Beckham now looks as good as he did in his heyday.
From David Beckham to Paul Maldini, look at former soccer stars who remained elite after their careers...
David Beckham
Believe it or not, seven years ago, football's number one icon, David Beckham, retired from Paris Saint-Germain.
Still, the 46-year-old Bex maintains the physique of a footballer.
Now he is the owner of MLS team Miami International.
Beckham remains a very marketable name, often appearing in film commercials, including the role in 2015's Uncle's Man.
Paul Maldini
Paolo Maldini went shirtless on Miami Beach.
It can be said that Maldini looks stronger now than he did when he was a player.
Now 53-year-old Maldini is still at his best.
The AC Milan legend has spent his entire career in San Siro and is arguably the best defender ever.
Despite retiring in 2009, Maldini remained healthy, turning his hand to professional tennis and participating in the 2017 Aspria Tennis Cup in Milan.
Maldini is now back at AC Milan as Technical Director.
