For a second I thought the pictures were a before and after, and was like "well they did a good job at least"

Then I realized 💀

[-] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 44 points 1 year ago

The only thing he didn't try, weight loss.

[-] Tar_alcaran@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Because that one takes effort

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 44 points 1 year ago

I can’t tell who is David Beckham, mostly because I don’t know who that is.

[-] Steeve@lemmy.ca 26 points 1 year ago

He's a husband of one of the Spice Girls

[-] Trippin@feddit.nl 4 points 1 year ago

Doesn't that guy run some kind of energy drink ad campaign?

[-] Deceptichum@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I’m not a sports person but even I know he was one of the biggest soccer players and most famous athletes in the world.

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I don't really care for football either, but the name rings a bell. Isn't he the guy who had the really funny and innacurate bronze statue made in his questionable honour?

[-] herrvogel@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

You're not wrong btw. Ronaldo and Beckham both had shitty bronze statues done. But Beckham's was a prank played on him, inspired by Ronaldo's statue.

[-] BastianAI@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

No, that's Ronaldo. Around 20 years ago Beckham was one of the most famous people in the world

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, there's literally a movie about worshipping his athletic prowess.

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Aah. Well see then I know at least three footballers - Zlatan Ibrahimovic was really big here in Sweden.

If his heyday was 20 years ago it's no wonder I don't know much about him. I was like 9, and lived out in the middle of nowhere. I had no friends, so I spent my days reading books and plonking away in QBASIC on my old Windows 98 machine. There was a lot of Populous 3, RollerCoaster Tycoon, and The Sims involved as well.

[-] BastianAI@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Then we're of the same age. On my 9th birthday all the boys had "the beckham haircut". It makes sense that you managed to not know of him if you lived in the middle of nowhere, I can promise you that if you had lived in a city you wouldn't have had a chance of not knowing who he is.

[-] Hikermick@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

I don't know either but common sense tells me the guy on the left ain't him

[-] Z3k3@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think you just described me from every post in celebs

Edit stupid autocorrect and tired

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm like this too. Like I know a few whose works I really enjoy (like Bette Midler), and then I know the names of others but I couldn't point them out in a crowd. I've heard the name David Beckham before, and I know he's some football guy, but I don't really know more than that.

[-] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

He's the guy who bends it.

[-] troybot@midwest.social 16 points 1 year ago

I am Beckham. Please insert girder.

[-] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 38 points 1 year ago

What did he spend 20k on? The haircut?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

It certainly wasn't a personal trainer.

[-] elxeno@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago
[-] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

Pies do not make you look like David Beckham.

[-] dreadedsemi@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago
[-] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

David ~~Beck~~Ham

He also kinda looks like he got the TPUSA meme treatment where they shop the face to be too small for the head

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Only some of them. Dude genuinely has a tiny face.

[-] Swim@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago

Management would like you to tell the difference between between these 2 photos

[-] Swim@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

That's right !

[-] doublejay1999@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

another 90 grand should do it. Less than that on the back streets of Sao Paulo.

[-] angrymouse@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

São Paulo? I though Instabul and Praga were the points.

[-] doublejay1999@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago
[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I know a guy too. He'll get your engine clean as a whistle in thirty minutes or your pizza's free. Best mechanic I ever had. I think he mows lawns now.

[-] NotSpez@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

wish dot com Beckham

[-] Art3sian@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

If you think he looks like a numpty, wait unit you hear him. Dude is lost in space.

[-] Astroturfed@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

He's even fatter than I thought. He could get a lot closer and actually save money by eating less food....

[-] aeternum@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

yeah, but like maybe he's at his set point /s

[-] aeternum@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

holy shit, it's uncanny!

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 0 points 1 year ago

Yes the whiny Essex accent is so goddamn sexy.

[-] forkbomb@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Looks just like him tho

[-] TrenchcoatFullofBats@belfry.rip 3 points 1 year ago

David Beckhampies

[-] Vampiric_Luma@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Reminds me of Oli, the BTS dude who looks nothing like Jimin

[-] PrettyBlackDress@lemdit.com 1 points 1 year ago

He looks like he paid to have his face shrunk

[-] massive_bereavement@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago

I think I can recognize him from Elder scrolls...

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago
[-] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

He'd be a perfect cosplayer, oh my god that's hilarious. lol
