The retired footballer has revealed that whilst his 16-year-old son Brooklyn doesn't think he's "cool", he will gladly raid his wardrobe for outfits to wear.

David said: "My elder child, Brooklyn, he's 16 years old. Every time I go into my wardrobe, there's clothes on the floor, and I'm a really tidy person, so I know he's been in there. He doesn't think I'm too cool at times, but... he comes out in my jeans or my trainers or t-shirts.

"One of the last times Brooklyn thought I was cool was when I got him the Kanye shoes for his birthday. So for about five hours I was cool again, and then he realised I got a pair as well, and it kind of killed it for him."

It works both ways for David as he takes style inspiration from his son Brooklyn and his two other sons Romeo, 12, and Cruz, 10.

He added: "I do get inspiration from my kids. Brooklyn is constantly coming up with his own look, and Cruz is the same, and Romeo is Romeo, he looks good in everything. So they give me inspiration all the time."

Meanwhile, David - who also has three-year-old Harper with wife Victoria Beckham - admitted he recently considered dying his hair blonder after being inspired by Brooklyn but Victoria soon put a stop to it.

Speaking to promote the launch of his new fragrance Instinct: Gold Edition, he said: "Brooklyn went that shade the other day and it looked that great, and I was like, 'Could I do it again?', and Victoria looked at me as if to say 'Sit!'"
