'It's all you need': David Beckham says he only has three close friends... but he is more than happy about that

He has a life of celebrity and wealth that few of us can dream of.

But David Beckham has revealed that there is an unfortunate downside to fame for him - he only has three friends.

The footballer said that over the years his circle of ‘20 good friends’ has gradually decreased to a trio of ‘really good friends’.

These three along with his wife Victoria and their four children are enough to keep him content, Mr Beckham said in an interview.

He did not disclose if he chose to limit his number of friends, or if he has been gradually abandoned over the years.

The 36-year-old also did not specify who the three were, although he is known to be on very good terms with Tom Cruise who lives close to him in Los Angeles.

Former Manchester United team mate Gary Neville was his best man at his wedding and he is chummy with Princes William and Harry.

Speaking to the U.S. edition of Men’s Health magazine, Mr Beckham said: ‘I’ve got friends at the different teams I’ve played for, but family is the most important thing to me.

'That will always be the case. I’ve got my wife. I’ve got my four kids. I’ve got parents, grandparents still, and three really good friends.

'It’s all you need. I’d rather have three really good friends than 20 good friends.'

Should he so desire, Mr Beckham could have far more than his chosen trio of close associates.

He is adored by millions of fans worldwide who recently drooled over him in his underwear for an advertising campaign for H&M.

He is still respected in the footballing world - he holds the record for the most number of outfield appearances for the England team and has won the Premier League six times.

Now playing in the U.S. for the Los Angeles Galaxy, he helped them win last year’s tournament.

He and wife Victoria, 37, are said to be worth £125million.

Despite limiting his friends, Mr Beckham said in the interview that he still enjoys playing football as much as ever.

He told Men’s Health: 'Even at 36, I’m still running 12 miles a game.

‘But I’ve definitely become more aware on the field. I know what my limits are, what I can achieve, and which passes I can play. I have adapted to my age.'
