Not only is Becks a smooth operator in the fashion and football stakes, but now it turns out he's pretty damn suave when it comes to pulling the wool over people's eyes after he went unrecognised at a Halloween party by dressing as himself.

Beckham celebrated Halloween at a masquerade party at the Bowery Hotel in New York City in the early hours of Saturday morning, however, as he was the only person not in costume his fellow party goers failed to realise he was the real David.

According to the New York Post's Page Six column: 'David Beckham showed up after 1am with Mazdack Rassi and Alexandra Richards, who was DJing. Beckham was practically the only person at the party not in costume - but because of this barely anyone recognised him. Somebody asked him, 'What's your costume?' He said, 'I'm going as David Beckham,' and the person replied, 'Wow, you look just like him!' '

The cheeky scamp. We didn't think we could love him more.
