The former England midfielder often experiments with his image. David changes his hairstyle almost every year. The football player wore a mohawk, grew his hair and gathered it in a ponytail, lightened the strands and shaved them completely. One of David’s most famous hairstyles was the French braids he wore in 2003. It is in this image that the footballer is captured in iconic photos with politician Nelson Mandela.
Behkam admitted that his wife’s friends advised him to change his image while on holiday in France. “We were there with the family and one of Victoria’s friends who works as a hairdresser. I asked if she could do something with my hair. She asked, “Do you want braids?” I said, “Yes. I don’t know what it is, but yes.” They were painful to make, but I loved them,” said David.
Now the father of many children regrets that he wore such a hairstyle. The 48-year-old believes that in the modern world, he would most likely be accused of cultural appropriation, given the way he came to South Africa. A few years ago, the singer Adele fell into a scandal and found herself in a similar position.
“People ask if I regret my hair. While I don’t regret any of them, I do regret the braids a little. I had them knitted on Saturday and flew to South Africa with the England team on Monday. I met the great Nelson Mandela. And in the picture I have of Nelson Mandela, I’m holding his hand with his braids braided. That’s my only regret,” The Sun quoted David as saying.
The Beckhams celebrated their wedding anniversary yesterday. David admitted that his wife has become a close person to him over so many years of family life.
