ROMEO BECKHAM copied his dad’s infamous haircut for his latest photoshoot.
David Beckham, 49, had his fair share of different trims over the years.
But arguably his most memorable look was back in the early noughties.
That was when Becks opted for the iconic mohawk – with the sides of his head shaved and the strip of locks down the middle.
The ex-Manchester United hero initially opted for the look ahead of the 2000 Charity Shield at Wembley – but it didn’t last long.
Beckham had kept it secret by wearing a hat in training, at the team hotel and on the coach to the stadium but as soon as Sir Alex Ferguson saw it, he ordered the winger to shave his head immediately.
The footballer did bring it back – this time on the safety international duty with England.
And now his second son Romeo has followed in his old man’s footsteps by replicating the hairstyle.
Beckham Jr, 22, got in front of the camera for a modelling shoot with Interview Magazine.
And in one of the pics he is even giving himself the haircut while topless and his right wrist strapped up in a bandage.

The mohawk section is shorter and wider than his dad’s version – but the resemblance is clear to see.
In the other photos, Romeo is sticking his tongue out topless showing off his tattooos, lying on a bed both topless and fully clothed and standing beside a row of bicycles in jeans, a hooded zip-up and a black coat.
Romeo also looked the part in a trench coat with his bare legs revealing more of his inkings.
Beckham Jr looked set to try and follow his dad into football, too.
He started out in the Arsenal academy then had stints with Inter Miami and then Brentford but left the Bees in 2024.
AFTER coming out as polyamorous last year, global RnB megastar Ne-Yo has revealed he’s added another ‘wife’ to his growing group of partners.
The divorced dad-of-seven is already dating OnlyFans stars Bella and Phoenix Feather and party girl Arielle Hill.
He’s now added successful choreographer Brionna Williams to his growing harem.
Despite the superstar artist, famous for smash hits like ‘Closer’, ‘Give Me Everything’ and ‘Miss Independent’, not being legally married, he fondly labels his female companions his ‘wives’.
Brionna went public with their relationship on Instagram last year, posting a romantic New Years Eve pic with her singer songwriter lover.
Well-respected in the world of dance, Brionna has worked with famous performers like Ciara and Iggy Azalea.
But it appears she’s yet to be given the same respect by Ne-Yo’s other ‘wives’, who have snubbed her from their Instagram bios.
Bella, Pheonix and Arielle have all namedropped eachother on their pages, confirming their joint relationship status with the ‘So Sick’ singer.
But they’re yet to include latest addition Brionna online – and she hasn’t even been featured in a snap on any of their accounts.
“To make matters worse, the original three spent Valentine’s Day with Ne-Yo without Brionna,” writes Mail Online.
Ne-Yo revealed his polyamorous lifestyle last year.
In an interview with TMZ, he said: “Legalising polygamy? I didn’t know it was illegal. You should let people do whatever the hell they want to do. Can’t see how it’s hurting anybody.”
“To be honest, I don’t need the government to tell me what I can and can’t do in my personal life.”
He later boasted to TMZ that there was “no cap” to how many girlfriends he could take on, boasting to be open to having “as many as you can afford.”
Ne-Yo is known for his sexually charged songs but has also been featured in several rap, Latin, and EDM songs.
In 2021, the R&B singer was revealed to be Badger on the second season of the UK’s The Masked Singer.
He is also the penman behind huge hits such as Mario’s Let Me Love You, Beyoncé’s Irreplaceable, and a number of songs for Rihanna.
Ne-Yo previously legally married TV personality Crystal Renay in 2016, before the couple called it quits and divorced in 2023.
They share three kids – Shaffer Chimere Jr, Roman Alexander-Raj Smith, and Isabella Rose.
The singer is also father to four other children he has with ex-girlfriends Sade Bagnerise and Monyetta Shaw.
Monyetta and Ne-Yo nearly made it down the aisle, but in 2013 their relationship ended abruptly two months before their wedding.
Polyamory is the practice of having romantic relationships with more than one person at the same time, with the knowledge and consent of all parties.
It can refer to relationships where one person has multiple partners or spouses, or where all parties are in a relationship with each other, for example in a throuple.
According to You Gov, 6.8% of people in the UK have been in a polyamorous relationship.

IT was the Seventies dinner party dessert of choice – and now the retro Black Forest gateau is back.
Sales of the classic chocolate sponge, Morello cherry and whipped cream pudding are booming, with Waitrose reporting a 134 per cent increase compared to last year.
But which slices are stuck in the past, and which are the cherry on the top? Here, Laura Stott rates a selection.
OK, at this price it is unlikely you will be picking it up as a midweek dessert or as a standby for the freezer.
But if you want something that looks spectacular for a special occasion, then this giant offering will serve at least nine people and is really extremely tasty.
It takes all the 1970s flavours and poshes them up into a properly luxurious pud.
Cocoa-rich, intense chocolate is blended with silky mascarpone cheese custard cream and squished with springy chocolate sponge and scrummy sour and sweet cherry sauce.
On top there is a thick layer of chocolate ganache and a crunchy tempered chocolate plaque. Delicious.
PRICEY for the size, but the flavours are in place and pleasant, although I couldn’t really fathom why the cost was so much higher.
All the Black Forest tastes are there with agreeable Morello cherries, a creamy mousse and dark chocolate flakes, but there is nothing that makes a slice of this gateau stand out.
The cherries are definitely on the sweet side and there aren’t as many as I would have liked to see. The cream around the edge is extremely firm.
On the plus side, this makes it easy to slice. But however nice it is to eat, it looks a little mean on the table and I don’t think it offers good value for money.
PERFECT to keep in the freezer for when you want something that feels a bit special.
It is small enough to fit neatly in a cold draw, but once defrosted, there is plenty to go round as a family pud or something to serve when friends come over.
It looks very pretty, with eight per cent shiny Morello cherries heaped up in the middle.
There is a generous amount of cream around the outside and tasty dark choc flakes sprinkled on top.
Underneath there’s chocolate sponge, a layer of creamy vanilla mousse, choc mousse swirls and sweet cherry sauce.
A bit dense maybe but at the very retro price of just £2 I’m not complaining too much.
THIS whopper, which you will find in the freezer aisle, provides enough dessert for eight people – or more if you don’t want a huge slice.
I really enjoyed the Morello cherries in the centre, which are a gorgeous, glossy, blood red hue and taste as good as they look, smothered in delicious – and just tart enough – cherry sauce.
The chocolate sponge is layered with cream mousse and cherry sauce.
Below is rather sweet but still yummy, and there is a good amount of dark chocolate flakes on top, although they are scattered rather patchily.
Very creamy and moreish, it is a guilty pleasure. Takes three hours to defrost.
NOT keen on cherries and chocolate? This could be the cake to change your mind.
From the outside, I wasn’t especially excited about tucking into this frozen dessert which comes in a boring purple box with a photo of a rather bland bit of gateau on the front. But what was inside more than exceeded my expectations.
Absolutely delicious Morello cherries, which are plump, juicy and really taste fruity, tart and sweet all together in perfect balance.
A light but rich chocolate sponge cake is layered with tasty vanilla cream mousse and cherry sauce. The flakes are excellent quality. It’s low cost, too.
A FROZEN pud that is perfect for feeding hungry mouths after your main course, without spending a fortune.
This offering will satisfy at least eight people. It came out of the box looking a bit squashed though, which somewhat ruined its showstopper appearance.
And although there was lots of whipped cream around the edge, it was rather flat. It did taste nice but all the whole Morello cherries in the middle had sunk inwards.
I also found the sponge rather firm, and there wasn’t much dark choc on top either. Tastes good, but not the prettiest out there.
A SMALL but perfectly formed gateau that is ideal for keeping in the freezer for when you want an emergency pudding everyone is guaranteed to enjoy.
It is packed with all the nostalgic tastes you’d want, with tart Morello cherries, dark cocoa-flavoured sponge and a layer of vanilla cream through the middle. I did find the amount of cherry sauce on top a bit stingy and the fruits themselves were also on the small side.
But there are plenty of dark chocolate nibs sprinkled over the top, which taste yummy and give good textural crunch.
The vanilla cream does make it feel a bit more like eating an ice cream than a gateau, but the flavours are still enjoyable.
IF you want all the flavours but don’t have lots of mouths to feed or space in your freezer, these mini individual pots are the perfect solution.
Unlike most of the bigger offerings, they also give you a boozy hit as, like the classic retro recipe, they contain the black cherry liqueur kirsch, which is derived from brandy.
The cherry compote is dense with sour and tart fruity flavours. There is a rich and decadent dark chocolate mouse and biscuit crumb.
A grown-up deconstructed gateaux that is ideal as part of a romantic meal for two – or just for whenever you fancy a spoonful to yourself and don’t want to share!
