The locale isn't bad, either: Italy's Lake Como, where the soccer hunk is currently living in the former Sexiest Man Alive's villa while Clooney is away, PEOPLE has confirmed.
Clooney, 47, recently filmed a March 12 special episode of NBC's ER, while Beckham, 33, has been playing in Italy for AC Milan under a loan agreement with his LA Galaxy team.
Hello! magazine, which first reported the sublease, says Clooney and Beckham became friends after being introduced by designer Giorgio Armani at last year's Met Ball in New York.
They grew closer once Beckham moved to Italy, where, the magazine reports, Clooney took the soccer star under his wing.
