got David Beckham good as the soccer star was telling a story about Justin on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, by jumping out and scaring him half to death. David stopped by Ellen’s studio on an episode that aired on Wednesday to chat with the talk show host about his kids and his recent guest role on Modern Family as himself. At one point, Ellen mentions that David’s kids Brooklyn, , Cruz, and Harper ended up trick-or-treating at Justin Bieber’s house last year, and asks the pro athlete how that ended up happening.

“We all follow Justin on Instagram, of course,” David said. “And we’re all fans and we all love him. It was coming to the end of our night of trick-or-treating. The kids have had far too much candy and enjoyed themselves a lot. So, on the way back, Romeo turns around to me and he said, ‘Justin’s…giving snow cones away….’ So, I DM’ed him and he got back within, like, seconds, and he said, ‘Yeah, we’re doing it now.’ We were literally two minutes from the house, so we went straight ‘round there. Turned up. And, yeah, we all got snow cones.”

“Oh man, I really didn’t think that was gonna happen,” David says in a fit of laughter, before expressing some kind words about Justin. “I know you all love him, but he’s the most amazing human being,” he tells Ellen, who agrees with him. “He really is. He really is. For someone to achieve what he has achieved and still be an amazing person and to be doing what he’s doing. You know, I always gauge it off of how people are to kids—and to my kids—and he has been so kind to my kids over the years. It’s, you know, it’s great to see him. Great to see him back.” During the same episode, Justin participated in a segment called “Burning Questions,” where he answered many invasive inquiries.
