David Beckham was "proud" to be called the gayest straight and blackest white man in Britain. The Los Angeles Galaxy soccer star embraces the views of him as a fashion icon who is in touch with his feminine side.

When asked about being labeled the "gayest straight man in Britain and the blackest white man" David said: "Yes, I like that. When someone said that about me, it made me laugh and I was quite proud of it."

"To have that kind of effect on so many different people around the world, I was honored. When people talk to me about being a gay icon I think of it as a great honor."

David attracted a new group of fans after wearing a sarong in 1998, admitting he used nail varnish and being interviewed by gay magazine "Attitude."

The 33-year-old sportsman insists he doesn't regret any of his fashion choices.

He added to GQ magazine: "If I see something I like I wear it. No matter what I think people will are going to say about me. I don't do it for a statement, I do it because I like wearing different things."
