David Beckham seems to have it all—unreal athletic abilities, good looks, the money, the hot wife. But hey, the world works in mysterious ways and every person still has an Achilles' heel.

...But we would take a hair elastic over this elaborate contraption. If you're going to rock long hair, fine. Just stop accessorizing it, bro.
