David Beckham is nearing 40 and says he’s got a new found love of flower arranging

David Beckham is the sort of man we’d expect to be really manly.

You know, he’s so rugged and muscly – we can imagine him oiling his motorbikes and putting up shelves around the house.

But, it turns out he’s actually quite a gentle soul who enjoys flower arranging. That is, when his wife Victoria, lets him.

“Victoria is in charge of the house, but I am allowed my input into one or two areas,” explained David. “One of the things that has changed over the years [is] when you get older, you mature, and you start liking flowers – although I try and keep it manly.”

Ok then, Dave.

In the interview with the* Telegraph*, the 39-year-old revealed that Victoria’s the one behind his immaculate dress sense and that essentially, whatever she says goes.

We wouldn’t expect it any other way.

“[The best fashion advice from Victoria is] probably to not wear something!

“I'm sure over the years she has turned around and told me not to wear things. When you've been with someone for so long and are married to that person, you trust their judgement. It might not always be right but you do trust them. I definitely trust her judgement and hopefully she trusts mine.”

Well, she does let you loose on the flowers, David. So you must be doing something right.
