He's previously been named one of the sexiest men in the world.

And it was clear to see why as David Beckham, 40, put on a smouldering display as he watched the Los Angeles Kings vs Carolina Hurricanes hockey game at the STAPLES Center in Los Angeles on Friday.

The hunky former footballer appeared extremely focused on the game in hand - no doubt hoping his team, the LA Kings, came up trumps (luckily for him, they trounced their opponents 3-0).

The ex-Manchester United striker donned a white, short-sleeved T-shirt - his tattoo sleeve on full display - which he wore with classic black skinny jeans.

He made his loyalty known in a back-to-front snapback which was emblazoned with the Los Angeles Kings' name.

And showing off his softer side, he happily obliged when a fan asked for a selfie, smiling into the phone's camera.

His new tattoo, which his wife Victoria Beckham showed for the first time on Friday, was also on display in his round-neck tee.

The inking is of a stemmed rose along with the phrase Pretty Lady, perhaps a nod to his stunning spouse.

Meanwhile, the couple's son Brooklyn, 16, was seen jetting back to Los Angeles on Friday night to be with his family after spending a short stint of his mid-term break in his native London.

The teenager cut a casual figure as he was escorted through Heathrow Airport departures, a skateboard tucked under his arm and a baseball cap concealing his high profile identity.

David and Victoria Beckham's oldest child didn't seem to be accompanied by his parents, as he hadn't all week, while the family split their lives between two homes.

Brooklyn, who is big brother to Romeo, Cruz and Harper, seemed to channel some of his father's cool style in skinny jeans and Chelsea boots but also appeared to have stolen a style tip from Victoria by wearing one of her SoulCycle hats.

The 16-year-old toted his hand luggage in a backpack but kept his skateboard in his hands to carry onto the flight.

While in the UK, Brooklyn has been catching up with some old friends, sharing his half term activities with his 4.7M followers on Instagram.

One of his pass-times this week included a 'cheeky Nandos' when the 16-year-old did as most teenagers did and hung around outside the chicken establishment upon a low-key evening.

His social media site has been a good opportunity for the teenager to express his creativity and now features a string of arty, black and white shots from around his London home.

Brooklyn even managed to squeeze in some culture during his trip and was seen visiting the theatre on Monday night.

The biggest Beckham put in an appearance on behalf of his famous family when he attended the new play that bears his namesake, Bend It Like Beckham, beside his grandparents Ted and Sandra.

The Phoenix Theatre production is an adaptation of the 2002 film, which starred Keira Knightley and Parminder Nagra, who portrayed the aspiring teenage footballer who wanted to be as good at the game as former Manchester United No7, David.
