Jude Bellingham parties with Idris Elba, Eminem and Virgil van Dijk at Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre’s drink launch

Jude Bellingham has kickstarted his holidays by attending a glitzy party in London alongside footballers and movie stars.

After helping England reach the Euro 2024 final, Bellingham has been allowed an extended break before returning to training at Real Madrid.

The Spanish capital is probably the last place he would want to be right now after losing to Spain in the final, with the midfielder in attendance at an A-lister party in London on Thursday night.

The 21-year-old looked snazzy in a sharp suit as he smiled for the cameras on the red carpet, attending Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre’s Gin & Juice drink release party with Eminem making a guest appearance.

Wearing a white shirt and blazer combo, Bellingham also met up with British actor and Hollywood star Idris Elba.

He was not the only footballer in attendance with Liverpool and Netherlands defender Virgil van Dijk also making an appearance.

The 33-year-old rocked up with his wife Rike Nooitgedagt at the event hosted at Flipper’s Roller Boogie Palace.

Like Bellingham, Van Dijk was happy to pose for pictures and cosied up with the other A-list celebrities and sport stars.

Several big names from across the pond also made the trip including four-time NBA MVP LeBron James.

He was joined by Team USA team-mates Anthony Davis, Bam Adebayo, Jason Tatum and Derrick White ahead of the Paris Olympics later this month.

As a stakeholder in Liverpool, James knows all about the Anfield club and has attended matches in the past while he and Van Dijk are close pals.

Basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal also attended, even making it on stage at one point in the night.

A number of British celebs made their way into the event, as well, including Magician Dynamo, Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock, rapper Big Narstie and presenters Vernon Kay and Tess Daly.

Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg were celebrating the release of their drink Gin & Juice in the United Kingdom.

The name comes from Snoop’s big hit of the same name from 1994 and the gin-based drink comes in several flavours including citrus, melon, passionfruit and apricot.

Both Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg even got on stage and gave a performance with Eminem showcasing his rapping skills as well.

Gin & Juice will be available across UK stores by the end of the month.
