World-famous star took money out of Man United icon David Beckham's wallet and made demand

NBA icon Shaquille O'Neal shared a hilarious story about finding David Beckham's wallet in Los Angeles on 'The Late Late Show with James Corden'.

The basketball superstar, who boasts four NBA titles - three with the Los Angeles Lakers and one with the Miami Heat - was in the company of Beckham's spouse, Victoria, when he recounted the amusing Beverly Hills incident.

Upon discovering Beckham's ID inside, Shaq opted not to hand it over to a desk clerk but instead decided to personally return the lost item to Beckham, even jokingly demanding a large sum for its retrieval.
