David Beckham fans were left in awe when he showed off his BMX skills at the Olympics. But all is not as it seems.
A TikTok video has been circulating online that allegedly shows the 49-year-old soccer star performing a series of impressive tricks on a BMX bike in front of an enthusiastic crowd at the Paris Olympics.
Wearing a tight white T-shirt, black jeans and trainers, the handsome lad left the audience in awe as he performed his agile stunts, then smiled and waved to everyone.
However, it seems that David Beckham has not yet shown any unprecedented talent, because the man in question is only a doppelganger.
The BMX star is French-born professional cyclist Alex Jumelin, who was reportedly tasked with entertaining the crowd for 12 days.
David Beckham fans were left in awe when he showed off his BMX skills at the Olympics. But all is not as it seems.
A TikTok video has been circulating online that allegedly shows the 49-year-old soccer star performing a series of impressive tricks on a BMX bike in front of an enthusiastic crowd at the Paris Olympics.
It is therefore not surprising that fans are confusing his doppelganger. He looks exactly like Victoria Beckham’s husband, with his spiky hair, beard and sleeve full of tattoos.
Followers who did not know the cyclist’s real identity quickly expressed their admiration for his skills in the comments.
They wrote: ‘Can’t believe he has a secret skill’; ‘That’s David Bikem.’
‘Multi-talented’; ‘This guy is the best at everything :)’; ‘My hero’.
“He’s almost 50 years old, oh my god”; “And that’s at 49 years old.”
While David may not have been showing off his BMX skills, he has been busy with his family lately – albeit at the expense of his wife Victoria.
The Spice Girl was left red-faced after being tricked into a hilarious prank by her family TikTok last week.
Victoria, 50, was joined by her husband David, her children Romeo and Harper and a friend as they tried their version of the ‘Just Give Me My Money’ trend that has gone viral on social media.

During the performance on TikTok, a group takes turns stepping forward enthusiastically and shouting: ‘Give me my money.
After everyone has turned in his/her card, the others congratulate him/her with applause and cheers.
But after the last person has finished speaking, the others remain silent on purpose and exchange awkward glances. In this case, Victoria was the one who was left in the dark.
After Victoria shouted ‘Give me my money’, she turned red in the face. Her family remained silent and burst out laughing after making her the butt of jokes.
Romeo apologized to his mother, writing in the caption: “Sorry mom” with a series of laughing emojis.
