David Beckham Is Suing Mark Wahlberg

This wasn't on our bingo card for 2024 (or any other year, really): former soccer star David Beckham suing Marky Mark. However, the two were involved in a brand deal that went south. That's why Beckham is suing Mark Wahlberg.

According to The Sun, Beckham is suing the Ted star for alleged losses after an F45 Training brand deal tanked, which Wahlberg reportedly has a 36 percent interest in and is the chief branding officer.

Beckham's firm, DB Ventures, claims he was "duped" by his former neighbor and friend. Beckham allegedly lost $10 million out of pocket when stocks that the former professional footballer was promised weren’t given to him until after share prices plummeted. He is also suing Wahlberg’s investment firm, Mark Wahlberg Investment Group, along with F45 founders Adam Gilchrist and Rob Deutsch, who launched the company in 2012 in Australia.

The 48-year-old English soccer star agreed to be a global ambassador for F45 Training when he moved to Los Angeles back in 2007. Beckham befriended Wahlberg when they lived in the same neighborhood. Beckham was playing for the Los Angeles Galaxy team at the time.  He was featured in several of F45's social media posts promoting the brand, but they have since been deleted. F45 is a chain of fitness centers with locations in 60 countries, including the United States, that “offers innovative, high-intensity functional group workouts that are fast, fun, and results-driven."

In addition to Wahlberg being a shareholder with F45, he is also a co-founder of sport utility gear brand Municipal and an investor in Fletcha Azul Tequila.

Wahlberg and his co-defendants are requesting the judge to dismiss the case and say that the claims of “fraudulent conduct” are baseless. In their motion to dismiss, they claimed that Beckham was putting the responsibility for the stocks on everyone but himself.

Wahlberg bought a minority stake in F45 through his investment firm along with FOD Capital in 2019. Beckham first attempted to sue alongside LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman, who had his own issue with F45, in 2022 in California court, but a judge ruled that they had to file separate suits.

Wahlberg has long been associated with a disciplined diet and workout routines kicking off at 4 a.m. As we previously reported, he opened up about how much he “absolutely” loves taking cold plunges. The Family Plan star, 52, goes about three and a half to five minutes after his early morning workouts, calling cold plunges “an absolute must.”

Celebrities take working out very seriously. Whether it is to get into character for a role or as part of their branding and aesthetic, Hollywood's elite takes care of their body inside and out. A new study conducted by Mirafit reveals the most searched celebrity workout routines of 2023. Some action stars made the top of the list.

As consumers, there is no shortage of references for which celebrities do which kinds of workouts. Last year, Men's Journal dove into the most popular celebrity training plans that give lean, perfectly muscular physiques.

Pilates, HIIT workouts, martial arts, and yoga are among the most popular listed workouts for women on top of gym routines.
