Football star David Beckham looked worlds away from his usual polished self in a surprising throwback photo featuring comedian James Corden.

In the snapshot, which was shared to celebrate James's birthday, David looked unrecognisable in a honey-hued mullet wig which he teamed with a pair of retro sunglasses for the ultimate 80s-inspired outfit.

The father-of-four, 48, eschewed his typically stylish ensembles in favour of a bright white suit and a bold teal T-shirt. He wore his sleeves rolled up and finished off his look with a pair of woven white loafers. Iconic!

He was joined by James Corden, 45, who donned a matching white suit, a salmon-hued T-shirt and a pair of tan shoes. The TV host switched up his look with a bouffant icy blonde wig and a pair of funky aviator sunglasses.

Alongside the hilarious throwback photo, David simply penned: "Happy birthday mate," in honour of James's big day.

It's been a busy time for the former professional football player. Last week, the star joined a cohort of A-list celebrities for the Leagues Cup final.

For the hotly anticipated game, David, who co-owns football club Inter Miami, mingled with the likes of Legally Blonde actress Reese Witherspoon and Australian-American actress Nicole Kidman.

David was all smiles in the glamorous photos which were shared to Instagram. He looked his usual dapper self in a smart navy suit emblazoned with his team's logo. Resee, 47, meanwhile, oozed sophistication in a mid-blue navy mini skirt and a plunging black blouse.

In another image, Nicole was pictured wearing a pair of low-waisted jeans and a chic turtleneck vest top. She looked positively radiant with her blonde locks secured in a low ponytail as she soaked up the sporting action.

The Beckham clan were also out in full force to watch David's football team storm to victory. He was joined by wife Victoria in addition to Harper, 12, and Cruz, 18.

Alongside a carousel of joyous family photos, proud wife VB penned: "Wow! What a night in Nashville!!!! We couldn't be prouder @davidbeckham we love you so much xxxx CHAMPIONS @intermiamicf @cruzbeckham #harperseven."
