David Beckham turned 44 today and he and his famous family took to Instagram to reveal how they were marking the occasion. The former footballer got a rather unusual gift from his wife Victoria Beckham, 45, which he shared a picture of before deleting. However, the heartthrob couldn’t resist gushing about a message he got from none other than Brienne of Tarth from Game of Thrones. He shared a special video from the actress behind the fearsome warrior, Gwendoline Christie, in which she stated: “I will shield your back.”
I swear it by the old gods... Happy birthday David Beckham from Brienne of Tarth

“I can’t believe this!” David had admitted to his 55.3 million followers, as he uploaded a video of yet unknown person today.
Only the blonde star’s eye could be seen at the beginning as she spoke confidently down the camera.
She said: “I will shield your back and keep your counsel. And give my life for yours if need be. I swear it by the old gods…”
But the lens than zoomed out to reveal it was Gwendoline as she flashed a huge smile at him at the end.
“Happy birthday David, from Brienne of Tarth,” she stated, which he captioned: “Thank you @gwendolineuniverse @gameofthrones. AMAZING!!”
The athlete is a huge fan of the HBO drama, regularly posting on social media about it, as the final series, season 8, airs.
