David Beckham found himself on the receiving end of Barack Obama's jokes at The White House this week.
The 37-year-old and the rest of the LA Galaxy soccer team were given the honour of visiting the President's residence after winning the Major League Soccer Championship.
'We have a young up-and-comer on the team, a guy named David Beckham,' Barack, 50, quipped in his speech.
'I gave David a hard time, I said half his team mates could be his kids.
'We're getting old David, though you're holding up better than me.'
Barack - who last chatted with David during a dinner held for the Royal Family in London - later posed with Becks and an LA Galaxy shirt printed with his name.
But not before he had one last dig about the sportsman's sexy H&M fashion range.
'He is tough,' said Barack.
'It is rare a man can be that tough on the field and also have his own line of underwear.'
