\u201cI had a hairdresser at the time called Tyler. I said to him, \u2018I\u2019m gonna cut my hair\u2019 and he was like, \u2018Are you sure? You really want to do that?,\u2019 \u201d David explained in the episode.<\/p>\n He further explained that Manchester United Coach Sir Alex Ferguson<\/strong> confronted him about the hairstyle change ahead of their match against Leicester City in March 2000. \u201cAnd [Alex] said, \u2018David take the cap off.\u2019 And I said, \u2018No,'” he said.<\/p>\n \u201cStubbornness,\u201d Alex also recalled. \u201cAnd then I said, \u2018Oh well.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n David debuted the new buzz cut on the field during a game, and it shocked many commentators and viewers. Despite the big spotlight it put on the athlete, he admitted that “attention” wasn’t why he made the change. \u201cI never did it to create attention. I\u2019m not that person,” he said.<\/p>\n The docuseries also looked back on the craze the buzz cut brought from David’s fans back in the day. \u201cWhen David Beckham shaved his head, I honestly thought a member of my family had died. Because my phone went off,” said James Clarke<\/strong>, a Manchester paparazzi, said. \u201cThe panic in people\u2019s voices that this\u2026 We haven\u2019t got it documented yet.\u201d<\/p>\n He went on to add that the new cut became a huge pop culture moment and made many of David’s younger fans want to cut their hair just like him<\/a>. \u201cLiterally kids, \u2018I want to be David Beckham, I want to shave my head. And schools were having to write in, \u2018No shaving of heads,\u2019” he recalled.<\/p>\n David’s wife, Victoria Beckham<\/strong><\/a>, also spoke<\/a> about the memorable moment in the series, which gives an in-depth look at his life over the years. The former Spice Girl<\/strong> admitted she thought that when her husband shaved his head, he started “going from a boy to a man,” and that it surely increased his confidence. \u201cAnd it’s only natural that you\u2019ll start flexing your muscles, right? And don\u2019t all kids rebel against their parents?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The English footballer talked about the famous hairstyle in the new docuseries ‘Beckham.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":99924350,"featured_media":5171076,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exclude_post_from_river":false,"_cr_original_post":"","_cr_replace_post_id":"","_cr_replacing_post_id":"","mt_seo_title":"David Beckham Addresses Buzz Cut From 2000 in New Docuseries","mt_seo_description":"David Beckham talked about his iconic buzz cut from 2000, in his docuseries 'Beckham.'
