David Beckham in Thongs

David Beckham honored to be a gay icon

David Beckham, who has confessed to wearing wife Victoria’s thongs, and more recently donned some very sexy pants for Armani’s latest advertising campaign, has admitted that Posh Spice likes to dress him while he loves being a gay icon. The 32-year-old LA Galaxy star said: “Without a doubt Victoria has a huge part in the way I look these days. I think most couples agree you have to listen to your partner and you have confidence in your partner to tell you whether you look good or whether you don’t and to help you out with your fashion and dress sense. In America I am just in shorts, tee shirts and flip flops - although if Victoria is listening, she’ll probably turn round and say the truth, that I actually get my outfit ready the night before. I’m very organized and controlled and need to go to bed at night knowing what I’m going to wear the next morning. I’m very honored to have the tag of gay icon.” But answering questions from listeners British radio station Radio 2 yesterday, Beckham hinted he had metrosexual tastes long before the singer came into his life.
