David Beckham has revealed details of his beauty regime - including moisturising, eye cream and manicures.
The Real Madrid star came clean after being voted the world's Most Beautiful Sports Icon by America's People magazine.
He admitted to taking tips from wife Victoria, who is equally obsessed with looking good.
Beckham, 30 next month, said: "I've learned a lot. Being out in the cold and rain doesn't help your skin, so moisturiser in the morning is a big thing.
"And at night it's the eye cream. A manicure is probably my favourite pampering splurge."
Beckham is the only British sports star in the annual 50 Most Beautiful People poll.
He also denies his wife's infamous suggestion that he wears her G-strings.
"I wouldn't get them past my knees," he said.
Last year, Victoria Beckham revealed she smothers beauty creams on her husband at bedtime.
She said: "David is very much a new man, totally in touch with his feminine side. He loves having his face and nails done."
He also plucks his eyebrows and has spray-on tans, and famously wore pink nail polish at the christening of Elizabeth Hurley's son Damian.
Beckham is said to favour La Prairie eye cream, which costs more than £50 for 15ml.
The footballer also regularly changes his hairstyle and says his biggest regret was when a dye temporarily left it black.
The England captain also boasts that his wife says his best feature is his bottom. "She likes it because it's firm," he said.
However, Beckham told the magazine he doesn't like the look of his feet.
Legal proceedings launched by the Beckhams against their former nanny for breach of confidence are set to reach the High Court today.
The couple decided to take action following claims by Abbie Gibson in a newspaper that their six-year marriage was on the rocks. She is said to have received an estimated £300,000 for the story.
Who is David Beckham?
S-H-A-L-L-O-W worshipers of self.
Call me crazy, but I'd rather just get old than have to use all that girly goop.
Mrs. Exile is fond of pointing out my gray hairs (I'm 29). I've earned every damn one of them.
Hmm i also heard that rubbing millions of dollars on your skin helps. For an added affect, sleep on piles of money. Both work well.
Metro. But hey, if you got the money, the skills, the trophy wife....what the hell.
I don't think he is attractive at all. Too femmy for me.
The Athlete as Metrosexual.
Keep buying your dates drinks? Interviewer: "What type of woman do you like?"
Comedian: "I like'em like Irish Coffee, hot and full of booze."
this thread was SCREAMING for this pic!!!
Sheesh, he's way more girly than me.
MikeinIraq: As if I care what I soccer player thinks, cares about or does....
Want me to start slathering beauty creams on you?
***Is it just me or is that just a bit ghey?***
Sure stuck this woman that way. By the way, if "ghey" is a new spelling for "gay," I like it. They took our good word and turned it into something else. I think we should all use "ghey," and take "gay" back again.
I never got what women seem to have for greasy guys with long, oily hair, pampered skin, and some dead grass looking stuff on his face. I know their supposed to look rugged or whatever, but if you spend 1000 bucks a day or whatever on pamper cream, doesn't it negate the effect?
pillow biter.
"I wouldn't get them past my knees," he said.
Sounds like he's tried.
I know soccer many times gets a bad rap over here, mainly because it's seen as the sport of "soccer-moms" and snooty, effete, college white-boys, but in (especially) the UK, it was always a very blue-collar past-time, with some true tough as nails characters playing it back in the 60s and 70s (and before).
Beckham is a disgrace to those that paved the way for him to now make his millions. When the US plays England this summer, I hope Bocanegra or somebody breaks his freakin' leg!
never seen it, but i like it
He reminds me of Brit's hubby.
