Biography |
Calum Milan Best (born 6 February 1981 in San José,
California) is a British former fashion model turned
celebrity, and television personality. He is best known for
being the son of Irish football legend George Best from his
father's marriage to Angela MacDonald-James. His personal
life is frequently featured in tabloid newspapers and
celebrity based magazines in the UK.
He has the middle name Milan, after his Godfather Milan
Mandarić, his father's lifelong friend, and chairman of
Portsmouth Football Club. He once had tryouts for Manchester
United, and even Sir Alex Ferguson, the team's manager, went
to watch him play, but he chose to pursue modelling instead
of football, fearing that he would constantly be compared to
his father.
Most notoriously, he was allegedly caught on CCTV outside of
a West End nightclub in a compromising position with
Elizabeth Jagger in 2005.
In 2005, Best was named Company magazine's Bachelor of the
year.
Best has taken part in the Reality TV shows Fool Around on
E4 and The Match on Sky One, featured as a guest panellist
on an episode of Big Brother's EForum and in 2005 and 2006
he was featured in ITV1's Celebrity Love Island, winning the
second series on 28 August 2006. Around the same time he
played himself in the last ever episode of ITV1's cult drama
series Footballers' Wives.
In September 2006, Best appeared in the ITV2 series Calum,
Fran and Dangerous Danan, in which he was seen travelling
with fellow Love Island Alumni Paul Danan and Fran Cosgrave
from Texas to Los Angeles on America's Route 66.
In late 2006, Best launched a limited edition men's cologne
called "Calum".
In January 2007, online reports have suggested that Calum
had only been left a watch by his father George in his will,
because all the money that would be left after debts were
finalized would go to George Best's sister, Barbara McNarry.
In May 2007, British tabloids published photgraphs of Best
having sex with two female prostitutes in a London hotel, as
well as snorting cocaine with them. This came only a week
after his fling with Lindsay Lohan ended. |
