It's a British invasion! Flying in from merry old England, Brits David Beckham and Chris Martin touched down together at LAX on Thursday. We didn't even realize these two were friends! But ... England is a small country ... so maybe all the famous Brits just know each other?!

We bet they were seated next to each other in first class, sipping champagne, toasting to each other's fame and talking about how much they both love the Beatles, leek-flavored crisps and beans on toast. You know -- like British people do.

For the flight, David looked dapper in a black zip-up jacket, black pants and a newsboy hat. Chris, who looked rather messy yet again, wore a another stained sweatshirt and some fancy motorcycle pants. We aren't sure we are loving this look -- but we do love his voice, so we can learn to forgive ...

While we rarely see these two in the same place, this isn't the first time the footballer and the crooner have hung out. Chris attended Victoria Beckham's 40th birthday at London's Arts Club in April. Umm we love the idea of these bros being buds. Maybe during hang times, Chris can teach Daveyboy to play back-up guitar and the two can start a two-piece band? Only in dreams, ladies ...
