He told the Daily Mirror: "I like to change and with short hair I wanted to do it, although I have had the mickey taken out of me for it."

It’s not the first time Becks and his wife have been seen stepping out with matching styles.

A source added: "As they’re both blond at the moment the images will look sensational and will get the whole of America talking."

Ladbrokes are already putting bets on for the style Becks will sport when he joins LA Galaxy later this year.

Odds of 33/1 are being placed on the star bleaching stars and stripes into his hair and 5/1 that he will sport a shaved head the next time he emerges from the hairdressers.

The Real Madrid star is 3/1 to revert back to the centre parting he had when he first burst onto the scene - and a French crop is the 2/1 favourite.

Becks not looking for Hollywood fame? - Feb 16 2007
Despite his move to Los Angeles, it seems David Beckham doesn’t want to be a Hollywood star.

The 31-year-old, who recently signed a £128 million deal to join LA Galaxy, has been tipped as a potential icon of the silver screen.

David - who has three sons with wife Victoria, has even admitted that he plans to have acting lessons, reports The Sun.

However, while promoting his latest film Goal 2, in which he stars as himself, the footy ace said: "I just had to act very naturally.

"It would be very difficult to be part of a film because I am not an actor and I never will be."

The second in a trilogy, Goal 2 tells the story of rising football star Santiago Munez, played by Kuno Becker, who leaves Newcastle for Real Madrid. Footy star Zinedine Zidane also makes an appearance in the flick.

Beckhams’ staff refused permits? - Feb 9 2007
It seems Posh and Becks have suffered their first obstacle in their move to the US - apparently their entire security team have been refused work permits by the US authorities.

The footy ace is busy shifting his family from Madrid to California after he signed a £70,000-a-day five-year deal with Major League Soccer’s Los Angeles Galaxy. But now his loyal staff may have to stay put.

A insider told The Sun: "Posh and Becks’ personal protection squad have been with them for a good few years.

"But they won’t be allowed to work for them in America because they do not qualify for work permits because of the strict regulations surrounding work permits in the US.

"It looks like Becks will have to give them all the sack because they will be rarely outside the US and won’t be needed. The hunt is now on to find an American security team to look after them in LA.

"It’s proving to be a massive headache because David and Victoria are comfortable and so happy with their current team."

Beckham teams up with Disney - Jan 26 2007
David Beckham’s growing profile in the US was given another boost today with the launch of an ad campaign depicting the pricey soccer star as a dragon-slaying prince.

Shot by world-renowned snapper Annie Leibovitz, the 31-year-old’s latest makeover as Prince Phillip from Sleeping Beauty is one of three images depicting top celebs as Disney characters as part of Disneyland and Walt Disney World’s new Year of a Million Dreams campaign.

Annie also transformed Beyonce from glamorous diva into an almost unrecognisably girlish Alice in Wonderland, sitting the 25-year-old in a whirling teacup next to singer Lyle Lovett as the March Hare and actor Oliver Platt as the Mad Hatter.

Scarlett Johansson, 22, who was the first celeb to sign on to the project, plays Cinderella running from the ball, wearing a custom-designed Nicoletta Santoro gown and a 62-carat diamond tiara by Harry Winston, worth a whopping £165,000.
