James Corden is living the dream!

Sure, he's got a great gig hosting CBS' Late Late Show, but that's nothing compared to the time he got to take a bubble bath with David Beckham!

On Thursday's Conan, Corden recounted sharing a tub with Victoria Beckham's hunky husband. "We were just relaxing as we often do, and we didn't know that there was a photograph being taken," he said, getting laughs from Conan O'Brien and the audience. "We were just relaxing at the end of a day like we often do, so, there's nothing more to it than that..."

Of course, there's a little more to it than that! Corden and Beckham were actually shooting a sketch for Comic Relief, a U.K. charity raising funds to help eliminate poverty around the world. In the 2010 sketch, Corden had quite the at-home spa day with Beckham, straightening his hair, taking a bath together and even cuddling in pajamas—all for a good cause!

It was a pleasant experience, too. "We shot for four hours. We went for dinner, we're hanging out," Corden told BBC One shortly after filming the spot. "I'm like, 'Oh, my god,' trying to hold it together! And I'm literally, inside, I'm just going, 'You're the most beautiful man I've ever seen.'"

"I was trying to be really cool," Corden admitted. "But he was great. I can't speak highly enough of him. When it came to dinner, he ordered in fluent Italian. I was like, 'I didn't know you're fluent in Italian?' He goes, 'Yeah, of course I am, I play on an Italian team.' I said, 'But you never give press conferences and things in Italian!' He goes, 'Because if I get one word wrong, then they'll just go, 'Ahh...he's an idiot.' [But] he was completely fluent!"

"He was completely gracious," Corden told BBC One. "Every single person that met him he just took this time, and you saw them all walking away going wow—I can't speak highly enough about the guy, really.'"
