To think David Beckham just looks like a standardly attractive man?

All these threads about the Beckham documentary and so many people going on about how 'easy on the eye' / beautiful he is.

I'm not saying he's unattractive but I don't get why he's so objectified?

He just looks like any average bloke to me.

Why the hysteria over his looks?

Not my cup of tea but objectively he has even features, nice hair and a decent body. I have never noticed any hysteria about him though.

Absolutely @Oldthyme. I have no issue with him whatsoever and think he and Victoria have worked really hard to get where they are. I don't know him at all.

I'm just baffled why he's so objectified for his looks when he's such an obviously talented sportsperson.

I find it really uncomfortable actually.

@midddd

I totally agree. He clearly has business and branding ability and has no doubt been helped along the way (I assume) by experts, but I’ve always thought of him as pretty standard for looks and IQ.

I guess it’s all in the eye of the beholder. Good luck to him.
