Beckham struck up a friendship with the 50-year-old actor - who was recently left devastated by the breakdown of his marriage to Katie Holmes - when he moved to Los Angeles and loves spending time with the father-of-three, reported Contactmusic.
"Do I ride my bikes with Tom? Yeah I do. Have we become good friends over the years? Yes, we have become very good friends. It's not a big celebrity thing. It's just something that happened. And it's good to have friends like that.
"He's a really good person. Tom is one of the hardest working people I know. He never stops. He's a great dad and he's got a great family behind him," Beckham said.
