Beckham

I had the extreme good fortune of being in the same room as David Beckham!

I'm a huge fan, and the only way it could have been better was if Zidane had been in the same room! 

Beckham comes across as a very likeable guy without giving out the self-centered vibes that come with being the centre of attention wherever he goes.

If you weren't aware of his celebrity status, which he has honestly earned as being arguably the best playmaker and passer of his generation, and his good looks, of which he doesn't seem to be aware of, you would think he's just another guy happy to be paid to do what he loves to do anyways. He's like a Brad Pitt: good-looking to the ladies and non-threatening to the guys.

Here's an article by John Doyle in today's Globe and Mail "Everything you know about David Beckham is wrong."
