    David Beckham's Hair Evolution

    David Beckham might not have made Great Britain’s 2012 Olympic soccer squad, but the L.A. Galaxy star is said to be “honored” to be taking part in the Games’ Opening Ceremony in London. It has not been divulged what his role will be, but rumors that Beckham may carry the Olympic torch were promptly refuted by the fomer England captain. “I've always said, lighting the torch in the stadium is something that should be done by an Olympian." Fortunately, Beckham doesn’t need an Olympic flame to light a fire in our hearts. Ever since he emerged in the '90s as the spiky-haired soccer sensation with a seductive accent, we’ve been captivated by his talent — and his great head of hair. While we wait in anticipation for Beckham’s appearance at the Opening Ceremony, let’s take a look back at all the different heads of hair he’s sported though the years.
