Like fine wine, David Beckham continues to get better with time. Covering the pages of L.A. Confidential Magazine in a Ralph Lauren suit, David spills the beans on his family, career, and modeling gigs.
On his wife Victoria Beckham and their three kids, Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz..."I love my career, but my family will always come first. We’re happy to be having another baby. Our three boys are so excited; they’ve been asking for a baby for a while now, so they were happy when we brought the news to them. We’re lucky enough to have three beautiful boys, three healthy boys. To have another one on the way, we feel very privileged. It’s going to be a big year."
On what he's looking forward to this season with the Galaxy...."I always get excited before the season starts because you go all the way through pre-season and don’t have too many games, so when the competitive games start, it’s great. I think it’s been frustrating the past few years because we’ve come so close and not won anything. This year we’ve brought in a couple of experienced players and a couple of young players that look exciting. Hopefully, it’s going to be our year. We need to work hard, and if we work hard, then we’ve got a chance.
On what the family likes to do in L.A... “That’s one thing we love about America, about living in L.A.: There are so many different things you can do. Before we came here, the boys loved playing soccer, and that was kind of it. But now they’re into baseball, basketball, skateboarding and American football."
On playing soccer, advertising campaigns for Emporio Armani, launching an underwear line soon, and the many photo shoots he's done. How heu manages to do all that and still maintain credibility in the locker room..."It becomes a joke. The Armani ads always get a laugh around the locker room. Soccer is the reason why I’m doing these other things outside the game. Without that, I wouldn’t have these things. But it’s not to say I don’t enjoy them; I enjoy doing certain shoots, but my number-one love is soccer, and when I’m playing that everyone knows that’s when I’m at my most comfortable. I’m confident playing the game, and that’s never going to change. Everything I do outside of the game will never affect what I do on the field."
On playing in the next World Cup..."It would be nice. You know, it’s in 2014; I’ll be 39 by then. I’m getting on. I would love to play another World Cup—it’d be amazing—but that’s not my goal at the moment. My goal is to stay as healthy as I can, to stay as fit as I can, to win things, to be successful—and then, who knows?"
