David Beckham was pictured looking grey-haired and exhausted after a long-haul flight to China.
The legendary footballer, who is known for his youthful appearance and impeccable hair, could barely raise a smile as he gave an interview after stepping off the plane, the Daily Star reported.
But within hours, he again turned back to his usual look after changing into a designer suit.
A witness said that the transformation was amazing and the former footballer was back to his superstar look in no time.
Beckham is in Beijing for the second time in three months to promote football among youngsters.
