David Beckham’s hair is making headlines once again, but not in the trend-setting way it once did. On July 20, the English former soccer (ahem, football) star posted a video to his Instagram of a DIY mishap that left the 50-year-old with a front-and-center triangular bald spot. The mistake was anything but subtle, with a seemingly embarrassed David Beckham caught trying to shield it from his wife, Victoria Beckham, as she captured the moment on video. The bald spot was the result of the clipper head falling off whilst he was shaving his head, and Victoria can be heard in the background, barely holding back laughter, saying, “I’m going to always be honest with you: it looks terrible.” Beckham demonstrated his range in hairstyles over the years with his mohawks, buzzcuts, and ponytails, but this new hairdo takes the cake. The English star firmly captioned the post, “IT’S NOT FUNNY”—a position his family deeply disagreed with. His 22-year-old son, Romeo, chimed in with a teasing, “Oh my days 😂,” while Victoria Beckham piled on with, “What have u done?!? 😂😂 your little face!!! U were devastated 😂😂😂.” With any luck, the family’s group chat will run out of jokes by the time his hair grows back.
