The football player created some difficulties in his life.

Three refrigerators and even numbers are not a limit of David Beckham’s strange obsession. The man’s desire for symmetry is beyond imagination.

In an interview with the British TV channel ITV1 in 2006, Beckham admitted struggling with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The football player mentioned he had to organize everything in a straight line or pairs. David used to put his Pepsi cans in the fridge, and if there were one too many, he would relocate them to another cupboard.

Also, the sportsman spoke about his hotel experience. Before relaxing on the bed, he had to move all the leaflets and books and put them in the drawer. Beckham’s wife, Victoria, revealed having three refrigerators placed in their house, the first one for food, a second for salad, and the third for drinks.

“He got that obsessive-compulsive thing where everything has to match. If you open our fridge, it’s all coordinated down either side. We’ve got three fridges — food in one, salad in another and drinks in the third. In the drinks one, everything is symmetrical. If there’s three cans, he’ll throw one away because it has to be an even number.”
