Soccer star David Beckham
achieved international success
in spite of obsessive-compulsive
disorder by AlissA M. EdwArds

No Laughing Matter
Over the years, even those closest to
Beckham have treated his disorder as
fodder for pranks and jokes. His former
Manchester United teammates would
strategically rearrange things in his
hotel room to upset him.
Beckham's wife also has teased him
about his compulsive organizing, which
includes keeping a separate refrigerator
for drinks and storing them front-facing
and in pairs.
"[If] there's an extra can, I'll take it
out and hide it in another cupboard,"
Beckham said on the British talk show
Friday Night with Jonathan Ross in 2010.

ew would argue that international soccer superstar
David Beckham has led a
charmed life. In addition to
a sensational 21-year soccer career (he
retired in 2013), his iconic good looks
have earned him a modeling career
and endorsements from companies like
Adidas, Samsung and H&M to the tune
of $44 million in 2012 alone.
And he's been equally successful
in his personal life. "Becks" has been
married to former Spice Girl Victoria
"Posh" Adams since 1999. Together,
the couple, who have three sons and
a daughter, enjoy a level of worldwide
celebrity usually reserved for royalty.
But while his life in front of the
cameras may seem perfect, Beckham in
2006 revealed that behind the scenes,
he struggles with obsessive-compulsive
disorder (OCD). OCD is a mental illness characterized by obsessions-
intrusive and distressing thoughts-or
compulsions to perform repetitive or
ritualized behaviors.
"I'm just very obsessive with certain
things, everything has to be in order,"
Beckham told Esquire in 2013. "[I] walk
into a hotel room and before I can get
settled I have to unpack, everything has
to be perfect: the magazines the right
way, the drawers the right way ... it's tiring. But it's more tiring if it's not done
the right way."
