As if you needed another reason to like David Beckham, here’s what he just told a British celebrity magazine about his racy 2002 photo shoot:
“I had no problem posing for Attitude then, and I would have no problem now,” says David, 38.
“I know that some people thought it was controversial, but I was just being myself…”
Okay, good to know! We are happy to facilitate such an arrangement.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Beckham went on that he wasn’t thinking about politics or perceptions — it just felt right. Yes, it felt right to us, too. In fact we’re feeling pretty right right now. So right we may need to take a cold shower.
For now, it doesn’t seems as though there are any specific plans for him strip down for another gay magazine. He’s just letting the world know that he’s ready for it. Hopefully next time, it’s for Inches.
And while we wait, here are some of our favorite Beckham shots from the archives. Remember when he used to be famous for doing sports?
Enjoy!

He looked so much better without the tattoos.

Yeah, I’ll be so glad when the tattoo fad is over. What a waste of beautiful skin!

@Merv: Won’t we all….
1 one is fine. But that’s just overkill.

I love his body and I actually think the tattoos suit him.
LandStander
@kayakriver: I’m with you on that one! I think he is very sexy, despite all the tattoo haters on queerty (there are a surprising number of them too…)

I do not understand this fascination with ink. The body is so beautiful – why spoil it with all that ink? Hideous!
there are those that like it and well, if that’s your thing, so be it. Personally, I HATE it.
marc sfe
@hyhybt: Agreed!

@LandStander: I son’t hate tattoos. It’s just that most of the time, no matter how nice the tattoo itself may be, the person would look better without it. Especially when they’re huge or numerous.

Not one comment on the bottom most picture. Look at blondie’s line of sight,where he’s pointing at, and the look of OMG as he stares into the bulging basket of the player across from him. Beckham’s snarling at him all like, “He’s mine you hussy, stay away!”

Too bad, with that incredible face and body, he decided to mutilate his skin with ink. He’s disgusting.
Teleny
I’ve always thought his face beautiful. His body has some weird proportions. The ink looks out of place on him.

There are so many drop dead gorgeous gay men, I just don’t know why these breeders get our attention or affection…After learning about Ben Cohen and his phoney StandUp Foundation…I’m on the wagon.

I liked Beckham’s body better when he modeled for Armani.
He lost weight and his body is not as defined. And way too many tatoos.

@Paul F: oh my…you have imagination!

@AuntieChrist: I haven’t heard that before; would you mind elaborating about this “phoney StandUp Foundation?”
AuntieChrist
@hyhybt: Apparently about 80-85% of the donations calendar sales ect… end up in peoples pockets administration costs so they say…15-20 percent goes to grants to keep the foundation tax exempt…So Cohen retires from sports and uses his looks and dazzling smile to make money…It’s all perfectly legal but I do believe that there is a question of ethics here.

@AuntieChrist: Thanks.

Cut that head off and replace it with a different one then I’m good

Mr.Beckham is a fucking fox and I personally think he’s sexy with the tattoos. And how the hell can getting a tattoo is a faze, it’s not like you can peel them off. Sometimes getting a tattoo could have meaning and sometimes you get cuz you think it’s cool. I love tattoo. I like seeing men with them. Judge models by the features not what they have on them, remember beauties only skin deep.
