Today is David Beckham’s birthday! Let’s be honest, there are many, many things to love about Becks… but for the sake of efficiency we’ve narrowed down the list to just 5:

1. He’s a good dad
Is it just us, or is there something incredibly attractive about a man who loves his kids? David Beckham is case in point.

There was that time David’s daughter Harper sat on his lap during one of Victoria’s runway shows. Or there was the time he recorded his son Cruz performing ‘the Cups song’, gushing about his talent. Just this week, he took 17-year-old Brooklyn for a driving lesson (and posted a happy snap on Instagram, of course!)

2. He’s getting better (looking) with age
Becks is like a fine wine… with each year that goes past, he get just a *little* bit better looking.

Don’t believe us? Take a look at the comparison below.

3. He’s been a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador for 10 years
As part of his work with UNICEF, David has helped to raise global awareness of the dangers facing children, such as Ebola, malnutrition and AIDS. Last year, David travelled to seven continents in 10 days, to partake in seven charity football matches to raise money for the fund.

4. His tattoos all have sentimental meaning
David’s tattoos aren’t so tough when you find out that they all have sentimental meaning.

On his left arm is a woman modelled after his wife, while his back has his sons names Romeo, Brooklyn and Cruz. You can also spot Harper’s name near his left collarbone. His finger has a large 99 etched into it, as a memento of his wedding year.

David is covered tattoos, so we could go on and on and on… but you get the point.
