The actor and his co-defendants claim the allegations of ‘fraudulent conduct’ are baseless
DAVID Beckham is suing actor Mark Wahlberg after a fitness brand deal soured — leaving him £8.5million out of pocket.
His firm, DB Ventures Ltd, is claiming the Hollywood star “duped” the England footie legend into working with F45.

Becks, 48, agreed to be the firm’s global ambassador when he moved to LA, where he and Wahlberg, 52, became friends.
He is also suing the actor’s firm, Mark Wahlberg Investment Group (MWIG), and gym group F45’s founders Adam Gilchrist and Rob Deutsch.
He claims he lost more than £8.5million when stocks he was promised were withheld until after share prices plummeted.
Wahlberg and his co-defendants claim the allegations of “fraudulent conduct” are baseless and have asked a judge to dismiss the lawsuit.
The defendants’ motion to dismiss goes further to say DBVL are blaming everyone but themselves, adding: “The 209-page, 610-paragraph SAC [complaint] tries to make up with length what it lacks in merit.
Initially, Becks teamed up with golfing legend Greg Norman who also had a grievance against F45, but a judge would later tell the pair they had to sue separately.
The former Man Utd and Real Madrid ace lived in the same Beverly Hills neighbourhood as Wahlberg when he and Victoria moved to Los Angeles in 2007 and became close pals with the star.
