He hasn't gotten to the top by taking it slow, so it's no wonder David Beckham was in China launching the new Jaguar just one day after celebrating wife Victoria's 40th birthday in LA.

The 38-year-old former footballer looked his usual dapper self at the 13th Beijing International Automotive Exhibition on Saturday where he introduced the new Jaguar F-Type Coupe.

Beckham donned a grey tailored designer suit with undertones of blue and mirrored James Bond as he cooly stepped out of the white sports car.

He showed no signs of fatigue, despite celebrating at LA hot spot Nobu with Victoria and good friends Gordon and Tana Ramsay 24 hours earlier.

The foursome were out celebrating the 40th birthday of Posh Spice herself, with the former pop star choosing to keep things low-key with an intimate dinner with friends as opposed to a big birthday bash.

The couples have been close friends for years with the wives often posting pictures of themselves together onto social media.

The entire family were thought to be accompanied by the celebrity chef and his brood for the Beckham’s trip to a Utah spa before Victoria’s birthday.

The day itself included a brisk walk around the Canyon, during which Victoria posted a picture of herself taking in the breath-taking view while resting on a large rock to her Twitter account.

It was a notably intimate affair for the famous couple, who have been married for 14-years and have four children together: Brooklyn, 15, Romeo, 11, Cruz, 9, and Harper, 2.
