David, meanwhile, shared a clip from a long-ago TV interview with Sacha Baron Cohen in character as Ali G. Cohen asks, “Were you into the Spice Girls beforehand?” to which David replies: “No, but I was into Posh.” David also posted a photo of them as a young couple on his Instagram Story with a “23 years today” caption.
