how lucky I am to be living in such a beautiful place," he told The Sun. "We've lived a pretty normal life. Living in California is something special and something we have enjoyed over these last few years.

"There have been moments we have sat back - as a family - and talked about how lucky we are. The other day, I was driving the kids and stopped at a junction. When I looked over Al Pacino was walking across the road with his small kid. That was surreal. Moments like that are amazing.

"There was one other time when I was at the LA Lakers. I was waiting for the toilet and someone was in there. The door opened and Jack Nicholson came out and he said, 'It's all yours, David'. One, I was amazed to see Jack and then, obviously, I was amazed he knew my name."

Beckham recently admitted that he worries whether his children's privileged lifestyle will make them spoilt.
