David Beckham has always been known for experimenting with his hairstyles throughout his football career—and even after retiring, his hair continues to make headlines.
His latest look has sparked mixed reactions online, with many debating whether they like it or not.
Recently, the former football star was spotted enjoying a lavish yacht trip with his wife, Victoria Beckham, and their family. The couple soaked up the sunshine aboard their $20.4 million vessel—Victoria stunning in a chic black swimsuit and wide-brimmed hat, while David kept it casual in small swim trunks.
But it wasn’t the outfits that drew the most attention—it was David’s hair. A noticeable thinning patch on his head sparked an avalanche of comments, with some fans even questioning if the man in the photos was really him. “It’s not him,” one user insisted, while another criticized, “Not even his body—what a joke.” Many zeroed in on the hair, asking, “What’s going on with it?”
Others chimed in with blunt remarks like, “So bad with all that money,” and “No hair—don’t like him like that!” However, not everyone was negative—some defended him, praising, “He looks amazing for his age,” and “He’s gorgeous and so is she ❤️.” One simply urged, “Let the guy live.”
Just a few months earlier in June, Beckham had been seen with his signature clean, combed-up style at several high-profile events, including a Pepsi event and the King’s Foundation Awards in London. But by July, his hair took an unexpected hit. In an Instagram video, he revealed that a slip-up during a self-haircut caused a bald patch after the clipper head fell off mid-shave.
In the clip, Victoria can be heard laughing and teasing him, warning that their children would have plenty of jokes to make at his expense. “It looks terrible,” she said honestly, while David captioned the post, “This happened yesterday whilst shaving my head…”
Fast forward to his recent yacht vacation, and it appears his hair still hasn’t fully grown back to its former style.
