Beckham: 'I want to look like Wolverine'

David Beckham has revealed that he wants to look like Wolverine.

The LA Galaxy footballer, who has recently been photographed with a thick beard, said that the facial hair is a result of being stubborn and wanting to dress up as the X-Men character for Halloween.

The Daily Star quotes him as saying: "Halloween is coming up and I was thinking of Wolverine from X-Men. It's not some play-off ritual. I'm just lazy and can't be bothered to shave."

The 34-year-old added: "Everybody keeps telling me to cut it and I'm stubborn."

Beckham recently topped a poll for having the worst facial hair in showbiz.
