For many, David Beckham is synonymous with style, luxury, and stardom. Yet, in a recent podcast for FLAGRANT, famous American comedian and host Andrew Schulz shed light on an aspect of David Beckham that might surprise many. Schulz revealed, “My takeaway was more personality-wise. Like, I saw him as a quite well-rounded individual, not too pompous or arrogant, kind of hardworking player, until he separated from Sir Alex Ferguson and went to play in Real Madrid.”

Schulz went on to express his admiration for Beckham’s humility, which is not commonly found in the persona of the fashion icon. “He was kind of humble and almost respectful of this guy who was his coach since he was a teenager, which I didn’t expect from him,” Schulz said. “You know, he comes off almost like a kind of working-class bloke, but I knew him as a fashion icon. So, it’s really refreshing to see.”
