David Beckham attempts to fix unmissable bald patch on his head after DIY buzz-cut goes horribly wrong
attempted to fix his bald patch on his head after doing his own DIY buzz-cut on Sunday. The football legend, 50, who is famous for changing up his hairstyles, was visibly fuming after almost scalping himself while using a pair of clippers to cut his own hair. David decided to ditch his conventional short-beck-and-sides in favour of the shaved look he famously debuted at the height of his footballing glory in 2000. And as he chopped his own locks, the head fell from his clippers mid-shave - leaving him with a glaring bald patch on the top of his head. Now, David has shared a new selfie showing off an even shorter buzz cut as he tried to cover up the blunder. He wrote: 'UPDATE The best I can do with the situation. @victoriabeckham still awful???' Earlier in the day, the father-of-four was given little sympathy from wife Victoria, who appeared to revel in her husband's misfortune by sharing a video of his uneven buzz-cut with Instagram followers. 'It does not look good,' she admits as a crestfallen Beckham reluctantly shows her the bald patch. 'I'm going to always be honest with you - it looks terrible.' However after David showed off his new look, Victoria added: 'I'm into it!!!' Beckham has opted for the buzz-cut on numerous occasions since debuting the look during a Premier League match against Leicester City more than 20-years ago. During a recent interview with former teammate and best friend Gary Neville for the Overlap podcast, the retired footballer even admitted it was his favourite hairstyle. 'I always like the skinhead,' he said. 'I always loved the skinhead, because it was easy and you didn't have to do anything with it.' Ahead of his milestone 50th birthday in May, Beckham launched a new fundraising appeal for UNICEF's work to support vulnerable children. The former footballer has worked with UNICEF for 20 years as a Goodwill Ambassador – a role that has seen him raise awareness on issues such as education, health, immunization, and protection. The new appeal will help to improve the lives of girls and adolescent girls globally who are impacted by child marriage, female genital mutilation, violence and abuse. In a video posted to his Instagram as the appeal launched, Beckham said: 'We are witnessing a global funding crisis where the most vulnerable children are suffering the most and urgently need our help. Please support my birthday fundraiser. 'Next month, I turn 50. It's a major milestone that has made me think about the opportunities I've had and the experiences that have shaped me. In a video posted to his Instagram as the appeal launched, Beckham said: 'We are witnessing a global funding crisis where the most vulnerable children are suffering the most and urgently need our help. Please support my birthday fundraiser. 'As I look back, some of the moments that have had the most impact on me have come through my work with @UNICEF. As a father of four amazing children, I know how lucky my family is to be safe and have access to education and healthcare. 'I've met children living in the toughest situations all over the world and I've seen what can happen when they are given the support they need to take control of their lives. 'Today, 25 years since my first visit to a women's centre in Thailand, the world is a very difficult place for children - especially girls. 'That's why I'm launching a fundraising appeal for my birthday. I want the children who need us to believe that their voice will be heard. 'So if you, like me, believe that every child should have the chance to achieve their full potential, please click the link in my bio to donate. Whatever you can give will make a difference to children's lives. 'Every child deserves the chance to dream. Together, we can help to make those dreams a reality. Thank you @UNICEF. #ForEveryChild.'

David Beckham is left with an unmissable bald patch on his head after DIY buzz-cut goes horribly wrong - and even Victoria admits it 'looks terrible'
His hairstyles are arguably as famous as his free kicks, but David Beckham 's latest generated attention for all the wrong reasons on Saturday. The former Manchester United and England midfielder was visibly fuming after almost scalping himself while attempting a DIY buzz-cut with a pair of clippers. Beckham, 50, had attempted to ditch the conventional short-beck-and-sides in favour of the shaved look he famously debuted at the height of his footballing glory in 2000. But the former footballer came a cropper after the head fell from his clippers mid-shave - leaving him with a glaring bald patch on the top of his head. Having already shaved much of his hair to a fine stubble, the error left Beckham with few options, and nothing to conceal the exposed patch of skin. And he was given little sympathy from wife Victoria, who later shared a video of her husband's uneven buzz-cut with Instagram followers. 'It does not look good,' she admits as a crestfallen Beckham reluctantly shows her the bald patch. 'I'm going to always be honest with you - it looks terrible.' Beckham has modelled the buzz-cut on numerous occasions since debuting the look during a Premier League match against Leicester City more than 20-years ago. During a recent interview with former teammate and best friend Gary Neville for the Overlap podcast, the retired footballer named it as his favourite hairstyle. 'I always like the skinhead,' he admitted. 'I always loved the skinhead, because it was easy and you didn't have to do anything with it.'
