David Beckham has worked his way through a plethora of hairstyles during his time in the public eye.

The star offered the camera a serious pose as he gazed into the camera and snapped a selfie of his new look, reminiscent of his 2000s Manchester United days.
Captioning the picture, he penned: ‘Nothing much changes, get bored of my hair, chop it off’, in a move that comes after he gave an interview about his hairstyles and admitted he is most embarrassed by his 2003 cornrows.

The former footballer revealed the only one he regrets – his cornrows which he wore ahead of a meeting with Nelson Mandela in 2003.
The sportsman decided to get them done while on holiday in France but regretted his decision when he met the late South African politician, admitting it would today be described as ‘cultural appropriation’.
According to The Sun, he explained: ‘We were there with family and one of Victoria’s friends who is a hairdresser.
‘I asked if she could do something with my hair and she said, “Do you want cornrows?” and I said, “Yeah. I don’t know what they are. But yeah”.
‘It was painful having them done but I liked them.
‘People ask if I have any regrets about my hairstyles and while I don’t regret any of them, I do sort of regret the cornrows.
