Beckham to coach Brad Pitt's son

Video Safari

Real Madrid midfielder David Beckham is set to coach Brad Pitt's five year-old son, Maddox.
Maddox has already enrolled at the David Beckham Soccer Academy in Los Angeles, and now Pitt, 42, wants the ex-England captain to give Cambodian-born Maddox some one-on-one coaching.

And the middleman behind this bizarre arrangement is former Wimbledon hard man Vinnie Jones.
The 41-year-old footballer turned actor, who starred alongside Pitt in hit gangster
movie Snatch, has become pals with Beckham thanks to his promotion work for his U.S. soccer schools and asked him to take a look at the kid.
A source told The Sun: "Brad has asked if there is any chance of David giving a one-on-one tutorial.
"It seems all the all the ex-pats from the UK join a local football team in Hollywood. Celebs like Robbie Williams, Jason Statham and Vinnie know each other through having a knockabout."
The source added: "Maddox was being coached by an English guy over there who happened to tell Vinnie."
