David Beckham has been slammed by New Zealand PM John Key. Source: News Limited
HE played in the country, for a fee admittedly, but does he deserve this?
According to Radio New Zealand, Kay slammed Beckham, the former Manchester United, Real Madrid and now Los Angeles Galaxy superstar, for not being too bright.
Key made the stinging remarks about "Golden Balls" to a group of schoolchildren in the city of Dunedin yesterday.
He told the young students that his own son had spent 45 minutes with the former England skipper when he played an exhibition match for LA Galaxy in Auckland in 2008, which cost more than $2 million.
The PM said Beckham, 37, had been very friendly, but then cruelly claimed that the star wasn't very intelligent.
Beckham's brainpower has been called into question a few times in the past, The Sun reported.
"My parents have been there for me, ever since I was about seven," he once said.
Asked another time whether he was a volatile player, he said: "Well, I can play in the centre, on the right, and occasionally on the left side."
Speaking on faith, he said: "We're definitely going to get Brooklyn christened but we don't know into which religion."
His wife Victoria told him in a 2000 telly documentary: "You make yourself sound stupid and you're not."
Beckham and his wife, 38, a former singer in The Spice Girls, have amassed an estimated fortune of $248 million between them.
