Bushy beards seem to be fashionable at the moment. The sooner the fashion changes, the better I'll like it! That chap on Bake Off last year's bushy beard was the first one I noticed. I wonder if he started the trend?
I wouldn't call Beckham dim. He's had a high profile life since he was a youngster and there has been very little scandal unlike some pro footballers. He's had the sense to promote himself and his brand in a positive light and make money while he has a huge following.
That's what I call a canny lad.
