Tommy Hilfiger says no one can look as sexy in a pair of underwear as David Beckham.

We say he looks a million bucks even otherwise.

Heck we say he's perfect!


David Beckham may have retired from soccer last year but he's far from being out of the running.

Take a look at his latest campaign for H&M and you'll know!

Designer Tommy Hilfiger even named him the best underwear model.

But there is a lot more to the 38-year-old former soccer star.

Hell we think he's probably as perfect as they come!

Here's why:

The suit was basically invented for him!

There are probably all of ten men in this world that carry off the suit. His name leads the rest.

Those abs! Whew!

And even though he cleans up like few other men we know, every once in a while, David Beckham doesn't mind dressing down and giving us an eyeful of that heavenly body underneath those perfectly tailored clothes.

And those tattoos!

And every time he does that, we also get a glimpse of the numerous tattoos he sports, including one in Devnagri which spells out that he's taken.

How many men you know have statues of them in undies?

They love him so much in those undies that H&M even made a statue of him in a pair!

He doesn't just insist on making undies and suits look good.

Even beanie caps got their moment under the high fashion sun when he wore them here!

His family is as stylish

Talking of family, he is the head of inarguably the. most. fashionable. family. in this world.

He doesn't mind showing off his soft side

He is very much a family man. (And unlike so, so many men we know, doesn't shy away from showing it.)

Or weeping for that matter

Hell, he even cries like a baby and isn't ashamed of it.

He is aware of his social responsibilities

When he isn't making news being a fashion icon, he is making headlines for reaching out to the less fortunate ones.

And that's why even the PM listens to him

Truth is he stopped being just another soccer star long long ago.

That's probably just one of the many reasons why even the Prime Minister of Britain cares about what he says.

No one can bend it like Beckham

He is probably the only living soul who can shoot a ball in a pair of Oxford shoes, a bespoke tailored suit and score a goal.

 

He is gracious

He isn't just brilliant with his own kids but also those of others!

(That grumpy little fellow isn't going to believe his luck when he sees this photograph 10 year later)
