Is David Beckham falling apart?!

Yesterday, the 38-year-old former soccer star admitted that he struggles to keep up with 11-year-old son Romeo during their morning runs. And now, Victoria Beckham's hunky hubby is revealing he can barely watch TV or movies without crying!

"I'm kind of an emotional wreck with movies," Becks told BBC Radio 1's Nick Grimshaw while promoting his Manchester United documentary Class of '92. "I can't get through some movies without shedding a tear, I can't lie."

Beckham mentioned the flick Armageddon gets him every time. But it's not just movies.

"I'm the same when I'm watching The Office or when I'm watching Friends," Beckham revealed. "I just can't get through it"

The same goes for Class of '92, which reunited Beckham with his former Manchester United soccer teammates. He said of filming the flick, "I got emotional, I got really emotional throughout, obviously not in front of the lads because they'd have killed me. You can't do that. We're men! But I got emotional filming it."

He added, "I showed the boys the trailer the other day and I kind of got choked up."

Yesterday, Beckham recalled trying to keep up with Romeo during a recent workout, saying, "At 6 a.m. on the dot, I felt a tug on my arm and I heard, 'Daddy, it's time to get up. He's one of those annoying runners who always wants to be one step in front of you. We ran three-and-a-half miles and the third mile was the quickest of all of them. I was breathing hard."

"[Romeo] was a step ahead of me the whole way," he added. "My drive must have rubbed off on him. I was very proud of him."
