David Beckham has treated fans to a new photo of his fresh buzz cut, after debuting the dramatic hair makeover last week.

The renowned footballer took to his Instagram Stories on Thursday to share a snap of his shaved head as he vacations with family in Italy, much to the delight of his 82m followers. He tagged wife Victoria Beckham in the summery update to ask if she approves, before joking, “A little late if not.”

In another photo, a shirtless David smiles at the camera as he stretches across his yacht for a spot of sunbathing. The 48-year-old, who recently wished the Lionesses luck ahead of their World Cup match against Spain, is dressed in nothing but a pair of shades and green Adidas shorts as he soaks up the UV rays.

He and Victoria, 49, have been joined on the luxury trip by their two younger children, Cruz, 18, and 12-year-old Harper.

David also shared a photo of him and Cruz, who is dating Tana Holding, leaning over the edge of their extravagant cruiser.

David’s buzzcut has given fans serious flashbacks to his Manchester United days, when he first embraced the low-maintenance do. He has also sported a number of other hairstyles in the past, including long tresses, a mohawk, and even a combover.

Out of all of his salon looks throughout the years, it’s his cornrows that have arguably received the most attention. David famously wore the tight braids to meet South African president Nelson Mandela back in 2003 – a decision he’s not sure he’d repeat today.

“We were there with family and one of Victoria’s friends who is a hairdresser,” he recalled in a recent interview with the Sun. “I asked if she could do something with my hair and she said, “Do you want cornrows?” and I said, “Yeah. I don’t know what they are. But yeah”. It was painful having them done but I liked them.”

“People ask if I have any regrets about my hairstyles and while I don’t regret any of them, I do sort of regret the cornrows,” he admitted.
