Former football star David Beckham’s attempt at giving himself a haircut went terribly wrong when the head of his clippers fell off, leaving him with an obvious bald patch. The incident, which happened on July 19, was captured on video by his wife Victoria Beckham and shared on her Instagram account.
According to People, in the video, a shirtless and embarrassed David can be seen trying to hide the results of his failed DIY haircut with his hand. When Victoria asked him to show what had happened, he revealed a noticeable bald spot on his head, causing his wife to burst into laughter.
Victoria couldn’t contain her amusement at the situation, saying, “I mean, the hours of content that the kids have got from this.” Despite David insisting it wasn’t funny, Victoria continued to tease him about the mishap, telling him honestly that “it looks terrible.”

The following day, David tried to remedy the situation by cutting his hair much shorter. He shared an update on his Instagram Stories showing himself sitting outside with his newly shortened hair, asking Victoria if it still looked “awful.”

This hair-cutting incident is just one of many playful moments the couple has shared on social media recently. Last month, they posted another amusing video where David harvested a disappointingly small and oddly shaped carrot from his vegetable garden, which also had Victoria laughing at the results.
The Beckhams, who recently celebrated their 26th wedding anniversary on July 4, often share glimpses of their light-hearted relationship on social media – something that fits with David’s history of embarrassing moments. Victoria marked the occasion by posting a throwback photo of them kissing in a swimming pool, expressing pride in their family and life together.
David also shared his own anniversary message, thanking Victoria for their beautiful children and the life they’ve built together. This latest mishap joins a long list of quirky Beckham moments that have entertained fans over the years.
