David Beckham has almost ticked every box on his Great American Checklist.

1. Befriend Tom Cruise - check.
2. Take the wife shopping in NEW YORK - check
3. Buy a massive car like the one in that R Kelly video - check.
4. Eat a great big meat loaf in secret - check

AND YESTERDAY…

5. Get slowly approached by a cop on a motorbike, just like the ones in Chips - check. (pictured)

Now all that’s left is to

6. Go to prom.
7. Avoid Tom Cruise.
8. Leave America.

Good luck, Becks. See you soon.
