David Beckham wants to be the best

The 37-year-old, who has four children, Brooklyn, 13, Romeo, nine, seven-year-old Cruz and 10-month-old Harper with wife Victoria, says he never takes anything on in a half-hearted fashion, reported Femalefirst.

"Whatever I do, I want to be the best. I never do anything half-heartedly. I will continue to work hard and play hard and do everything I can to be successful whatever I do. I want to be the best. I think it's a good way to be," he said.

The couple have an estimated joint fortune of around USD 290 million, but the sportsman says their vast wealth is not a reason for them to retire.

 

"It would be easy to do that (retire) of course. It would be easy for me to retire or for Victoria to sit at home and be a wife and mum, but we're still young. There's no reason why we shouldn't continue [to work]."
