Beckham turns 47: Victoria, her children, her obsession with cleanliness and 11 things to know

David Beckham was the first footballer-brand, planetary icon, entrepreneur of himself. Handsome, good, married to pop star Victoria Adams. The perfect man has just turned 47 years old , on May 2. And yet, so perfect, he admits that he is not, given that he has just said that he has a mania for order which leads to compulsive obsession: he waits for his large family to go to sleep at night to put the whole house in order, I go to I go around, and it’s tiring, to fix every single candle in the house: I cut the wax, I clean the glass, the smoke inside bothers me… Yes, I know, strange, I don’t know how much Victoria is happy about it. Her foibles and her story – sporting and otherwise – will be told in an upcoming Netflix (overpaid) TV series.
