LONDON:

Football star David Beckham, considered a super dad, is causing a stress epidemic among British fathers who cannot live up to his standards.

Thesun.co.uk reports that 85 per cent of fathers who partcipated in a survey felt pressured to try and match up to Beckham who keeps fit, spends time with his wife and kids, and maintains a professional life. Beckham and wife Victoria have three sons.

The poll was conducted among 4,000 fathers. — HNS
