David Beckham sparks concerns over swollen face during 'Today' appearance: 'All the botox catching up'

MANHATTAN, NEW YORK: David Beckham’s recent appearance on NBC's 'Today' show has left fans and commentators abuzz, as the legendary soccer star and global fashion icon showcased a noticeably swollen face.

Known for his timeless charm and polished image, the Inter Miami owner’s altered appearance sparked speculation and criticism, particularly during a segment on the Spanish talk show 'Aruser@s', Marca reported.

David Beckham sparks concern on 'aesthetic touch-up' 

Alfonso Arus, the presenter of the 'La Sexta' program, remarked on Beckham’s “slightly more swollen” face, prompting a discussion among his co-hosts.

Collaborator Tatiana Arus speculated that the change could be due to an “aesthetic touch-up,” adding, “It’s not his best shot nor is he favored.”

She suggested that the swelling might be a temporary side effect, stating, “Sometimes when you undergo some kind of aesthetic touch-up, the swelling must go down.”

However, not everyone on the panel was as forgiving. Patricia Benítez didn’t hold back her critique, saying, “He’s in decline… Horrible.”

As reports suggest, Angie Cardenas attempted to defend the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star, suggesting that harsh studio lighting might have exaggerated the effect.

“It gives the feeling that it’s hard for him to even laugh because he can’t move the muscles in his face. It’s a bit strange… Maybe the studio light is not the best,” she said.

However, Alfonso Arus was quick to shut down that theory, stating firmly, “The light does not affect that gesture that prevents him from smiling.”

The debate over Beckham’s appearance has sparked widespread controversy, with fans and critics alike wondering whether the 48-year-old may have recently undergone a cosmetic procedure.

Quite recently, his change in appearance was also evident in an Instagram post, that was captioned, "Winter walks with these 🐶 🐶 🐶 🐶 🤎🤎🤎🤎 🥶."

While no confirmation has been provided, the images have stirred discussion about the challenges celebs face in maintaining their image.

Beckham, a transformative figure in the relationship between soccer and fashion, is no stranger to the spotlight.

As one half of an iconic power couple with Victoria Beckham, he’s spent decades as a trendsetter, bridging sports and style in a way few others have achieved.

David Beckham, once celebrated as one of the most handsome men in the world, has become the center of a heated online discussion following recent photos that revealed a noticeably swollen appearance.

Fans and critics alike have taken to social media, speculating about the possible use of Botox and fillers.

A viewer expressed, "He should stop the face injections."

Following suit, another observer added on YouTube, "Mixing too many supplements is not good idea."

Additionally, a viewer pointed out, "It’s sad to see celebrities ruining their faces with fillers and Botox. David used to be one of the most handsome men in the world, and now his cheeks are about to burst from fillers, and his eyes look slightly cross-eyed—probably because of the Botox. Man, you can’t escape aging; all that happens is that you turn into a creepy plastic doll. So stop with all that—your fans will love you even with your wrinkles."

A follower contributed, "Too much botox."

A comment underscored on Facebook, "Those injections have all but ruined his once great looks … kinda sad really."

Another comment echoed, "It's called age and bad botox."

An individual elaborated further, saying, "All that botox catching up with him."

One person joked, "Starting to look like wolverine."
