David Beckham was recently named Britain's most powerful man under the age of 40 by Arena magazine, and he reciprocated by showing off his tattoos and famous friendships to the mag. The footballer, who is as well-known for his abilities on the soccer field, as he is for his international sex appeal, chatted with the mag about the friendships he and wife, Victoria, have formed with some of Hollywood's most high-profile followers of Scientology. Beckham insisted that his buddies, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, have never tried to convert Posh and Becks.
"We respect their religion. We respect everything they do and believe in."But they have never turned around to us and said, 'You have to be a part of this', because that's not what they're about. It's never been about that."
"There's been nothing shoved down our throats because friends don't do things like that."
Hmmm, but someone did manage to convince David that those suspenders were a good idea, which leads me to believe that perhaps he's more impressionable than he's letting on.

This man too hot. But the suspenders have to go. Who cares, I luv him anyway.

"Hi! You probably remember me as a man. Well, now I'm a "Spice Boy" playing bench warmer for a soccer club no-one has ever heard of (-when I'm not playing valet to my scrawny wife's social-climbing ambitions).
Yes! My Hollywood Dream has come true."

Wow harsh but true, re the suspenders and the social climibing wife lol.
Rica says:
This is the best picture ever. All the elements (the stripes on the shirt, the suspenders, the hands) make you look directly at his crotch. Yay!

I wish all days Tom converts them in scientology folks. It will be funny!
Butterface says:
I dreamt about him and Victoria the other night, and now I've decided that I like him since he seemed so normal in my dream. At least, aside from the fact that in said dream I gave him a handjob while Victoria made out with Britney Spears.
Whatever! says:
Notice the fact that the word "scientology" made it onto the cover? Like, who fucking cares? A scientologist must have created that cover, because why should whether Becks is or isn't stupid enough to be sucked in by Tom's proselytizing be the main focus when we're talking about one of the richest athletes in the world? You know that Tom and his money-stealing faux-religion (read: cult) are aware of how to get their name in the news. Look at that laughable nonsense spewed by Nicole Kidman in Vanity Fair. Do they honestly think that anyone is stupid enough to believe a word she said. She is still fulfilling her contract with Tom by saying that shit. No one is fooled.
