We're still not sure why dreamy CNN anchor Anderson Cooper profiled dreamy "football" star David Beckham on 60 Minutes last night (something about Beckham being rich and famous and dreamy?) but he did. And it's on the internet! We're sure the old people who make up the 60 Minutes audience wondered who these dashing young men were and why they were invading their TV screens with their youthful virility and mutual appreciation of athletic prowess. Becks' amazing robot wife Victoria, oddly, is barely mentioned. Full segment, after the jump.

I consider Anderson hotter than David Beckham. That is all.
Please please please let them make out.
"Oddly", or obviously???!!!!!1!
@BettyCrocker: You can only see that on "60 Minutes II."
Sorry, but Coops + Becks can never be.
Becks' toes are too busted up.
Beckham explained how he makes a shot "bend" or go straight depending on which part of the ball he makes physical contact with. But I don't know what that has to do with anything.
This is just like my favorite sexual fantasy...only in my fantasy, I am there too, and we aren't playing soccer, and we are all naked.
You could tell that Coop was the last one picked for teams in kickball by the way he practically hopped with delight when Becks asked if he wanted to get in goal.
Saw this on the air last night. For a stodgy 60 Minutes piece, it sure did revel in the glory of shirtless David Beckham and all that that image entails. Plenty of gratuitous shots of DB ripping his shirt off, DB as underwear model, DB walking around on the field topless, etc.
Anderson must have been in heaven.
Bend it like Beckham and take it in the pooper like Cooper.
If Gyllenhaal made a cameo, I think this could qualify as gay porn. Do you think Coop edited the long lingering shot of Beck in undies?
Only in the US would this start with, "you may have heard of David Beckham, did you know he was a good soccer player?"
I dream of the day Anderson Cooper and Ryan Seacrest get together (and we all know what I mean by together). What a news team those two will make.
@TedSez: That comment was either pointless or elliptically hilarious. Coop is clearly a knuckle-baller (trajectory can't be guessed).
She may be robotic, but she's still hot, dammit!
"It's all about finding the right place, and keeping it there."
"It's all about finding the right place and keeping it there."
@CrankYank: That's right because anywhere else on the planet it would say ". . . did you know he was a good FOOTBALL player?"
Very Major
(Maaayjuhh)
Actually, I'm pretty sure Anderson is treading on Ryan Seacrest's turf here. He keeps giddily talking about his own "man crush" (no need to qualify, honey!) and offering to take he and the wife away on three-day weekends. I've seen it on E!
I mean, it was my friend that saw it on E!.
@drugman: Thanks -- I was going for "elliptically hilarious," but possibly missed the mark.
I'm thinking they went at it in the locker room shower. If not, I'm sure Coop gave it his best shot.
Wow, what a score for Coop. Who needs Aaron Brown when CNN's stud horse can bring in a guest like that?
To CBS no less.
Damn, it's like he got Osama bin Laden, just not as hot.
"I'm so gay for you, dude."
I expected the title of the post to be Coop and Becks Are "Friends".
Ok, not so much "expected" as "fantasized".
@Tippi from Toronto: We all have our own taste but after the Armani underwear ad, no one can convince me that Becks isn't top notch.
Of course that isn't to say Coop is chopped liver.
When I watch the video, I'll just pretend they come back to the hotel to shower off and by some horrible error, we are all stuck in the ONLY available room in the hotel - one with no shower, just a big jacuzzi bathtub.
DB Not bad, mate. Let’s get you out on the field again, what!
AC Yeah, wow, I didn’t think it would be like that!
DB Right, mate. Let’s hit the showers.
AC What? Oh. Yeah. Right.
DB So, Vanderbilt, right? Real American nobility?
AC Oh, hah, well, you know—American nobility.
DB Well, not Jewish, at any rate.
AC What? I. Oh. Oh my.
DB I say, I hope the white’s the only premature thing about it.
AC Oh, Mr. Beck—Becks—I don’t know what—I, I—ah—
[Mild gurgling/gagging sounds. Fade to white.]
@iplaudius: Letter perfect!
AC's adoring glances at 11:22... the only time in this video when he's not sporting the furrowed brow/frown expression.
@iplaudius: Hot!
@Furious George: You have to wonder about the production guys, there.
Anderson Cooper's editor, out?
