David Beckham still gets stressed about meeting with Nelson Mandela

DAVID Beckham has shared ‘his biggest regret’ in life was meeting Nelson Mandela with cornrows in his hair.

The ex-England football captain met the late South African president in Durban in 2003, and admits he is embarrassed when he looks at that photo of the pair.

‘There I was with one of the greatest, most inspirational men … and I’ve got cornrows,’ he said.

Becks, 43, made the admission on Australian TV show The Sunday Project, where he also said he ignores gossip about his ‘infidelity’.

The dad-of-four insisted: ‘I’m secure as a person, as a husband, as a dad.

‘I’ve gone past the point of really worrying, caring. When I was 22 years old, it might have affected me differently.’
