Victoria Beckham and Richard E. Grant had a Spice World reunion!
The pair reunited 28 years after appearing together in the music movie when they bumped into each other while on vacation on the Amalfi Coast in Italy.
Grant, 68, posted a photo on Instagram on Tuesday, Aug. 19, of himself and Victoria, 51, posing beside a restaurant table, revealing that the pair just happened to be dining next to each other at the same restaurant.
“🎶’STOP RIGHT NOW’ 🎶 I worked with @victoriabeckham on SPICEWORLD – THE MOVIE, 28 years ago and found ourselves at adjacent lunch tables today @ristoranteloscoglio on the Amalfi coast.” the actor wrote in the caption.
“As delightful and warm as you could wish for. 🥰🇮🇹🥰🇮🇹🥰🇮🇹🥰🇮🇹,” he added of the sweet interaction. “So lovely seeing you!!!!” Victoria responded in the comment section. “Kisses and happy summer xxxxxxx.”
Having missed out on the reunion, Victoria’s husband, David Beckham, wrote back, “Can’t believe I didn’t get one 🤨 @richard.e.grant next time ❤️.”
Grant replied with a cheeky nod to the 50-year-old former soccer star’s impending Knighthood, “@davidbeckham 🤣You need to up your ‘game’ Sir David – congratulations! Next time 😉🥰.”
Grant appeared alongside Victoria and the rest of the Spice Girls in the 1997 movie Spice World, playing the band’s fictional manager Clifford.
In January, the Saltburn star posted photos on Instagram of himself donning his iconic purple suit from the film as he attended his daughter Olivia’s prom-themed 36th birthday party. Grant wore the same purple jewel tone shirt, tie, and slacks worn by his character, which he revealed had been “zipped up” in his attic for the past 28 years.

While attending the Death of a Unicorn premiere in May, Grant expressed his surprise at being able to still fit into the outfit. “It fit astonishingly. So, I was amazed,” he told PEOPLE.
The British actor said his fondest memory of making Spice World was when he got to introduce his daughter, who was a huge Spice Girls fan, to the ladies.
“My 8-year-old daughter was off-the-charts excited because she worshiped the Spice Girls and they were at the height of their fame,” Grant told PEOPLE. “So being able to take her to the set and get to know all of them was an incredible thrill.”
