The secret to David Beckham’s ripped physique revealed as he strips off for another sexy shoot in the countdown to his 50th birthday

He’s gearing up to celebrate his 50th birthday in May.

And ahead of marking the milestone, David Beckham has been stripping off to showcase his incredibly ripped physique in a series of shoots for Men’s Health magazine.

The father-of-four has been posing for photographs demonstrating his hectic schedule at the gym – performing a series of press ups and pull ups.

Yet the secret to his toned figure isn’t just down to regular gym workouts.

David also said he enjoys playing padel three times a week as well as working out everyday with wife Victoria to maintain his jaw-dropping physique.

On working out with the fashion designer, David said he ‘loves’ training with her but often gives her ‘a lot of grief’ during their workout.

Asked if he is worried about turning 50 in May, David said it ‘doesn’t bother him one bit’.

He said: ‘As long as I’m fit and healthy and my family are healthy, that’s all I care about. I’m really happy. I’ve got the business and an amazing family. My kids are all working hard, and they’ve all got passions, and that’s what’s important to me.’

David shares four children – Harper, 13, Brooklyn, 25, Cruz, 19, and Romeo, 22, – with Victoria, whom have been married since 1999.

While he is also well-known penchant for fine wine, when it came to stripping down for a Boss underwear campaign last month, David had to make a sacrifice.

The former footballer revealed that he cut out alcohol for 14 weeks in order to get in peak shape for the shoot, which debuted in January 2025.

Speaking at MIP London to Bela Bajaria, Chief Content Officer of Netflix, the 49-year-old said: ‘I actually told my team, I’m not going back into my underwear. And then we signed the Boss deal.

‘And the Boss guys so nicely said, and I was under quite a bit of pressure at that point, so I agreed to it, and then I trained for 14 weeks. And someone that loves food and wine, I cut that out for 14 weeks and just went for it.’

Another key to David’s physique is ‘fitness snacking’.
