David Beckham is given the ‘perfect face’ based on science – so, do YOU think the footballer looks more attractive?

He’s widely regarded as one of the most handsome men in the world. 

But David Beckham’s iconic look has been transformed by an artist, who has given him the ‘perfect face’ – based on science.

José Antonio Saliba overlaid a face anatomy mask on an image of the footballer and edited his facial features to fit the template designed by the Golden Ratio.

The Golden Ratio is a mathematical equation devised in ancient Greece to determine ‘physical perfection’ by comparing measurements, ratios and symmetry.

The finished project shows Beckham with sharper eyebrows, higher cheekbones, a smaller forehead and perkier eyes. 

However, not everyone is impressed with the result. 

Commenting on the video, one user said: ‘Original face is better than your perfect one,’ while another quipped: ‘U made him a less perfect Beckham.’

So, do you think the footballer looks more or less attractive? 

For example, he was named PEOPLE magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2015.  

‘I never feel that I’m an attractive, sexy person,’ Beckham said at the time.

To see just how good looking Beckham really is, artist José Antonio Saliba turned to the ‘golden ratio’ – a mathematical formula devised in ancient Greece to determine ‘physical perfection’ by comparing measurements, ratios and symmetry.  

During the Renaissance, artists and architects used the equation, also known as Phi, as an aid during the creation of their masterpieces.

Scientists have since adapted the mathematical formula, which equates to 1/1.618, to explain what makes a person beautiful.
