Brazilian star Neymar has admitted that he shaves his legs, but insists that he is not a metrosexual like retired footballer David Beckham.

The former England captain is well known for his groomed style due to his appearances in a number of ad campaigns, including his own underwear line for clothing company H&M.

While Neymar has developed his own reputation of living the high life, the 21-year-old believes that Beckham is "more stylish".

"Yes, it is true that I like to go out and buy new clothes, nice perfumes and hair products," Neymar told Surface. "I also shave my legs for example.

"I do not see myself as a metrosexual, though. That was more something for Beckham, who was more stylish. I might be a bit pretentious, but I don't see that as a problem."

Neymar signed for Barcelona from Santos this summer.
