How many of you think that David Beckham became famous because of his wife?

Question

Just curious coz his playing style is ordinary and has only scored 17 goals for England....so obviously he earned his fame for other reasons but football....One site states ...."As famous for his pop star wife, his ever changing hairstyles ..."

Also many regard him just as a poster boy

Do you agree? If not why?

Answer 1

he was famous way before he married her....the only reason she stayed famous is because of him....how many of the other spice girls are still famous????

Answer 2

um, I'm sure it's better for her to be w/ him. I doubt it was her idea to revive that hideous band for one more attempt at getting some cheese from the public desire for all things familiar.  

Answer 3

That's a good question! when u think back 2 da late nineties the spice girls were really big and victoria started goin out with david she was better known then as davids career was jus kicking off! Its funny how its the opposite now! but in my opinion i think he's overrated and he's not as good of a footballer as he's made out 2 be!  

Answer 4

no i don't agree. how do you think he got to be a poster boy? there are plenty of good-looking mediocre players that aren't worshiped by the press and paparazzi.

Answer 5

Nope

Beckham became popular long before he even met Victoria I think

United players were always the most famous footballers around and it didnt help that Beckham inherited the no7 shirt of the likes of Best and Cantona

And yes he is good looking

I actually think Victoria is the less popular

Maybe not at that time when Spice Girls was still the hottest music property in the world

But today, she is nowhere to be seen except at LA Galaxy matches & the fashion shows

Dont blame Beckham over the, some people say, overratedness

Blame the media

Answer 6

Nope definitely not, if anything Victoria Beckham has kept famous because of him. he was famous way before he was married to her!

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10

No,he is a  good british footbalist.

Answer 11

no its the opposite, his wife is hanging onto the limelight by attaching herself to him

Answer 12

I am from california, when beckham first came over here, it was all over the news.  Since then, havent heard a thing about him.  Wait, I seen him endorsing a Sharpie pen commercial.  I think here he isnt as big here as in england.
