These are photos from David Beckham’s photo shoot for Fantastic Man magazine, a magazine I’ve never heard of personally. The shots are by photographer Alasdair McLellan, and they’re rather nice, right? I like Becks when he’s all pretty and clean and polished. I don’t even mind the tattoo sleeves – probably because the work looks high-quality, and the combination of the tattoos with the polished fashion is really sexy. Here are some excerpts from David’s interview:

He normally leaves the magazine shoots up to his fashionista wife Victoria. But footballer David Beckham made a rare appearance as a ‘cover boy’ for men’s glossy Fantastic Man.

The 35-year-old poses for the glossy a shoot by Alasdair McLellan at a pie and mash shop in David’s native East London.

However, unlike his racy shots for Armani underwear and his fragrance ads, David is fully-clothed, dressed head-to-toe in designer gear.

In the accompanying interview, the father-of-three speaks about his love for the traditional Cockney dish.

He said: ‘Being an East End boy, I do miss my pie and mash. I’ve been living out of England for the last eight or nine years. Whenever I can get down there, I get down there.’

Beckham posted a sneak peek of the images on his official Facebook page, which has over 8.7million followers.

He wrote: ‘Check out the Spring / Summer cover of Fantastic Man Magazine, which hits the shops next week.. Will post a few pictures from inside as well, hope you like…’

David and his wife Victoria revealed earlier this month they were expecting a baby girl – a sister for their three sons. It is believed the couple found out recently when Victoria had her 20 week scan. She is due in July.

He said: ‘Obviously, we’re very lucky to be expecting again, and this is the first time I’m going to say it: It’s a little girl. We’re still in shock. Obviously, having three boys, you kind of expect another one, so finding out a little girl is in there is surprising, but, obviously, we are over the moon.’

The Beckham boys, Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, eight, and Cruz, five, are also said to be ‘overjoyed’ about the arrival of a sister.

The Beckhams will attend the Royal Wedding next month before heading back to Los Angeles for their daughter’s birth.

A friend told the Mail: ‘This is one of Victoria’s biggest problems at the moment – what will she wear? What does a six-months pregnant woman wear to the royal wedding?’

Honestly, I’m just as excited to see what Posh wears to the wedding as I am to see Waity’s gown. Mostly because I think Waity’s gown will either be super-boring or rather tacky (Waity loves her silk jersey). Also – who thinks Posh might end up wearing white too? She really is that tacky, so I wouldn’t put it past her. Quick, somebody tell Victoria that white is slimming!!
