The 49-year-old shared this new hobby with his fans, sparking calls for the BBC to give him his own gardening show and earning him the affectionate nickname of a “human golden retriever.”
Over the weekend, David posted a video of himself planting a Queen of Sweden rose shrub, with his wife Victoria, 50, offering words of encouragement.

In another clip, he humorously questioned the name of the plant, saying, “Queen of Sweden, English shrub rose. Should it not be English rose shrub?”
The video also captured his struggle with getting the plant out of its pot, causing soil to spill everywhere. Victoria playfully noted, “There we go, some action,” as David managed to secure the plant in the ground.
The following day, David, determined to improve, took fans’ advice to heart. He shared another video, this time filmed by himself, demonstrating the correct technique to remove the rose shrub from its pot. “Who knew it was so easy to get the Queen of Sweden out the box?”

Fans were charmed by David’s gardening adventures, with many expressing their delight and support in the comments.
One fan wrote, “He’s like a human version of a golden retriever,”

The videos quickly garnered over a million likes, solidifying David Beckham’s status as the unexpected “gardening influencer we never knew we needed.”
