His bodyguards can protect him from terrorist attacks, but apparently David Beckham is helpless to prevent random assault on his most vulnerable citizens — his testicles. By now you may know that Beckham was grabbed in the nether region by a woman during an Italian TV interview on Thursday; he’s on loan to AC Milan, and apparently they were just making sure they received the entire package. Anyway, the Italian station responsible for the prank has apologized.
Video following the jump.
Here’s a YouTube version.
The AC Milan midfielder was visibly angered when Elena Di Cioccio, who fronts the popular show “Le Iene (The Hyenas)” on Italia Uno, made her move while the soccer player was being interviewed by another person Wednesday. Security immediately hustled the 34-year-old Beckham into a nearby hotel.
Beckham was indeed visibly horrified by the grab, but said late Thursday that he’s willing to forget all about it. The worst part to me was that the woman used plastic gloves.
