Soccer star David Beckham, who is living in Los Angeles for five years, says he is losing his London accent.
The British-born footballer moved there with wife Victoria in 2007 to play for LA Galaxy and said he started to talk like an American, Femalefirst reported.
"I catch myself calling my kids "dude" every once in a while, so there are a few words creeping in. And using American words like elevator instead of lift," he said.
Since departing the UK, 37-year-old Victoria has left behind her Spice Girl roots and forged a successful career for herself as a fashion designer.
And according to David, their sons Brooklyn, 13, Romeo, nine, and six-year-old Cruz have inherited their mother's sense of style.
"They're at the age when they want to wear their own things. You've got the oldest, Brooklyn, and he'll wear his soccer shirts and a T-shirt.
"Romeo is the fashion one, so he'll go in and pick up skinny jeans and a vintage T-shirt and a funny hat. Cruz loves Justin Bieber, so anything he's got Cruz wants, like the big high-tops with skinny jeans. They all have their own style."
