'It Looks Terrible': David Beckham Reveals DIY Haircut Incident

If there’s one thing that comes in a close second to David Beckham’s legendary football career, it’s the many memorable haircuts he’s rocked over the years. 

From frosted tips, wavy locks to a mohawk or two, you can’t say the former England caption isn’t versatile.

Now the Manchester United legend has inadvertently returned to another style from his youth after a DIY haircut gone wrong left him with a buzzcut.

In a humorous video shared to Instagram on Sunday, the footballing icon revealed that he’d accidentally given himself a huge bald spot after his clippers malfunctioned.

“What have you done?” his wife Victoria Beckham can be heard asking from behind the camera. “The thing of the clippers fell off my head,” David admitted.

“It’s not funny,” he added as the former Spice Girls star giggled at his misfortune.

“I mean, the hours of content that the kids have got from this,” she added. “It does not look good. I’m gonna always be honest with you. It looks terrible.”

“What have u done?!?” she added in an Instagram comment with a series of crying emojis. “Your little face!!! U were devastated.”

In an update shared to his story, David revealed that he’d managed to rectify the blunder by going with a short buzzcut reminiscent of his iconic style in the early 2000s.

“Update. It’s the best I could do with the situation,” he captioned his selfie, tagging his wife to ask if the finish was “still awful”.

It’s hardly the first time the couple have jokingly teased one another online. Earlier this year David poked fun at his wife’s disinterested reaction to a huge win for his team Inter Miami.

That came after the pair went viral numerous times over for the now-iconic line in Netflix’s Beckham documentary when David urged his other half to “be honest” about her supposed working class roots.
