Nonverbal Communication Analysis No. 3415: David Beckham, John Boyega, Star Wars, Lightsabers and Body Language (VIDEO, PHOTOS)





David Beckham, John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Kylie Minogue and Carrie Fisher were all guests last week on The Graham Norton Show.

When Beckham and Boyega briefly squared off with lightsabers, it led to Beckham displaying an evanescent facial expression - one that is very often misinterpreted or simply not even seen.

During 1:01 - 1:02, David Beckham is show with a "Lateral Lip Purse". A lateral lip purse is a signal of an open, non-secretive decision-making thought process. It's important to never confuse this with a forward lip purse, (which has a strong element of clandestine decision-making).

If you want to see a lateral lip purse - the next time you're at a restaurant, pay attention to others perusing their menus'.





This lateral lip purse (during 1:01 and to Beckham's left) is somewhat difficult to see because of the camera angle.

Mr. Beckham was very probably briefly considering precisely how to show his athletic prowess - but decided against it.
