David Beckham takes fans inside his immaculate wardrobe and reveals he plans his outfits a WEEK in advance – after opening up about OCD struggles
David Beckham showed off his impeccably organized wardrobe as he spoke about his ‘obsession’ with keeping things in order.
The former footballer – who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) – gave fans a glimpse into his prim lifestyle while being filmed for his new Netflix docuseries BECKHAM.
The fourth and final episode opened with a throwback clip of David in his teenage years, saying that he always keeps his room clean, with the comment “I hate a messy room.”
It then cut to the present day when the sportsman, 46, was filmed running his hands over his clothes as he explained: ‘It’s all quite organised, jackets, denim shirts, dress shirts and then it goes from jumpers, cardigans to T-shirts, underwear socks and then suits.’
He revealed that he sorts his sweaters by coordinating them by color and then folding them at an angle to see what’s underneath without moving them.

David then showed a clothes rail and explained: ‘These are my outfits for the rest of the week, I’m preparing my week. Before, it was only the night before.”
As director Fisher Stevens asked: Is that a new obsession?’ David replied, “Yes, I’m quite organised.”
He couldn’t hide his shock as he opened his pants and noticed that the hangers were crooked and announced, “Someone’s been here.”
David has spoken about his battle with OCD in the past, telling the Daily Mail: ‘I have obsessive-compulsive disorder where I need everything to be in a straight line or everything to be in pairs.’
OCD, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, is a mental health condition that can affect anyone at any age. Patients typically develop obsessive thoughts and compulsions that significantly impact their daily lives.
This can manifest in many ways, including obsessively cleaning to a certain standard, body dysmorphia, compulsive skin picking and hoarding, says mental health charity Mind.
Earlier in the docuseries, he admitted that his compulsive behavioral disorder means he cleans his used candles every day – and he compliments his wife Victoria, 49, for leaving out the salt.
Filmed by a camera crew in his kitchen, David explained: ‘I clean (the house) so well, I’m not sure it’s really appreciated by my wife, to be honest.’

He continues: ‘The fact that, when everyone is in bed, I walk around, clean the candles, put the lights on the right setting, make sure everything is tidy.

“I hate coming down in the morning and there’s cups and plates and, you know, bowls.” It’s tiring to have to clean every candle.
“I cut the candle wax, I clean the glass, that’s my favorite hate, the smoke around the inside of a candle… I know, it’s weird.”
The Beckhams live in a £25 million mansion in Holland Park, London, which they bought in 2013.
It has eight bathrooms, seven bedrooms and a gym and spa.
In the footage, Victoria told her husband’s crew: “He’s just so perfect,” before telling David he was “appreciated.”
But he jokes to the production team: ‘Don’t believe that for a second. She sounds so sarcastic when she says it.’
