Brooklyn Beckham

Brooklyn Joseph Peltz Beckham ( Beckham; born 4 March 1999) is a British media personality. He has worked as a model, photographer, and created a cooking show which aired in 2022. He is the eldest child of former professional footballer David Beckham and fashion designer and former Spice Girls member Victoria Beckham.

Brooklyn Joseph Beckham was born on 4 March 1999 at the Portland Hospital in London, the first child of Victoria (née Adams) and David Beckham. It has been reported that he was named Brooklyn because Victoria found out about her pregnancy in Brooklyn, New York. However, according to his mother's 2001 autobiography, Learning to Fly, she and her husband simply liked the name. His mother recalled that it was only after choosing the name they "realised how appropriate it was because it was in New York that she found out she was pregnant and where David came after the World Cup".

Beckham spent his childhood in Madrid and Los Angeles, while his father played for Real Madrid and LA Galaxy. He has three younger siblings: brothers Romeo and Cruz, and sister Harper. In December 2004, Brooklyn and Romeo were jointly baptised in a private chapel on the grounds of their parents' Hertfordshire mansion. His godparents are Elton John, David Furnish and Elizabeth Hurley.

At the age of 15, Beckham worked weekend shifts at a coffee shop in West London. He played in the Arsenal F.C. Academy, but left in 2015 after not receiving a scholarship.

Beckham began modeling professionally in 2014, and has appeared in editorials and on covers for Vogue China, Miss Vogue, Interview, L'Uomo Vogue, T:The New York Times Style Magazine and Dazed Korea. He has been photographed by Bruce Weber, Terry Richardson, Daniel Jackson and Alasdair McLellan.

Beckham has been a brand ambassador for Huawei and its Honor 8 smartphones alongside Scarlett Johansson, Karlie Kloss and Henry Cavill. He was a brand ambassador for Superdry in 2021.

In 2016, at the age of 16, Beckham photographed a campaign for Burberry BRIT, with models Ben Rees, Carvell Conduah, Eliza Thomas, Liv Mason Pearson and Maddie Demaine. Beckham's hiring for the campaign was criticised by several prominent photographers. Chris Floyd called Burberry's decision to employ Beckham a "devaluation of photography" and "sheer nepotism", while fashion photographer Jon Gorrigan called it an example of "a bit of injustice in a lot of areas" of the industry.

In 2017, Beckham began a photography degree at Parsons School of Design at the New School in New York. He failed to complete the first year of the four-year course and subsequently abandoned his degree. Beckham's first book of photography, titled What I See, was published in June 2017. Critical reactions were negative. A handful of leaked photographs became the focus of ridicule on Twitter, with users lampooning the "terrible photographs and even worse captions". Random House, Beckham's publisher, defended the book as reflecting the interests of his teenage fan base. In 2019, Beckham interned for British photographer Rankin.
