LONDON: Football star David Beckham and his wife Victoria rewarded their son with a lizard when he got good grades in school.

David was so proud of his eldest son Brooklyn for scoring top marks in his homework that he

purchased a reptile for the 10-year-old, adding an intimidating pet to the family’s ever-growing mena-gerie, reported contactmusic.com.

“We promised him (Brooklyn) recently that if he will get three ‘As’, we would buy him a bearded dragon lizard, which is my worst nightmare. He came home from school the other day and handed

me three sheets of paper with three A’s on it, so we had to go to (pet shop) Petco,” said David.

“Our house is full of wildlife, crickets, lizards and all sorts, but they deserve it. Brooklyn works hard at school and then does an hour-and-a-half homework every night,” he added.
