DAVID Beckham was left with a huge BALD patch after suffering a DIY haircut blunder – with Victoria even admitting “it looks terrible”.
The former England captain, 50, had been attempting to recreate his iconic buzz cut at home when the head of his clippers fell off mid-shave, leaving a glaring bald spot on top of his head.

David had already trimmed most of his hair down to stubble, meaning there was little he could do to hide the exposed patch of skin.
His wife Victoria shared a video of the aftermath on Instagram, reacting blunty while showing the uneven crop.
She told him: “It does not look good. I’m going to always be honest with you. It looks terrible.”
The style was a throwback to the skinhead look Beckham famously debuted during a Premier League match against Leicester City in 2000.
He’s returned to it several times over the years, and recently named it his favourite look during an interview with close friend Gary Neville on The Overlap podcast.
He said: “I always like the skinhead. I always loved the skinhead, because it was easy and you didn’t have to do anything with it.”
Away from the jokes and laughter, David and Victoria have been left in agony over their explosive family feud.
The Beckham brothers are in the “Gen Z version of World War Three” after Romeo and Cruz blocked Brooklyn on social media.
The younger boys are accused of turning their backs on Brooklyn for good, and sending the family deeper into crisis.
Model Brooklyn, 26, and wife Nicola, 30, are said to be “blindsided” after learning of the snub.
A source said: “Blocking or unfollowing someone on Instagram is like the Gen Z version of World War Three. It’s a sad new low.
“But the truth is, Brooklyn has cut out his parents David and Victoria from his life and it’s the same with Romeo and Cruz.
“Even when the family have reached out to Brooklyn they have been ignored.
“He’s not had contact for months and it feels clear to them that he doesn’t want to make amends.”
The feud, which The Sun understands started over money, has been bubbling for several months.
Yesterday it was initially reported that Brooklyn and Nicola had unfollowed Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20.
But those close to Brooklyn said this was not true.
A friend said: “Brooklyn had no idea until he read about it online. It’s possible Romeo and Cruz blocked them, which would make it appear as him no longer following the brothers
“He and Nicola certainly didn’t unfollow them or block them — they’re as confused as anyone else.
“The first they heard about it was when it was being reported on.”
The Beckham Family Feud
- April 2022: Brooklyn marries Nicola Peltz.
- Wedding Dress Controversy: Rumours begin circulating that there’s tension between Nicola and Victoria Beckham after Nicola chooses not to wear a Victoria Beckham-designed wedding gown. Nicola later clarifies in August 2022 (and again in March 2023) that Victoria’s atelier couldn’t make the dress in time, but reports in May 2025 suggest Victoria actually changed her mind about making the dress.
- Post-Wedding (2022 onwards): Minimal interaction between Nicola and Victoria on social media, and noticeable absence of Nicola at key Beckham family events.
- Alleged Wedding “Hijack”: In May 2025, a source claimed Victoria “ruined” part of the wedding by allegedly hijacking a dance with Marc Anthony, which was meant for Brooklyn and Nicola. Nicola reportedly ran from the room crying.
- March 2025: A resurfaced TikTok of Romeo and Cruz mimicking a “baby voice” (which fans associate with Nicola) sparks speculation of sibling shade.
- April 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola are reportedly absent from Victoria Beckham’s 51st birthday celebrations in Miami and her Paris Fashion Week show.
- May 2025: David Beckham’s 50th Birthday Snub: Brooklyn and Nicola are notably absent from David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations in London, despite being invited. Reports suggest their absence was due to Brooklyn not wanting to be in the same room as Kim Turnbull, the girlfriend of Romeo who had previously been reported to have been dating Brooklyn, who David allegedly opted to have at the party over Nicola.
- Rumours emerge of a falling out between Brooklyn and his younger brother Romeo, reportedly due to Romeo’s new girlfriend, DJ Kim Turnbull, who allegedly had a past connection with Brooklyn.
- Reports surface that the Beckham parents are “hurt and disappointed” that Brooklyn is “playing no part in family life.” Sources claim that tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and his parents are “definitely not beyond repair.”
- June 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola reportedly enlist a “crisis team” similar to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for “reputation management” due to the growing media scrutiny.
- Cruz Beckham posts cryptic lyrics on Instagram that some interpret as a swipe at Brooklyn.
- July 2025: Reports indicate David and Victoria are “desperate” to reconcile with Brooklyn. Brooklyn publicly wishes his sister Harper a happy 14th birthday on Instagram, tagging Nicola, which is seen as a potential “olive branch” and a rare public message to his family amid the rumored rift.
- Brooklyn UNFOLLOWS his brothers Romeo and Cruz just 24 hours after his birthday message to Harper. Nicola quickly follows suit and also ditches the Beckham bros from her Instagram following. Romeo and Cruz are now also no longer following Brooklyn.
Shortly after Brooklyn learned of his brothers’ snub, Romeo reposted Justin Bieber’s new song Walking Away on his Instagram stories with the caption: “Yup.”

A day earlier Brooklyn posted a photo of him, Nicola and sister Harper for the latter’s 14th birthday.
Those close to Brooklyn denied this was partly meant as an olive branch to his parents. One friend said: “There is too much water under the bridge.”
Brooklyn had publicly snubbed Victoria on Mother’s Day this March, and failed to attend any of David’s 50th birthday celebrations in May.
Brooklyn’s pal insisted: “Just because he and Nicola love Harper and want to show their affection, it doesn’t mean they’re trying to make amends with the family.”
A separate source said: “Brooklyn was always very close to Romeo and Cruz. They’d stay in touch even as they grew up and started following different career paths and travelling.
“It has been very difficult for David and Victoria to watch their sons grow apart as family means everything to them.”
