David Beckham has never exactly been celebrated for his intellect, but even his greatest critics will be surprised by his latest confession: he can’t understand his six-year-old son’s maths homework.

It’s a shame that David isn’t  better at maths and English but he is top of the class at football. There are not many of us who are top at anything! Nevertheless, I bet the reporter who did this story would struggle with Brooklyn’s math problems too.

Judging from the way he played in last week’s Champions League game, he may want to consider brushing up on his basic arithmetic. I’m no fan of Becks, but it is pretty cute to think of king of penalties helping his kid with homework. [Blogging Baby]

The Real Madrid star admitted that when Brooklyn asked for help with a school assignment recently, he was baffled - and had to turn to his wife Victoria for assistance.

Maybe the only reason Posh can do the math is the practice she gets spending her husband’s paychecks. But this is totally ridiculous! It’s ridiculous that he can’t help his son and it’s even more ridiculous that he admitted it!

Now it all makes sense why Beckham dresses like he does (he’s considered a fashion icon). He’s just not all that bright! Hahaha…
