That’s Beckham the man who loves his wife, Victoria Beckham, so much that he constantly posts cute little vignettes of their lives behind the scenes on Instagram, and somehow, impossibly, makes them seem normal away from the catwalks and fashion shows and make-up brands and you know, average Friday night family dinners at Nobu and hanging out with Alisters and casually living in what amounts to a Disney palace).
He’s not just proved himself a legend of football but he’s a family man, Beckham the guy who posts videos with the title, Captured by Mrs. Incredible Victoria Beckham”; the man who’s always been defiant about kissing his kids, about hugging them at the school gate, and you know they find him embarrassing but Beckham doesn’t get embarrassed; he can’t have you ever seen the Andrex puppy get embarrassed? No, and it is Beckham’s spiritual interspecies doppelganger. I mean: the man even posts about how much he loves his dogs. Of course, he does.
Beckham is, by now, probably quite used to being universally beloved I remember when I lived for a brief stint in Japan, and every single British man was greeted with delightful calls of Beckham-u” even if they bore more of a passing resemblance to... well, Bill Oddie. Revered, respected, shut-the-front-door handsome: Beckham’s star, it seemed, simply could not fizzle or falter. Until now.
