David Beckham's Silent Hospital Stay Has Fans Asking Questions
David Beckham was recently hospitalized.
His wife, Victoria Beckham, shared a photo to her Instagram story of David on June 27. She wrote "Get well soon daddy" over the photo, accompanied by a heart emoji.
In the photo, David is wearing a hospital gown and hooked up to wires, flashing a soft smile at the camera. His right arm is in a blue sling.
The following story on Victoria's Instagram was a photo of David holding a beaded friendship bracelet that spelled out "get well soon." The picture looked like it was taken outside the hospital, possibly alluding that he was discharged.He has not publicly addressed his hospitalization, nor has Victoria provided additional details of what landed him there.
But, some speculate that it may have to do with an old injury from his soccer-playing days.
Beckham recently underwent surgery to fix a wrist fracture he originally suffered 22 years ago during a 2003 international friendly against South Africa. The cast Beckham wore right after the injury even ended up being included on his wax figure at Madame Tussauds in Hong Kong back in 2003, Sports Illustratedshared.
But new X-ray revealed that a screw from the initial operation had remained lodged in his forearm and hadn't dissolved as intended, as the New York Postreported.
David has been open about the injuries he dealt with throughout his playing career, admitting he regrets taking multiple painkilling injections—including three in his ankle—just to make it through his final game for Real Madrid in 2007.David Beckham's Silent Hospital Stay Has Fans Asking Questions first appeared on Men's Fitness on Jun 27, 2025

Onitsuka Tiger Opens Champs-Élysées Flagship as It Sets Its Sights on a Century
PARIS — Japanese shoe brand Onitsuka Tiger is stepping into its next era with confidence, following the opening of a new flagship on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées. Paris holds historical significance for the brand. It was Onitsuka Tiger's first international retail location outside of Japan following the brand's revival in 2002. Due to this history, 'Paris is really close to our heart,' Ryoji Shoda, head of Onitsuka Tiger, told WWD. More from WWD Berlin Retailer Solebox Brings Zellerfeld's 3D-Printed Shoe Experience In-Store More Than 30 Convicted for Roles in Organized Retail Theft Ring Of Course You Can Expect the Paris Ball Sofia Coppola Art-directed to Be 'Cinematic' After celebrating its 75th birthday last year with an activation titled 'Onitsuka Tiger Hotel' in the same building, the brand is now expanding its retail presence and looking toward category expansion. 'This new store on the Champs-Élysées marks the beginning of our third generation. This is going to be the first stepping stone towards our 100th anniversary. This will be an important store for us,' said Shoda, speaking through an interpreter. Located at 25 Avenue des Champs-Élysées, the new store has taken over the space of a former restaurant at the base of the historic Hôtel de la Païva building below the legendary Travellers Club. The 5,500-square-foot space features 3,800 square feet of sales floor drenched in Onitsuka Tiger's signature black and yellow palette. 'Our brand has a lot of history. History is something that is important, that is close to our heart. It also needs to be modernized,' Shoda said. '[The store is a] collaboration between Japanese modernism and history. It's a message we are sending.' The renovation was led by Milan-based architects Filippo Dini and Gianluca Cataldi, who have worked on four Onitsuka Tiger stores in Europe and one in Japan. 'We always like to have a crash between Tokyo style with European culture,' Dini said. The result is a layered space that combines preserved 19th-century architectural features, including original arches and pillars, with glossy black shelving units reminiscent of traditional Japanese lacquer boxes, as well as custom concrete crafted from Japanese mortar. 'We're trying to give an identity to each capsule of the brand with their own materials to make them live in their own world, and then live also together with the other stories,' Dini added. Each area within the store reflects a different aspect of the Onitsuka Tiger range. One room features a bookshelf-style display that highlights the 100 percent handmade 'Nippon Made' collection. To celebrate the opening, a special 'Nippon Made' edition of the classic Mexico 66 rendered in the colors of the French flag will be available. Another room dedicated to ready-to-wear is bathed in the traditional bright yellow hue of the brand's signature sneaker. The rooms will also offer heritage models, bags and accessories. Meanwhile, a former bank vault has been cleverly transformed into the store's dressing rooms. Adding to the lifestyle experience, the store includes a café serving Onitsuka Tiger's own branded coffee blend, as well as specialty drinks and snacks. If the beans prove popular, they may eventually be added to the brand's expanding product categories. Onitsuka Tiger is making its first big move into new categories with the coming launch of its fragrances. The fragrances were teased during the brand's show at Milan Fashion Week in February, and are expected to roll out at retail by early fall. Shoda sees it as part of the brand's evolution from sports shoes, to fashion and now lifestyle. He emphasized that the brand sits in a unique position between luxury and high street — a balance reinforced by a strict full-price model. 'To me, luxury means when a product holds its value…We do not do discounts or sales. For me, that's the definition [of luxury],' he said. 'And unlike fast fashion, we are brand driven. It's not about pushing product; it's about building a fanbase of people who love our brand.' Brick-and-mortar retail remains central to the company's strategy, and that like-for-like sales have been growing at a steady clip. 'We can see that the sales per store are growing,' he said. 'The revenues of our stores is really doubling.' Fragrance, Shoda believes, can continue to boost those per-square-foot numbers, and the brand is exploring additional categories. A potential hospitality concept is under consideration, following the popularity of the 'Onitsuka Tiger Hotel' activation last year. The pop-up included branded pillows, bath products and stationery, all of which are now under consideration as new categories, alongside cosmetics and sleepwear. Shoda confirmed that a return to the U.S. market is in the pipeline, though no firm date has been set. Current economic conditions and the uncertainty around President Donald Trump's tariffs are being analyzed, he said. 'It's really going to be not so far away in terms of time, but when we decide to do it, it will have to have a great impact on the market,' he said. 'We have to wait and see [when] the time will be right, when the American market stabilizes.' Globally, Onitsuka Tiger is leaning into physical retail. During the pandemic when most brands were betting on e-commerce, Shoda believed the future would be 'real, human communication,' he said. He put that at the core of his strategy and planning, and moved quickly to open new outposts in London and Milan post-pandemic. The approach has been winning. Onitsuka Tiger is now the most profitable category within parent company Asics. The most recent financial results showed sales up 58.3 percent year-over-year, with profit increasing 8.5 percent over 2023. The company currently operates 192 own-brand stores across the globe, including 48 in Japan, 83 in China, 32 in South Korea, 19 in Southeast Asia, seven in Europe and three in Australia. Many other locations operate through partnerships, though company strategy is concentrated on direct-to-consumer retail. 'As a brand we are extremely popular in Asia, and our products really sell well in Asian regions,' Shoda said. 'That's our strength compared to other luxury brands.' One of those key markets is India. With 11 stores there run through local partnerships, Onitsuka Tiger is considering opening domestic production facilities soon. 'The Indian market is known for being a bit difficult [to break into], but we take pride in the fact that we've been able to achieve great success in that market,' he said. The brand's popularity has been boosted by ambassadors such as Bollywood star Rashmika Mandanna, who was among the celebrity guests invited to the Paris flagship opening night. For dinner in the private Travellers Club, Michelin-starred chef Ryuji Teshima created a four course meal with each course paired to one of the four fragrances. Each course was accompanied by an interpretive dance inspired by the fragrances' characteristics. Onitsuka Tiger's ready-to-wear is now regularly on the Milan calendar. While Shoda declined to provide sales figures for clothing, he said its momentum is steady. The brand's only competition is itself. 'The clothing category is increasing — but shoes are growing so exponentially, it's hard for clothing to keep up.'

Nathan Ambrosioni Finds Sympathy for ‘Bad Mothers' in Camille Cottin Starrer ‘Out of Love': ‘If You Judge Your Characters, You Judge Your Audience'
Every woman dreams of being a mother. Or does she really? In Karlovy Vary Film Festival contender 'Out of Love,' two estranged sisters reunite when widowed Suzanne shows up on Jeanne's doorstep with her two kids. Newly single and childless by choice, Jeanne is startled by the sudden visit. In the morning, Suzanne disappears, leaving behind nothing but a note. More from Variety Karlovy Vary Artistic Director Readies for Czech Reckoning With #MeToo Ahead of Premiere of 'Broken Voices' Karlovy Vary Industry Head Hugo Rosak Talks Big Year of Change: 'We Are in Transition as an Industry' Peter Sarsgaard Calls for Unity in a Divided America at Karlovy Vary Film Festival Opening: 'There Is No Going It Alone' 'My previous film, 'Toni,' was about a mom of five kids. She was raising them all by herself. It was about this extraordinary motherhood. Now, I wanted to explore the opposite side of it,' French director Nathan Ambrosioni tells Variety. 'I knew I wanted a feminine perspective on this because I'm a young queer filmmaker. I just feel more at ease working with a queer person or a woman,' he says of his female-centered drama, which reunited him with Camille Cottin ('Call My Agent!,' 'House of Gucci') cast as Jeanne. She's joined by Juliette Armanet, Monia Chokri, Féodor Atkine, Myriem Akheddiou and Guillaume Gouix. The film is produced by Nicolas Dumont for Chi-Fou-Mi Productions, with Studiocanal handling sales. The taboo surrounding 'unfit' or unwilling mothers is still going strong, he argues. 'We are more used to seeing absentee fathers. I'm not saying that what Suzanne does isn't extreme, but she would be a 'bad mother' even if she would just go to work every day. It's the same with Jeanne. Potential financiers told us: 'She's horrible.' They found it shocking she didn't want these children, but why would she?! Camille's a mother herself, but she understood it right away.' After the initial shock, Cottin's character decides to take care of the abandoned kids, a girl and a boy. But her dilemmas don't stop there. 'How do you construct a family without the presence of a mother or a father? How do you become a parent without becoming a mother? Eventually, Jeanne starts to understand that nobody's asking her to replace Suzanne. She can still be their aunt, and that's ok.' Fascinated by real-life cases of people who go 'voluntarily missing,' sometimes never to return, Ambrosioni wanted his film to feel as accurate as possible. 'I talked to cops, judges, social workers. All these people who choose to disappear… I didn't even know it was possible. There is a scene with a judge that mirrors my actual conversation with her. I told her about the film, and she asked: 'Maybe she left out of love?' I thought it was so beautiful.' Suzanne, pushed to the brink, leaves out of love, but Jeanne decides to stay – also out of love. For the sister she barely knows anymore and for two children left alone in her home. 'On top of that, she has a broken heart. She lost the love of her life, Nicole, precisely because she didn't want kids. It's an even bigger tragedy than her sister leaving,' he adds. But while emotions run high, his characters suffer in silence. 'I never yell and I'm very shy with emotions. I knew I was going to work with kids and didn't want to put them in any weird situations, but I also wanted this to feel quiet. I love Hirokazu Koreeda – nobody ever yells in his films. I love 'Ordinary People.' I wanted to make a film that doesn't feel angry,' he says. 'We always see people crying and screaming on screen, and these are considered 'Oscar-worthy' performances. Here, Camille cries alone, hidden in a corner, and I would still give her an Oscar for what she does in the film. People can be amazing AND quiet.' Following 'Toni' and 'Out of Love,' Ambrosioni isn't done with families – or mothers – just yet. 'My next movie, one that I'm writing right now, is also about a mom and a kid. You can't choose your family – you just… end up there. They are such a beautiful mess, and you have to deal with it. But what if you don't?,' he wonders. 'Suzanne could have asked for help. Lots of people can't understand her actions and when we were developing the film, they would ask: 'What did her note say?' We are not going to know. But I'm impressed by her, in a way. To her, family is something she can either accept or refuse. She can choose, and she chooses to leave.' As for Ambrosioni, he chooses not to judge any of his characters. 'If you judge your characters, you judge your audience. If you're a mom and you're watching this film, and maybe you can't deal with your kids anymore, it won't tell you to leave them, but it will tell you that what you're feeling right now is ok. It's ok not to know how to deal with your children. It's ok not to want them, too,' he says. 'We don't have that many safe places in the world right now, and I want my films to feel safe. Always. I wanted them to feel real, human and lovable. Family, society, friendship: that's really all we have.'

Lewis Capaldi and Lorde top UK charts after Glastonbury performances
Singers Lewis Capaldi and Lorde have topped the UK charts after their performances at Glastonbury, the Official Charts Company said. Alternative pop star Lorde's new record Virgin reached number one on the album chart after she performed all 11 tracks at a secret set at the Woodsies stage on Saturday. Scottish singer Capaldi also made an emotional return to the Somerset festival last weekend, performing his new song Survive which has since gone to number one on the singles chart. Capaldi performed a 35-minute set at the Pyramid stage, two years after struggling to manage his Tourette syndrome symptoms while singing on the same stage. Speaking to Official Charts, Capaldi thanked fans who had streamed and downloaded Survive, saying it 'really means the world'. 'I've been away for a little while, and to come back to this outpouring of love and support has been absolutely incredible. 'I can't thank everybody enough for all the kind words since Glastonbury – and now this. 'It's been the best week of my life,' he said. Speaking to the festival crowd on Saturday, he said: 'It's so good to be back. I'm not going to say much up here today, because if I do, I think I will probably start crying. 'But it's just amazing to be here with you all, and I can't thank you all enough for coming out and coming and seeing me. 'Second time's a charm on this one, everybody. 'It's just a short set today, but I just wanted to come and kind of finish what I couldn't finish the first time round.' Introducing Survive at the festival, Capaldi became visibly emotional as he said: 'The last two years haven't been the best for me, it's been difficult at times. 'This has been my f****** goal, to get back here,' he added. He ended his performance with Somebody You Loved, the track that Glastonbury crowds helped him to sing when he struggled with his Tourette symptoms in 2023. The condition causes you to make sudden, repetitive sounds or movements and while there is no cure, treatment can help manage the tics, according to the NHS website. Virgin is Lorde's fourth studio album, and her previous three, Pure Heroine (2013), Melodrama (2017) and Solar Power (2021) all reached the top 10 of the UK albums chart. Lorde, 28, whose real name is Ella Yelich-O'Connor, took to the Woodsies stage at Glastonbury on Saturday to perform the album in full to the packed tent and a crowd gathered outside. The New Zealand-born singer pulled her top off to finish with a double hit of Ribs from her debut album Pure Heroine, which she said was first played at Glastonbury in 2017, and Melodrama's Green Light, during which the lasers turned from blue to green. The final song prompted a football terrace-style singalong that almost drowned out Lorde herself. She is best known for songs such as Homemade Dynamite, Solar Power and her second single Royals, which reached number one in the UK singles chart.
