David Beckham couldn't help himself when he noticed son Romeo had posted his new haircut on social media.

The 18-year-old took to Instagram on Sunday to share his new stylish look with his almost three million followers.

And while fans flocked to the post to praise the platinum blonde buzz cut, dad David had other ideas.

Romeo looked typically trendy as he posed for the camera at a garden table.

And his new cut distinctly resembled one of David's famous styles - much to his dad's liking.

The former footballer was quick to comment on the post: "Nice hair @romeobeckham I wonder where u got that idea from."

And fans of the former England captain lapped up the sarcasm as the comment quickly totted up thousands of likes.

Romeo's new style was a mirror image of his dad's 2007 cut which he styled while trying to captain his country to glory.

Mum Victoria Beckham also seemed to approve of her middle son's new look. She commented on the post: "Wow!!!! Love!!!"

And Romeo's girlfriend Mia Regan also showed how appreciation with a simple loving emotion.

However, while many praised his dad as being his inspiration, others joked that he looked like "Slim Shady".

The new do isn't the first time the teenager has appeared to mimic his dad's famous hairstyles.

In May last year, the youngster shared a snap where he had cornrows much like his dad's 2003 look.

He has also previously rocked the man bun like his 46-year-old dad.

Earlier this week, Romeo also took to social media to share his love for his partner.
