David Beckham publicly defended wife Victoria on Instagram after a US comedian mocked the former Spice Girl's seemingly stony-faced reaction while the couple watched England's World Cup quarter-final in Norway at the weekend. The 'Beckham' star replied directly to a post, telling fans that Victoria 'was celebrating inside,' as a jokey critique of her expression went viral.
The Beckhams were among a cluster of celebrities spotted in the stands for England's knockout match, with TV cameras repeatedly cutting to the pair as the game intensified. While David threw himself into the drama in familiar fashion, it was Victoria's calm, almost poker-faced look that some viewers seized on, reviving an old obsession with her refusal to grin on cue.
