FANS reckon they spotted David Beckham showing off his BMX skills at the Paris Olympics.
What appeared to be the 49-year-old former England captain shocked viewers with his incredible stunts, with many unable to imagine how Becks could pull it off.

But those who saw the incredible footage were gutted to learn it wasn’t really Golden Balls.
The football icon’s doppelganger- real name Alex Jumelin – was tasked with entertaining spectators for 12 days during the Olympics.
And he does share a striking facial and stylish resemblance to Beckham.
The urban cyclist stepped up the mark sporting a casual white t-shirt and Beckham’s soft spiky haircut of 2006.
Jumelin, 46, also has an identical dark beard and two tattoo sleeves down to his finger tips – similar to the ex-Manchester United star.
And people took to social media with their observations about the likeness.
One X user wrote: “Nearly 50 years old and David Beckham did this on a BMX, he is HIM!”
While a second said: “Why didn’t you tell me, Beckham is now doing BMX.”

A third added: “No way! He looks like Beckham.”
While another replied: “That’s one good lookalike, got me there!”
A fifth said: “Beckham being an insanely good freestyle BMX rider was something I did not expect to see. Sadly, it is also not him.”
Jumelin is a Paris-born cyclist who is a four-time BMX Flat world champion.
The 46-year-old has been encouraging visitors and locals in his home city to get active through cycling during the last fortnight.
France went one-two-three in men’s BMX racing with Joris Daudet crossing the finish line first to take gold with a time of 31.422.
It marked the first all-French podium in a hundred years, since the Olympics were last held here in Paris in 1924.
