The superstar wide receiver spent the day undercover as a taxi cab driver, ferrying unsuspecting passengers around New York City.

Beckham is in the third year of his NFL career, and has become one of the most recognisable faces in the league after one-handed catches and spectacular touchdowns, combined with high-profile outbursts and rivalries.

However, wearing a grey beanie and large, dark glasses, OBJ managed to pick up several residents without arousing suspicion.

When one of his customers said they didn't really understand football, Beckham said that he "didn't really understand it either".

He chatted about the Giants, their play this season and himself, including his hair and dance moves. He even received an embarrassing call from his mum!

It wasn't until the end of each journey that Beckham revealed his identity.
