David Beckham had a bit of a hair disaster at the weekend, with the star accidentally giving himself a bald spot after the head fell off his clippers partway through a trim.

To make matters worse, David’s wife, Victoria Beckham, didn’t exactly sugarcoat how bad his new look was, with the former Spice Girl unable to hide her true feelings… And luckily for us, Victoria went so far as to film the immediate aftermath of David’s mishap in a video that was later posted to his Instagram account.

In the short clip, David is hiding the bald patch with one hand while looking genuinely upset. Victoria asks him: “What have you done?”
“The thing of the clippers fell off my clipper,” the British soccer legend sighs.

“You were trying to give yourself a haircut, and what have you done?” Victoria asks again, and at this point, David reluctantly removes his hand to reveal what had happened.
As Victoria starts to laugh, David quickly covers the patch again and insists: “It’s not funny!”
“Let me see, let me see,” Victoria tells him, before joking: “I mean, the hours of content the kids have got from this…”

“The clipper head fell off,” visibly sad David repeats, and Victoria matter-of-factly replies: “It does not look good. I’m going to always be honest with you, it looks terrible.”
Posting the video to his 88 million followers, David wrote: “ITS NOT FUNNY 🤨 So this happened yesterday whilst shaving my head and as you can hear my wife didn’t find it funny at all 🙄 @victoriabeckham you don’t always need to BE THAT HONEST – I quote ‘It looks awful’ 🤬 And yes kids have content @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven 🤨”
Needless to say, his followers were quick to comment, including Victoria, who wrote: “What have u done?!? 😂😂 your little face!!! U were devastated 😂😂😂”
“Oh my days 😂,” their son Romeo added, while actor Terry Crews joked: “Join the bald club👏👏👏🔥”
Thankfully for David, his mom, Sandra Beckham, had his back, commenting on the post: “You still look handsome ❤️”
The star later took to his Instagram story to reveal that he’d reluctantly shaved the rest of his head to match the bald patch, writing: “Update: it’s the best I could do with the situation.” He then cheekily tagged his wife and asked: “still awful??”
Luckily, the new look worked for Victoria, who reposted the story to her own account and added: “I’m into it!!!!”
