David Beckham, son Cruz and Elvis star Austin Butler remove tree from Canadian road

David Beckham, his son Cruz and Elvis actor Austin Butler worked together to lift a tree blocking their path on a road in Canada.

In an unlikely turn of events, Victoria Beckham posted a video of the strange moment on Instagram - showing the three men lifting a tree out of the road so they could continue on their journey.

The group were reportedly on their way to Texas to watch Beckham’s football team Inter Miami - which he co-owns – play FC Dallas.

The tree lifting episode happened in Muskoka, an area of Central Ontario.

In a caption, the fashion designer wrote: “Did u ever think u would see Elvis and Beckham lifting a tree? Helping the community in Muskoka. I’m impressed gentleman! Kisses VB.”

In the actual clip, Beckham can be heard saying: “There’s a tree that has fallen down and look how manly my husband is. David looking very manly. Push harder, come on guys.”

It is not known how the Beckhams and Butler, 31, know each other.

It comes after the couple sang Spice Girls hit Say You’ll Be There to friends in Miami to celebrate footballer Lionel Messi beginning his Inter Miami career.

Victoria shared a video of her and husband David dancing and singing to her former pop band’s 1996 chart-topper.

On TikTok, she wrote: “Warming up the vocals in Miami! More to come.”

Victoria, who was known as Posh Spice, embarked on a solo music career in the 2000s before becoming a fashion designer after her exit from the group.

She last sang with Spice Girls at the closing ceremony of the London Olympics in 2012 as they danced on top of decorated black taxis.

The other members – Melanie Chisholm, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton and Geri Horner – reunited in 2019 for a tour of the UK and Ireland without Victoria.

She married David in July 1999 and the couple have had four children – Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper.

David formed Inter Miami in 2018 and is a co-owner.

Butler’s performance as Elvis in the Baz Luhrmann biopic was highly praised - with the movie nominated for eight Academy Awards and nine Baftas.
