In a recent interview with GQ magazine in the UK David Beckham spoke about being labelled both the “gayest straight man in Britain”. Beckham said that he likes it.
“When someone said that about me, it made me laugh and I was quite proud of it. To have that kind of effect on so many different people around the world, I was honoured. When people talk to me about being a gay icon I think of it as a great honour.”
While he may be the object of many gay men’s affections, we’re not quite sure if he qualifies as an icon.
He also defended his ‘metrosexual’ image, saying: “I’ve always been into clothes and fashion. It wasn’t a vain thing, it’s just that I love looking smart. I don’t do things for people to latch on to. If I see something I like I wear it, no matter what I think people are going to say about me. I don’t do it for a statement.”
