Yes, according to the provided information, the head of the government of New Zealand, John Key, reportedly made uncomplimentary remarks about English footballer David Beckham. On November 2, while visiting a class, Prime Minister Key allegedly said, “David Beckham is handsome and very nice, but he has as much in the brain as a bald man’s droppings.” However, John Key refused to apologize, stating that he believed his remarks were taken out of context.
Despite the reported comments, a source close to David Beckham highlighted the footballer’s successful career, pointing out that, for someone labeled as supposedly stupid, Beckham has achieved significant success globally as one of the most successful footballers. The source also noted Beckham’s involvement in the team that successfully brought the Olympic Games to London.
