“Those Cheek Fillers Are Wild,” David Beckham’s New Face Sparks Heated Controversy

Many people usually scroll past ads, but David Beckham’s new Verizon commercial made viewers stop and do a double take — with many saying he looked more like other celebrities than the soccer legend they remember.

Beckham, 50, teamed up with the cell phone giant for a new Verizon Access ad. In the spot, the former World Cup star is seen strolling through different areas of a stadium, slowly making his way toward the field.

The campaign was designed to showcase how Verizon connects fans to the heart of the action — but it was Beckham’s appearance that ended up stealing the spotlight.

The comments section under the video quickly flooded with reactions to Beckham’s noticeably altered look. “Those cheek fillers are wild,” one person wrote.

Others chimed in with comparisons and concerns — “It’s giving Simon Cowell with a hint of Mickey Rourke,” one user noted, while another lamented, “He was aging beautifully... Why did he touch his face?!”

In 2024, David Beckham’s photos once again set the internet abuzz. The former footballer shared a few casual shots from the countryside, but instead of admiring the scenery, fans zeroed in on his face — speculating whether he’s had a little cosmetic help to maintain his timeless appearance.

In a series of photos, Beckham offered a glimpse into his peaceful countryside life, featuring his dogs, chickens, and beehives. But the comments section quickly shifted focus — instead of praising the wholesome scenes, many questioned the authenticity of his youthful, slightly puffy appearance.

Many followers speculated about possible cosmetic work around his eyes and brows. Some voiced concerns over an apparent excess of Botox, commenting, “Too much Botox has made his eyebrows sit at a strange angle. Or maybe it’s surgery?” Others suggested he might have used fillers, with one noting, “Fillers under his eyes, Gary Glitter eyebrow lift. What a mess.”

Meanwhile, Mandy Moore’s “unrecognizable” new look has also stirred quite a bit of controversy.
