Beckham is named the most virile man in the world

According to the Aurélio dictionary, "virility" is the quality of being virile or masculine. It can also be vigor or energy. In turn, virile means something typical of man, or vigorous.

From these concepts it is not difficult to understand why David Beckham was voted the most virile man in the world. The hot football player and husband of Posh Spice was chosen as the most macho man today by readers of the North American website AskMen.

It's worth remembering that the handsome man beat out 48 other heartthrobs like Matt Damon, Justin Timberlake and George Clooney. Beckham was the most rated in terms of talent, charm, haircut and outfit. Prince Harry took a noble 23rd place, but his brother, William, was left out.
