David Beckham will be seen meeting a remote man-eating Amazonian tribe in a new TV documentary, it has been revealed.

The former England captain was taken to see the Yanomamis, who live in small villages that borders Brazil and Venezuela, as a part of BBC documentary, Daily Star reported.

The tribe is known for some odd customs like "endocannibalism" i.e eating their own dead, eating termites, marrying off the girls at age 10, men enjoying multiple marriages.

The ritual of endocannibalism is seen as a way of strengthening the tribe and keeping the spirit of the deceased alive.
