David Beckham shared a snapshot on his hugely popular Instagram account on Friday afternoon. In the snap, the 50-year-old was seen standing in front of his new stadium, which is part of his football club, Inter Miami CF’s future.
The father-of-four proudly stood in front of the site, where extensive building work was taking place. Dressed casually in a gunmetal grey T-shirt, DB was seen sporting a pair of sleek sunglasses and majorly short hair!
The former footballing legend has kept his new ‘do under wraps for a few weeks, only really sporting a cap in previous snaps that he’s posted online.
At Wimbledon earlier this month, the Boss model admittedly did sport a sleek buzz cut, which was pretty short, but his new mane has definitely had a few further inches taken off.
We think he looks as sharp as ever! Seeing the snap reminded us of David’s arguably most famous hairdo, the skinhead he sported twenty-five years ago, in the year 2000.

Calling it the “ultimate low-maintenance look”, Luke also highlighted the enduring popularity of the skinhead and ‘buzz cut’ even now. In recent years, celebrities like Zayn Malik, Kanye West, and Timothée Chalamet have embraced versions of the cut, proving its enduring status as a symbol of reinvention and understated power,” he explained.
Mum’s the word
It was David’s much-loved mother, Sandra, who gave him the haircut bug when he was a little boy.

My hair was short in the back and on the sides, and then I had an inch and a half on top that I would spike up with the gel.
