Wayne Rooney doesn't turn 40 until the end of this month, but birthday celebrations for the former Manchester United and England star have already begun.
The footballer and his wife Coleen, also 39, spent last weekend enjoying a luxury trip to the Cotswolds with friends.
Coleen arranged for the couple to be whisked away via helicopter to a lakeside estate in the idyllic region, which is home to stars such as David and Victoria Beckham.
And after their arrival, notoriously aggressive striker Rooney unwound by dressing up as Freddie Mercury and belting out Queen's greatest hits, according to The Sun.
