Shaquille O’Neal has revealed a bizarre story in which he found David Beckham’s wallet while in California – before joking he wanted $1million to return it to him.
The 49-year-old – who won the NBA four times over his 19-year career – was speaking on The Late Late Show With James Corden.
O’Neal – who retired from professional basketball more than a decade ago in 2011 – was joined on the show by Beckham’s wife Victoria and made the startling revelation.

‘I was walking one day in Beverly Hills and I found a wallet. Usually, when I find wallets, I just take out all the money out and just throw them,’ he said.
‘But this was a nice wallet, so I look. And it said David Beckham, I was like, ‘Can’t be!’ And I looked at the ID and it was David Beckham.’
‘So, I didn’t want to just give it to the front desk, so I tracked him down. I was like, David. Well, no, first I played a joke on him.
The former basketball star then jokingly prank called Beckham and playfully demanded he pay him a hefty $1m fee for the safe return of the wallet.

However, the former Manchester United, Real Madrid and England star – who is now part of the ownership group at MLS outfit Inter Miami – was not to be fooled and immediately recognised O’Neal’s voice.
O’Neal continued: ‘[I said] ”I have your wallet. I have your wallet. It’s going to cost you a million dollars getting it back.” But he knew it was me.
‘[Beckham said] ”Shaq, stop playing.” I was like, ”Dave, I found your wallet,” and he came and picked it up.’

Spice Girls star Victoria was then asked if she remembered the incident, with the 47-year-old going on to reveal she bought Beckham a wallet with a chain to avoid him from losing it.
‘Do you know I do? And David loses his wallet all the time,’ she said.
‘I actually bought him a wallet on a chain to try and prevent this from happening.’
When asked if the chain made a difference, Victoria added: ‘Well, I mean, he lost the wallet with the chain on it.’
