Usually when we see a picture of David Beckham, we have to have a word with ourselves. Today? Not so much.

Normally a dab hand at looking smouldering in front of the camera, Becks posted this snap of himself looking quite frightening on Instagram.

No doubt, he made all 34.6m of his followers do a double-take as they scrolled through their feeds.

But don't fret readers, his beautiful, beautiful face will soon be back to its best.

Alongside the caption "Rough day at the office", Becks tagged his best mate, film director and Madonna's ex, Guy Ritchie. And Ritchie's latest movie, King Arthur.

Looks like Golden Balls has been in the prosthetics chair, transforming in to that well known character "Blackleg leader". No, us neither.

And if Becks needs some acting tips, he's in the right place. Jude Law and Charlie Hunman will be starring alongside him in the film, which will be released in May.

Let's all soothe our eyes with this picture until normal service is resumed...
