The English former professional football player took to Instagram yesterday to debut his newly shaved head, as he becomes the latest to pick up the clippers to quell boredom while self-isolating. The black and white photo shows the 44-year-old looking towards the camera with a slight smile, showing off his newly shaved 'do. He captioned the post: "Just had to be done #stayhome #staysafe #staystrong GOODNIGHT."

And the new hairstyle was praised by his 62.1 million Instagram followers, with celebrity hairstylist Ken Pavés saying that Beckham did a great job. "No body wears it better!!! You could teach me a thing or two! [sic]" he wrote. "Damnnnn my hairs so crazy right now i might have to bring back the shaved head too!’, former American soccer player, Bryan Jordan, added, suggesting he could follow in Beckham's footsteps. At the time of writing, the photo has received over 1.6 million likes.
