The world's most famous metrosexual, David Beckham, has not even relocated to Los Angeles yet (where he will play soccer for the LA Galaxy) but his already sky-high profile is already going off the charts. Here is the cover image of the new issue of Details magazine as well as the Wheaties box on which he appears:
Here is a portion of the cover story:
--No one is as good at the art of celebrity as David Beckham. Being Americans, we find it hard to accept that one of ours is not at the top of this particular pyramid. But it’s true. Perhaps since Michael Jordan (perhaps since before Michael Jordan) no athlete has remained a bigger celebrity longer than David Beckham. His arrival in America merely guarantees that new audiences will debate the Beckham hair, the Beckham marriage (the flanker brand currently known as Victoria but formerly known as Posh Spice being the biggest winner in this whole situation), the Beckham style. They will see that the many aspects of celebrity culture we think of as quintessentially American, quintessentially now, have long been part of the Beckhams’ arsenal. --
