David Beckham’s son Romeo brings back Manchester United legend’s infamous shaved haircut

David Beckham, the legendary British footballer and style icon, took to social media to express his delight after his son, Romeo, mirrored his iconic buzzcut from the turn of the century.

The Manchester United great is renowned not only for his on-pitch skills but also for his distinctive hairstyles that have motivated countless youngsters across the globe to imitate him.

Romeo Beckham, the newest member of this admiring flock, is a professional footballer in his own right, who recently signed up with Brentford B team on a full-time contract. The young star celebrated his new look on Instagram by thanking his barber for “bringing back dad’s buzz”.

David Beckham responded to his son’s post with an approving “Looking good” comment punctuated with a laughing emoji.

Romeo’s new hairstyle is not the first time he has mirrored his famous father. In 2021, he adopted a platinum blonde style that was reminiscent of Beckham’s hairstyle from 2007. The elder Beckham, however, responded to this imitation with a good-natured jest, poking fun at his son by writing on social media, “Nice hair Romeo Beckham I wonder where u got that idea from.”

Aside from his role as a father, David Beckham is also co-owner of Inter Miami, a football club that has been in the global limelight after successfully attracting Lionel Messi to play for them earlier this summer. The Argentine superstar’s contributions have propelled the club to the Leagues Cup quarter-final after he scored seven goals in just four matches.

Romeo, on the other hand, is prepping for a new season with Brentford’s B team. The young Beckham’s new shaved look seems to be yet another familial tribute, reflecting the close bond between father and son. The new generation of the Beckham family thus continues to create headlines just like their iconic patriarch.
