David Beckham gave himself what he thought was a harmless buzz cut at home, but his plan backfired when part of the clippers fell off mid‑trim, leaving a glaring bald spot on his head. In the clip, he shyly covers the patch as his wife films and promptly bursts into laughter.

Posh Spice, Victoria, asks in disbelief,

“What have you done?”

before delivering the verdict:

“I’m going to always be honest with you. It looks terrible”

David, not amused, replies, “It’s not funny,” explaining how the clipper head fell off. Undeterred, Victoria giggles about the upside:

“The hours of content that the kids have got from this.”

Fans immediately chimed in, with many urging David to simply shave the rest of his hair, while others compared this fiasco to his iconic buzz cut in 2000. The dramatic transformation debuted without warning and at the time, Beckham had become known for his trendsetting hairstyles, from curtains to cornrows, but the buzzcut was a stark, minimalist shift. What made the cut even more controversial, however, was the secrecy surrounding it. Beckham revealed in later interviews that he had shaved his head without informing his manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, a decision that reportedly did not go down well at all.

Now, 25 years later, Beckham’s latest hair mishap, an accidental bald patch caused by a rogue pair of clippers, has sparked a wave of nostalgia. Though the mishap was entirely unintentional, it draws a parallel to his famous buzzcut moment, only this time, instead of a grumpy manager, it’s Victoria delivering the brutal honesty.
