Victoria, who was proudly watching joined by her best friend and Hollywood superstar, Eva Longoria, and James Corden, who has been a close associate for almost two decades.
David’s plaque is in pride of place at the centre of Hollywood Boulevard, just over five miles from Brooklyn's house, which he shares with Nicola Peltz, an aspiring actress.
Speaking in an interview with Variety magazine on Friday, David admitted he never imagined he would receive a star.
He said: 'All I wanted to be was a successful soccer player for Manchester United and England.
'That’s all I cared about. I didn’t care about the fame, the wealth, all the admiration you get.
'All I cared about was being a soccer player. So now, having a star, becoming a ‘Sir,’ all these things that have come with the career that I’ve had, I feel very lucky.'
The sportsman added: 'I’ve never really had any offers from Hollywood. I like to stay in my lane, in all honesty.
'I’ve played a couple of roles in Guy Ritchie’s movies, but that was just for fun. That was me and him having a glass of wine and him saying, “Do you want to be in this movie?”
'That’s really how that happened [...] Hollywood? I’m not sure I’m there yet.'
People who attended the ceremony were asked to line up at the southwest corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue and wear their favourite football jersey.
