Is even 1 inch of that pic real?
The chest and stomach are so obviously airbrushed it looks like a painting as vs a pic

That man is just so frickin' beautiful. I know that the picture is probably touched up, but he's gorgeous in every picture I've ever seen of him. Almost makes me want to follow soccer and/or football. ;)

I don't understand all the hubbub about airbrushing or Photoshopping. The women on magazine covers have been doing for years. Why bitch about whether it's real or not. Just sit back and enjoy the view. If it's not your cup of tea, then turn the page.

his crotch, my face...
ah i'm finally won over... the power of advertising and perhaps (as jimmyboyo points out) the power of the airbrush...

Black underwear is no fun.

I understand that all major ads are photoshopped, but damn they went over-board on his chest and abs.
While he is in great shape, his pecs are nowhere near that big and his abs are not that cut.

But the child bearing hips and thunder thighs are definitely his.

"Regardez-moi dans les yeux"
How can I look him in the eyes when he dresses like that?

You might as well look at comic books for a thrill then.
The airbrushing of females doesn't excuse it. It sucks as well

Being a photographer, I can see they are using directional top-light to accentuate his abs, then the photoshop artist tweaks them to make them appear to bulge out more. Look up Photoshop Cosmetic Surgery on amazon.com
They did the same with Gerard Butler in 300. In behind the scenes video, you can see that his abs are accentuated with makeup, then in post they made them even bigger. I guess steroids could not do it all.

I think he has a terrific face. But notice how both photos hide his skinny arms?

Guess Becks decided that it was only a one-sock date.

David Beckham... jump ON it!

As a male model getting a job with Giorgio Armani would be tops. He is so difficult that if he picks you, you are known around the world as a supermodel. If he picked David, he picked him for a reason. He is a star of another level here in Europe and people really love him. He is soccer to us and soccer is our world. So, all soccer players here are treated in the same manner. It is upsetting to here people talk badly about him, he is a very nice guy and so is his wife.
