Harry Mens Encounters David Beckham in Saint-Tropez

David Beckham caused a significant stir at restaurant Lulu in Saint-Tropez on August 11, 2026, drawing intense attention from staff and patrons. According to reporting from De Telegraaf and Headliner.nl, the former footballer was accompanied by an entourage that initially shielded him from the crowd before he interacted with guests.

The encounter was witnessed by Harry Mens, the 79-year-old presenter of the RTL 7 program Business Class. Mens was dining at the establishment with several regular guests from his show, including psychic Liesbeth van Dijk and investment expert Martine Hafkamp. While Mens did not take any photographs of the athlete, Hafkamp managed to secure a photo with Beckham, according to Headliner.nl.

Beckham’s Arrival at Restaurant Lulu

Reports indicate that Beckham’s entry into the restaurant immediately attracted the attention of other guests and the service staff. Although his entourage initially provided a barrier, Beckham later walked among the tables to engage with visitors. Headliner.nl reports that during these interactions, Beckham spoke with one guest specifically about their dog.

Harry Mens noted that the level of commotion caused by Beckham exceeded that of other high-profile celebrities who frequent the area. Mens specifically compared the reaction to those of Leonardo DiCaprio and Elton John, stating that Beckham created more of an uproar than those figures, according to Headliner.nl.

Harry Mens’ Summer Residency in Saint-Tropez

The sighting occurred during Mens’ annual summer stay in the French resort town. According to Headliner.nl, the presenter has rented a villa in Saint-Tropez every summer for more than 25 years. He uses this period to host relations and frequent the local dining scene.

Mens’ presence in Saint-Tropez often overlaps with his professional circle from Business Class, as evidenced by the company of Hafkamp and Van Dijk during the lunch where Beckham appeared.
