But 13 years on, the ponytail was back - albeit shorter and tucked in more - as David took to the red carpet.

The 42-year-old looked dapper in a classic black tuxedo and bow tie as he joined a bevvy of pretty models for a picture.

David posed in the middle of the smiling women, who were all made up for the show but still sporting their casual off-duty clothes.

He later bumped into legendary actor Dustin Hoffman, who greeted him warmly with a smile and a handshake.

David then went one better and got a big hug from Eva Longoria - his wife Victoria's BFF.

The pair warmly embraced, with David grinning as he wrapped his arms around the actress, who is an old pal of the ex Spice Girl.

David's visit to Cannes comes almost two weeks after Piers Morgan took a pop at him on Good Morning Britain over his cameo in Guy Ritchie's latest movie, King Arthur.

Piers, who has never been one to hold back his opinion of the Beckhams, joked his cameo in the film was the reason for its lacklustre box office performance.

He said: "Unfortunately King Arthur has sunk like a stone at the box office, apparently bringing a dramatic shuddering halt to the Beckham movie career.

"If you put someone front and centre like that, that's the problem isn't it, he does get the blame. If he's like, 'I'm now a movie star' and it tanks. Anyway, thoughts with David at this difficult time."

It comes as it was revealed the franchise is set to be scrapped, after his new movie Legend of the Sword became the biggest box office flop of the year.

Studio Warner Brothers had initially planned a six-film King Arthur series, with Charlie Hunnam in the leading role alongside Jude Law, Aidan Gillen and Eric Bana.

But the debut instalment, which cost a massive £135million, made just £12million in its opening weekend at the US box office - one of the worst openings ever for a big-budget studio event film.
