The Beckhams turned the premiere of their candid new Netflix documentary into a family affair on Tuesday. David Beckham and his wife, fashion designer Victoria Beckham, were joined by their four children – sons Brooklyn and Romeo, daughters Cruz and Harper – on the red carpet at London’s Mayfair Theatre for the screening of the four-part mini-series.
Beckham’s life is fascinating, and the series looks set to give viewers an insight into the former footballer’s illustrious career and his high-profile romance with Victoria. The filmmaking team behind the project includes Oscar-winner Fisher Stevens, who has previously directed shows such as “Palmer” and “The Cove.” The show will be executive produced by Gary Neville, Beckham’s former Manchester United teammate, and Victoria’s sister-in-law Rachel Gardner and her husband Simon Miller.
According to Netflix, the series will feature a mixture of never-before-seen personal archive footage and interviews with key figures who have been part of Beckham’s journey both on and off the pitch. The series will also reflect on some of the most significant events in the British sports star’s glittering career, including his explosive fallout with Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and tabloid allegations of extra-marital affairs.
It’s no secret that David and Victoria have been together for 24 years, and the pair were all smiles on Tuesday as they posed for photographs on the red carpet. The former Spice Girl looked stunning in a sleek white suit, silk-lapeled blazer, and pleated trousers. She wore dainty silver jewelry and pulled her hair into a sleek low bun. Her children were equally stylish, with Brooklyn wearing a blue and white checkered suit with a black jacket, while Romeo opted for a baby pink outfit with a matching leather purse from Victoria’s brand, V-Beckham.
Harper wore a pastel pink dress with a sleeveless bodice and accessorized her look with a delicate chain bracelet, thin pendant necklace, and huggy earrings. Her little sister matched her in a baby-pink outfit, with both girls wearing purses from the brand.
The four-part documentary will take a candid look at the life of the former soccer star, who has become known for his global fame and pop culture icon status as much as his footballing prowess. It will also explore his high-profile romance with Victoria, who helped him achieve enduring success on and off the pitch.
In the film, David opens up about his struggles with depression and the death threats he faced during his peak in the sport, including a noose being hung outside a pub where he was watching a game. He also discusses how his family has been affected by his success and the pressures of a high-profile lifestyle. “I want my kids to see that I love them,” he says. “I love my job, and I do it for them.” “Beckham” will be available to stream on Oct. 4.
