David Beckham is a football legend, family man, and documentary filmmaker. However, he has also disclosed that he is occasionally a criminal and a cowboy.

The former captain of Manchester United and England has disclosed that he becomes so enamoured with specific television programs that he frequently takes on the roles of their central characters.

David says his fashion choices inevitably draw derision from his wife Victoria but come from a lifelong obsession with telly

David, 49, asserts that his wife Victoria, 50, mocks him inevitably; however, he maintains that it is a result of his lifelong fixation on television.

He stated at the Royal Television Society Convention yesterday, “I grew up in the Seventies, Eighties, and Nineties, so I am accustomed to watching Only Fools And Horses, Fawlty Towers, Minder, and similar shows.”

“Now, I am a fan of Peaky Blinders, and Victoria will always laugh at me because I appear to transform into a character whenever I am watching a television show.”

“In the case of Peaky Blinders, I opted for the “not any particular character” approach.” I simply donned Peaky Blinders attire. Subsequently, we viewed Yellowstone, and I assumed the role of a rancher, which I believe she did enjoy.

David’s most recent position as a documentary filmmaker with Studio 99, a production company, is a direct result of his passion for television. This month, Studio 99 was awarded an Emmy for their autobiographical Netflix film, Beckham.

He acknowledged at the RTS summit that it was occasionally challenging to throw open the doors of his home in a manner that was unprecedented.

However, he also acknowledged that he comprehended the fascination of admirers with the couple and their children, Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 19, and their daughter Harper, who has recently turned 13.

David addressed the topic of being a Beckham in the era of social media, stating, “I have three handsome boys who captivate a significant number of individuals, and a stunning young girl who has yet to garner any interest.”

“I am endeavouring to maintain this status.” In reality, they are likely already intrigued in her; however, we will refrain from discussing it.

David explained that his passion for documentaries is a contributing factor to the volume of social media content he produces, which frequently showcases his current rural lifestyle in the Cotswolds.

He stated, “Victoria was quite angry with me over the weekend regarding the’vegetable post.’” I am currently engaged in a comprehensive gardening endeavour, and I had been abroad for the summer. Upon my return, I was astounded by the proliferation of artichokes and kale.

Victoria posted about an hour later, asking, “Where has my husband gone?” after I decided to go out early on Sunday morning and shoot a film with me. Are you aware of this individual? “He used to ride bicycles.”

“In reality, she was likely not angry; rather, she was adamant about ceasing the posts.”

As evidenced by David’s most recent supply of honey, which he presented onstage at the RTS Convention, even Victoria is captivated by the rural lifestyle.

I was raised in the Seventies, Eighties, and Nineties, so I am accustomed to viewing shows such as Minder, Only Fools and Horses, and Fawlty Towers.

David’s “Sticky Stuff” is a well-known term that has been humorously rebranded as “Sticky Vicky Honey” in honour of their 25th wedding anniversary.

However, David acknowledges that it was difficult to disclose his innermost thoughts in his Beckham documentary for Netflix last year, despite the fact that they have shared more of their lives on social media.

He stated, “It took me a considerable amount of time to accept the fact that I would succeed.” However, there were several factors why we desired to do so.

“When I retired from football, I was not prepared to discuss my career. However, the pandemic and subsequent time passed before the documentary industry truly took off.”

“I reflected, ‘It is approaching the tenth anniversary of my retirement.’” I believe that this is the appropriate moment.

The four-parter, which was released in October of last year, was one of the streamer’s most significant successes of the year.

Nevertheless, David claimed, “I cannot deny that it caused me anxiety and concern.” Victoria experienced anxiety as a result of this, as individuals may believe they possess a comprehensive understanding of us, but this is not the case.

“We do not typically allow those doors to open to the house, but I was aware that the moment was opportune.”

“The outcomes were exceedingly challenging; however, I delighted in them.” There were instances in which I discussed topics that I had never previously discussed.

“I was discussing periods in my professional life during which social media was not present.” I was aware of all the things that were said about me; however, Alex Ferguson, the manager of [Manchester United], would turn to me and say, “Don’t read the papers today.” Engage in recreational activities.

Currently, I am a fan of Peaky Blinders, and Victoria will always find it amusing that I appear to transform into a character whenever I am viewing a television show.

“When it came to this documentary, I declared, ‘I will not view anything until it is released.’” I refrained from participating in the editing process.

“I did not observe any injuries.” A peculiar footage was observed by me. I relinquished control to Fisher Stevens, the director.

“When I first encountered him, I thought, ‘This is the man who is likely to cause me discomfort.’ I believe that I was required to experience discomfort in order to create the documentary we produced.”

“I required a director who would approach the matter from a distinct perspective.” I required an individual such as him to elicit a unique aspect of me, as everyone is aware of my professional and personal life.

“It was quite emotional.” I was aware that I would only succeed once, and I would do so in the manner that was appropriate for me.

David’s subsequent significant obstacle is twofold: maintaining Mrs. Beckham’s satisfaction and producing another exceptional documentary through Studio 99.

Victoria’s self-titled fashion and beauty empire has grown from a challenging debut to a massive success, and the production company is currently developing a new program about it.

David expressed his enthusiasm for this particular individual, stating, “She is an extraordinary woman.” She is a person who is dedicated, passionate, and strong, and she has transitioned from being a Spice Girl to being respected in this industry.

“That is exceedingly challenging.” She has dedicated the past 17 or 18 years to her business, and now, all of a sudden, she is experiencing the success that she truly deserves.

“No one truly observes the extent of her efforts, from the manner in which she seats her audience to the attire she opts for during the performances.”

“I desire for others to observe that.” Although it was challenging to persuade her, I believe she had played a significant role in the Netflix process and was of the opinion that “I love these people and the way they work.”

“It is an exciting time because I believe she is going to accomplish something truly unique, and her work ethic and personality will be evident to others.”

David was asked if he would be providing Victoria with notes during the production of the new documentary. He responded, “Me, give my wife notes?” Are you acquainted with my wife?

“In reality, I am quite enthusiastic about providing her with notes.”

BECKS’ SECRET STYLE INSPO Following David’s admission that he frequently emulates the characters he observes on television, we examine other programs that may have served as inspiration for his extensive wardrobe selections over the years.

David appears to be adopting the complete farmer look in an attempt to emulate Clarkson’s Farm star Jeremy, which is convenient given that they are now friends and neighbours in the Cotswolds.

AS a true son of the Seventies, it was inevitable Becks would go for the chunky white cardi look sported by Paul Michael Glaser – aka Detective Dave Starsky– in TV’s Starsky and Hutch.

BECKS is channelling Ground Force here in a similar pose to star Charlie Dimmock. Charlie famously went braless in the BBC gardening show. Hopefully Becks isn’t wearing a bra in this snap either.
