How do we love thee, David Beckham? Let us count the ways...
After much consideration (which may or may not have included a good hour or starting at pictures of him in his pants), we’ve come to the conclusion that David Beckham is truly a perfect specimen of a man.
And we have good reason for thinking this. Nine of them, actually…
1. He knows that a cup of tea makes everything better
Just when you thought David Beckham couldn’t get any more perfect, he goes and does something like THIS.
The former footballer, proud dad and all-round beautiful man proved he’s a good samaritan this week when he surprised a paramedic and their elderly patient with a cup of tea served by his own fair hand.

Catherine Maynard was treating a pensioner who’d suffered a fall on the cold streets of Central London street on Monday (1 February) when Becks appeared with a round of hot drinks (we like to imagine there was also a ray of light shining on him from heaven at the time).
Catherine told reporters: ‘All of a sudden, I looked up and saw someone who looked like David Beckham walking past us. He said hello and got in his car. I said to the man I was treating, ‘I think that was David Beckham’.
‘Ten minutes later, he came back with a cup of coffee for me and a tea for the patient.’
‘We were both very amused, and flattered. It was awful cycling around in the cold and I couldn’t believe it when he came back with some hot drinks – I was so chuffed.’
What. A. Guy.
2. His family are his world
It only takes a quick glance at his Instagram feed to realise that David is allll about family. From proud-dad moments featuring children Brooklyn, 14, Romeo, 13, Cruz, 10 and 4 year old Harper to lovey-dovey posts about wife Victoria, home is clearly where David’s heart is.
‘In my career there’s many things I’ve won, and many things I’ve achieved,’ he once said. ‘But my greatest achievement is my family.’
Excuse us a moment, there’s something in our eye…
3. He’s not afraid to show his emotions
When Becks bowed out of his professional footy career for good, it was a super emotional moment. In his final moments on the pitch at French club Paris Saint Germaine, the star – who clocked up 27 trophies and 115 international appearances in his 20 year career – was visibly overwhelmed by the occasion, culminating in a wave of emotional tears as he left the pitch for the very last time. OH DAVID.
4. Being a good role model is his priority
When boxer Tyson Fury caused, well, fury over comments he made that were deemed to be misogynistic and homophobic, Saint David had some wise words of advice.
‘In the sporting world, when you’ve been successful, it’s a big thing, but it’s more important to be a good role model,’ he explained.
‘When you’re at the top, when you’re at the highest point in your sport, being a role model is even more important than anything else.’
Well said, Dave.
5. He uses his fame for the greater good
Becks has lent his name to numerous charities throughout his career, most notably UNICEF; he’s currently a Goodwill Ambassador for the children’s charity, and left us with a lump in our throat when he made an emotional speech about the suffering of children last year.
‘It breaks my heart to see the struggles that children and young people across the world face every day,’ he said.
Cue wobbly lips all round – including his.
6. This. Just THIS
7. He’s totally in love with his pup
Olive Beckham is arguably the cutest member of the famous family, and Becks clearly adores her, often sharing snaps of the chocolate brown cocker spaniel on his Instagram feed. And, as we all know, the only thing hotter than a gorgeous man is a gorgeous man with a dog. FACT.
8. He makes a point of giving back
When you’re already worth millions (as a family, the Beckhams are reportedly worth £508m), who needs an extra £170,000 a week? Not David, who generously gave his ENTIRE salary from his year at Paris Saint-Germain to local children’s charities – a whopping £3.4m, according to reports.
9. That goal
What more do you need to prove that this man was sent from the heavens than this bit of footballing wizardry?
