Gay blogs across the world are sure to eat up this bit of news and come back for seconds. BBC Radio recently interviewed the footballer (soccer player) star David Beckham. Perhaps just in time for his underwear ad campaign debut with Armani. We all know that sex sells and gays usually eagerly buy it especially when we feel we’re appreciated.
Becks talks about being a gay icon, his fashion sense and Christmas time at home.
David Beckham – First Look – Armani Ad Campaign
On Being a gay icon:
“I’m very honored to have the tag of gay icon…Maybe it’s things like [the fact] I like to look after myself, I like to look smart and presentable most of the time.”
Becks answered questions from listeners on BBC Radio and said he’s had a metrosexual fashion sense from an early age.
He said, “I always liked to look good, even when I was a little kid. I was given
the option when I was a page boy once of either wearing a suit or
wearing knickerbockers and long socks and ballet shoes – and I chose
the ballet shoes and knickerbockers. It was a little bit strange at the time and my dad gave me a bit of stick – but I was happy.”
Beckhams – Looking good no matter what they’re wearing.
More on Fashion:
Becks attributes a lot of of his look to wife Posh.
He said, “Without a doubt Victoria has a huge part in the way I look these days.
I think most couples agree you have to listen to your partner and
you have confidence in your partner to tell you whether you look good
or whether you don’t and to help you out with your fashion and dress
sense.
In America I am just in shorts, tee shirts and flip flops -
although if Victoria is listening, she’ll probably turn round and say
the truth, that I actually get my outfit ready the night before.”
Posh may influence some of his look but Becks’ got good taste all his own too as well. He said, “I’m very organized and controlled and need to go to bed at night knowing what I’m going to wear the next morning.”
We also know what he’s wearing the next day never includes a pair of previously worn underwear. Like Becks himself, he likes his garments crisp and clean.
That may not apply to Posh’s undergarments though. She stated on her TV show Victoria’s Secrets in January, 2000 that David likes to “borrow her knickers” on occasion. Becks caught some flack from that publicity by football pundit Mark Lawrenson, who didn’t like the idea of “Posh and David Beckham” saying her pop star status was bad for him.
David Beckham – Proud Papa!
On Christmas time at home:
The Beckham family is back in London for the Christmas holidays while Posh and the Spice Girls take a week long break from their tour.
Becks said, “We spend Christmas just like most families around the world. We get up early.
The boys woke up about 6.30am, which wasn’t too bad. They open their
presents. Me and Victoria always leave our presents to the end because
we want to watch the boys open theirs.
It’s all about the kids until in the evening, when you’re
just sat in the lounge watching Only Fools and Horses and eating all
the leftovers.
And that’s the way it should be. It’s very traditional in our house. We love it.”
He admitted his family has been feeling homesick and said, “One day we’ll back here of course. We miss London and England.”
