The INSIDER Summary:

• David Beckham took six days to build a LEGO Disney castle for his daughter Harper.
• The castle consisted of 4,000 pieces.
• At the start of the project, Beckham posted  “4000 pieces 490 pages of instructions I look confused but I'm so excited.”
• Some fans are now calling the soccer star and model "dad goals."

David Beckham is a footballer, model, philanthropist – and builder.

The famous father-of-four may have found his new calling in life after finishing the construction of his daughter Harper’s LEGO Disney castle.

The former sportsman took six days and worked into the early hours of Tuesday morning to complete the mammoth build before proudly posing topless next to his creation.

He shared the picture on Instagram alongside the caption: “1am done... Someone's gonna have a nice surprise in the morning.”

David took up the challenge six days ago, telling fans he was excited to get to work on the 4,000 piece project.

He posted a picture of himself reading the instruction manual on a sun lounger surrounded by LEGO pieces.

“Page 1 of the Disney castle,” he wrote. “4000 pieces 490 pages of instructions I look confused but I'm so excited.”

Fans were quick to praise his efforts with one commenting “dad goals” while another joked that he had “missed his purpose in life”.

One user wrote: “It's what being a father is all about nice one David great job.”

Another posted: “Great footballer now #Great dad.”

Others were less than impressed by his attempts with one writing: “Did mine in less than 10 hours”. 

David's new found skill appears to have helped him redeem himself after he left "Game of Thrones" fans fuming by posting spoilers on his Instagram account a day before each episode airs in the UK.
