David hits the peroxide bottle for a copycat Posh look

He's been accused by tough guy ex-footballer Vinnie Jones of moving to the US to hold his wife Posh's handbags - and now David Beckham has decided to copy his wife's blonde crop for a startling blonde look of his own.

The couple, who once famously wore matching Gucci leather suits on a night out, seem to have a habit of copying each other's looks.

Beckham, who is 32 next week, and wife Victoria have returned to their popular blonde look of 2000.

According to The Mirror, his new look has not gone down too well with his teammates at the world famous Spanish club, who teased him throughout training and tried to rip the woolly hat he was wearing from his head.

Brazilian Robinho almost got a hold of the hat, but Beckham managed to get away. A source said his teammates had nicknamed him 'Marilyn' after movie-star Marilyn Monroe.

Beckham's peroxide locks have long been a favourite with rock stars such as Robbie Williams and Billy Idol.

The footballer, who is set to move to Los Angeles for a multi-million pound transfer to U.S football team LA Galaxy, is said to have gone for the look as he and Victoria are scheduled to complete a photo session with top photographer Stephen Klein for America's fashion bible W.
