Don't Do This to Us, David!

by Erin Mayer

Bad news for fans of David Beckham's six pack (that's everyone, right?): you may soon have to kiss those sweet, sweet abs goodbye — and no, not literally. David Beckham might stop posing in his underwear due to "old age" or some weird myth propagated by evil warlords who want to deprive us of shirtless soccer players. Not cool, guys. Not cool at all.

In the cover interview for the A/W '14 issue of Another Man magazine, Beckham rang the death knell for his semi-nude modeling career, saying "I'm getting older now, I'm not sure too many people want to see me parading around in my underwear much longer." Uhhhhhhhh how about everyone ever wants to see you in your underwear, David? Like, how are you going to deprive the future generations of that glory?

BUT IT GETS WORSE. "My body is still okay but it’s only a matter of time before people are like, “Really? Again?” I’m 39 years old, I’ve got four kids, I’m not sure people are comfortable with that any more." Everyone is comfortable with it, David, I promise. Except maybe Michelle Dugger but honestly she is the enemy of all things beautiful and fun in this world.

Let's take a quick gander at David Beckham's "okay" body for a sec, shall we?

Oh hey there, you're looking OKAY today, Mr. Beckham. You sure you don't want to do a few more crunches before your next H&M photo shoot?

Ugh, please put away that OKAY torso before you make me ill, old man.

In all seriousness, David Beckham has every right to stop posing half naked whenever he wants. I'm not saying I'll be happy about it, but we have to respect his decision. Even if his definition of the word "okay" is slightly off.
