Russell Brand wants to 'eat an egg' off David Beckham's stomach

British comedian Russell Brand has admitted that he has had fantasies about eating food off the stomach of Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder David Beckham.

The 27-year-old, who was once married to American singer Katy Perry, believes that the former England captain, who has an underwear range for retailer H&M, is a "god".

"David Beckham is a god," The Metro quotes Brand as saying. "Just look at him in those underwear ads. I'm not gay but I would eat food off his body. Preferably something that needs to be mopped up, like egg. I'd eat it off his stomach."

Meanwhile, the 37-year-old player is believed to have enrolled his daughter Harper in dance lessons.
