David Beckham believes he could have been an NFL kicker "easy", that Justin Bieber "looks very good" in his new, allegedly crotch-enhanced and photoshopped Calvin Klein ads, and that since retiring from football he's become an uber driver. The former Manchester United, Real Madrid and LA Galaxy superstar also spoke about being embarrassed by his 2014 Super Bowl underwear commercial, and the UEFA Champions League, La Liga and six-time Premier League winner also revealed that his kids think he's chubby, but that his wife, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, still thinks he's cool.

Beckham also took to Jimmy Kimmel Live! and spoke to host Jimmy Kimmel about life after retirement saying that it has basically involved him becoming "a taxi driver overnight; I'm literally an uber driver now," the soccer superstar laughed.
Beckham complained that his daughter thinks he's "chubby" but overall, after playing soccer professionally for 22 years, "It's nice to actually be at home," and spend some time with his family, he told Kimmel.
Beckham -- who was recently cleared of promoting underage drinking in a whiskey commercial -- also chatted about the reactions his kids have to the world's most famous soccer player dropping them off at school... and embarrassing his two eldest sons Brooklyn (who plays for the Arsenal U16 squad and has hair suspiciously like his dad) and Romeo.
And even though he and wife Victoria "moved back to London two years ago," Beckham revealed that they "miss LA and the US every single day."
Beckham added that he went to last year's Super Bowl between Peyton Manning's Denver Broncos and the eventual NFL champion Seattle Seahawks, saying that he "enjoyed the whole occasion," but that he was embarrassed by his appearance in a Super Bowl commercial.
Beckham explained that it was "embarrassing, coz I was in my underwear," laughed the Manchester United legend. "It came on the screen in the box and there was about 15 people in there, so I then decided to go outside, coz I thought, 'I don't really want to see people's reactions to me running around in my underwear.' Apparently it went down well," he grinned.

But the biggest question was Beckham's potential as an NFL kicker, and the soccer star admitted that "It was mentioned to me when I was playing over here," and that he even
"did an advert for Adidas with Reggie Bush a while back." In it he kicked the (American) football about "50 yards I think."
"I mean, Reggie was pretty impressed," he laughed.
As for whether he could do it in the NFL? "To be honest I can do it like that [kicking 50 yards from a set shot] easy... but when these guys are running at me I'm not sure I'd enjoy it that much."
