Beckham – 109 Caps and Still Stripping

By: Wanda Touchim | March 30th, 2009

David Beckham in his Armani undiesDavid Beckham is one of those players that people either love or love to hate (or obsess over). There is no denying, he is beautiful – and he absolutely knows it. I thought, as a special tribute given his new record, we could take a little looksee at what all the fuss is about.

First of all, just about the only thing David Beckham has done more that play for England is have his picture taken in some state of undress. There are literally hundreds of pictures of the man’s chest (go ahead, google it), and his …erm… package has been thoroughly investigated. Really, there is not all that much left to say… but Becks keeps taking it off for the cameras so how can I resist?

Dont hate him because he is beautiful

Over the years, he has sported many a look. From beatific innocence:

See, look how shy he is. He can’t even look at the camera. In fact, this could be his first time – or at least that is what the photographer would like us to think.

To Eurotrash gigolo:

Becks in San Tropez looking... wet
Doesn’t this just scream cougar bait?

To…. well… whatever the heck this is supposed to be:

Becks as... you tell me!
Words fail me.

But what I find the most astonishing is that, even at the ripe old age of 33 (he will be 34 in May) and in the dead of winter, Golden Balls is still taking it off for the cameras.

Here he is last Sunday (March 22) after the Napoli game:

This game ended 0-0 but the fans still got a thrill.

And the week before that in Siena:

Becks dopo siena - still shirtless
Milan won this game so I guess this is celebratory nudity.

And even in February, in Bremen, Germany, he still manages to have his picture taken while stripped to the waist:

Beckham braves the German winter without even a shirt to keep him warm.

The sad thing is, until it warms up a bit, this is all we have. I have been keeping a close eye on the photo outlets looking for shirtless pictures of football players (research), and everyone is wearing undershirts. The only game in town is Becks… And he is starting to look pretty good.

    Isn’t it heartbreaking that so many players wear base-layers these days!!!? The post game shirt swaps used to be so much more fun (to say nothing of the joy and freedom of unfettered, ahem, thighs beneath a pair of kit shorts!!). Now its just Becks and a few–actually quite a few outside of England–other hold outs who wear their kits as nature intended…sigh, kids!

    His tattoos are so ugly they spoil all the fun.

    He just does nothing for me — I feel like I should turn in my Ogler card, or something.

    Agreed Lotte, there’s no fun staring at his unabashed nudity. Perhaps his love of exhibitionism has taken a little of the fun out of it? (Though is it also strange that the Eurotrash look is my favourite of his?)

    I’m partial to “beatific innocence” myself.

    I would just like to know that the hell the photographer in the “lick your shoulder like it’s a lollipop” photo was thinking. That this was art?

    Laurie, this particular photo is just clusterfuck of silly ideas. What about pulling at his leopard underwear?

    And that wasn’t even the worst one of the series. At first, all I could think of was “strung out rent boy” but I thought it was a little too mean.

    More GQ pictures are here:

    So, do a lot of gay guys read GQ or something?

    I second that, Laurie.
    The most hilarious thing for me was the fact that I own such jeans shorts as those of Beckham.
