However, the 36-year-old footy star nicked-named 'Goldenballs' by his wife Victoria Beckham, was photographed with his latest style that didn't make for a pretty picture.

The LA Galaxy midfielder appears to have suffered a serious fashion faux pas by revealing his not so trendy bald patch to the world when he was carrying his six-week-old daughter Harper into a Los Angeles eatery.

Award-winning hairdresser Karine Jackson plays down the reports saying that Becks hair might be thinning, but it is unlikely that he is balding.
 
"As a woman I love to look at David Beckham’s hair and I was a bit shocked to see this," the Daily Mail quoted her as saying.

"Certainly, he has been thinning over the last ten years. However, we have seen photographs of him in the ocean recently and if he was going bald you would have noticed it before.

"Indeed, a particular bald patch is very rare in male pattern baldness so it could be a trick of the light.

"Alternatively, it could be a temporary loss caused by, for example, bruising from a football match," she added.

Looks like a bald spot to me. The Sun has more here and a larger photo.
