In the video, which the 42-year-old former Manchester United star quickly uploaded on Twitter, Nusret, wearing his iconic round sunglasses, comes up to the Beckhams and slices a steak before sprinkling it with salt with his famous, now viral, gesture and feeding a piece of it to David from his knife.

The flamboyant chef made headlines last year when his theatrical salting technique went viral and earned him in hundreds of thousands of views overnight.
On top of that, reports emerged that the owner of the Nurs-Et chain of Turkish steakhouses had launched an extensive PR campaign involving VIP persons worldwide having splashed out about $2 million on that.
Just one example was a visit by Hollywood icon Leonardo Di Caprio to Nusret’s restaurant in Dubai.
