David Beckham to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame after Netflix documentary

David Beckham is set to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2025.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has revealed the honourees selected for the tribute on the iconic Hollywood Boulevard next year and the England star, 49, who was worried his image was going to suffer a blow to his image following the release of his Netflix documentary Beckham last year, is included.

The documentary was in fact so well-received globally that months after it aired Hollywood has now officially acknowledged the football icon.

He joins other big name honourees in 2025, including legendary singer Prince, who died in 2016 age 57, American punk rock band Green Day - whose members are Billie Joe Armstrong, Tre Cool, and Mike Dirnt - actress Jane Fonda, 86, and actor Alan Cumming, 58.

John Carpenter, Jessica Chastain, Bill Duke, Robert Englund, Emilio Estevez, Colin Farrell, Nia Long, Lisa Liu, Glynn Turman, and 101-year-old stuntwoman Toni Vaz, have also made the cut.

The television category will honour Fran Drescher, Lauren Graham, Bill Nye, Molly Shannon, Sherri Shepherd, Courtney B. Vance, Chris Wallace, and "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

While the honourees have been selected, they have two years to schedule their induction ceremony, usually with a hefty contribution fee in the tens of thousands, or the offer will expire.

“The Walk of Fame has made history again!” said Peter Roth, Chairman of the Walk of Fame Selection Committee. “I am thrilled to announce the distinguished honourees who will grace the iconic Walk of Fame in the Class of 2025.”

“Each honouree truly embodies the essence of excellence in their respective fields. The committee and I can't wait to see our honourees becoming part of this world-famous walkway!” he added.

Beckham and co are set to have individual ceremonies and the dates and timings for each will be announced 10 days before they happen.
