A man, who used to be taunted by bullies in school for being fat, lost half of his body weight only to realize that he is the splitting image of footy ace David Beckham.

Nathan Hewitt, from Merthyr Tydfill, South Wales, lost 12-stone and caught eye of a lookalike agency who offered him a job as a Becks impersonator, the Daily Star reported.

He said that he can't complain really, as Beckham is obviously a good looking chap and he used to laugh it off when people started telling him that he looked just like the football star.

Hewitt, who rejected the impersonator job, said that he is happy being himself, but if people mistake him for the former Manchester United star, he is happy with that.

He has now set himself up as a slimming coach with government funding to tackle Britain's childhood obesity crisis.
