George Clooney has made friends with David and Victoria Beckham on a flight across America.

According to The Mirror, the actor joined the couple on Giorgio Armani's private jet on the way to the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute Gala.

They all reportedly drank Cristal champagne and Clooney apparently enjoyed Victoria's "sense of humour".

"George was only recently introduced to the Beckhams but they hit it off straight away," said a source.

"He totally digs Victoria's dry, very British sense of humour and gets her jokes, which a lot of Americans don't.

"They went out for dinner the evening before their flight but the trio really bonded on the plane, swapping gossip and doing hilarious impressions."
