The father-of-four clearly enjoys being a dad, but not all of his duties as a parent have been a walk in the park.

Becks also revealed that one of the most difficult conversations he has ever had to have had been with his children.

When asked what the funniest question he had been asked by his boys was that he didn't know how to answer he said: 'I think it would have to be the obvious one about the birds and the bees :) /Beckham'.

Although the global sports star has just signed a new lucrative deal with Paris Saint-Germain he believes he would have taken a different path if he wasn't a footballer.

The heartthrob admitted that his artistic side is so important to him that he imagines he would have been creative with a pen.

He said: 'I enjoy drawing cartoons, so I'd go for an artist.'

Since moving back to London, Becks has been spotted sporting a baker boy hat, but his former shaved head hair style could be making a comeback.

When asked which of his many famous hair styles he liked most, he said: 'The shaved head because it was nice and easy'.

David was taking part in the Q&A to launch his new H&M Bodywear line and he called time on the interactive fan session to 'pick the kids up from school.'

I am going to admit those pink football boots do not look right on a man BUT pink t -shirts and shirts also tie's look OK on a man. I should know because I have seen plenty of men and teachers wearing these kinds of things and they all look fine But I am going to admit anything else that is pink for example trousers shoes football boots does look kinda weird on men

It is only a colour and is very stupid to think that when A man wears pink he gay. He can wear what he wan't. It is not "Sissy" at all OK maybe pink is a bit girly but I have seen guys and teenagers out in pink coloured t shirts an shirts and it looks absolutely fine Pink is not just for girls and that does for blue aswell

It's just a colour, it doesn't actually do anything to you. Why is it OK for women to wear dark masucaline colours and clothing but for a man to wear something pink it's an insult to his manhood? It's stupid and childish. It's just a colour and has no gender.
