Legendary soccer star David Beckham is building a new Taj Mahal, albeit of a different kind and stuff.

England's popular footballer is a big Lego fan and has tried his hand at building the iconic Taj Mahal now, using his favorite small plastic bricks.

"What would I like to do if I wasn't a footballer? I love drawing cartoons and building Lego with my sons... When I was in Milan, I had a lot of time on my hands and found online that there's a Taj Mahal Lego set you can buy, so I bought it," he told The Sunday Times.

However, Beckham never finished building the 5,900-piece Lego marble mausoleum.

"I only built some of it because I got injured halfway through -- not while building the Lego. I know it's not a career but I love doing it," he added.

He has finally finished building the small plastic version of the marble mausoleum which is now out for production.

The former England football captain feels creating the little structures with the plastic bricks helps with his nerves and deems it as therapeutic.

"The last big thing I made was Tower Bridge. It was amazing. I think Lego sometimes helps to calm me down," he said.
