David Beckham brought his sons, Romeo and Cruz Beckham, along with him at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Sports Awards in Los Angeles on Thursday night, where the famous trio got slimed onstage.

Romeo, 11, and Cruz, 9, presented their retired soccer star father, 39, with the Legend Award.

According to Us Weekly, during his speech, he told the audience, “When I was young, my dream was to be a professional soccer player. If you have dreams and you believe in yourself, your dreams can come true."

The Beckhams were missing mom Victoria Beckham, older brother Brooklyn, 15, and the youngest of the clan; Harper, 3.

Daily News notes when they were slimed in gold-colored goo, Cruz seemed more taken aback by it than his older brother Romeo. Romeo stared at his dad in shock as Cruz seemed to gasp at being slimed. His dad helped him out by wiping the slime from his eyes so he could see.

This was the first-ever Nickelodeon Kids’ Sports Choice Awards, which took place at LA’s UCLA Pauley Pavilion.
