MLS. Antonela shows off beauty secret to keep Messi in love with her
Cruz Beckham, the 18-year-old son of football legend David Beckham, gained a newfound appreciation for his father’s talents through Netflix’s docuseries chronicling the athlete’s illustrious career.
Victoria Beckham revealed in an interview with Allure that Cruz had an enlightening experience watching the four-part documentary, which delves into David Beckham’s journey to becoming one of football’s greatest icons during his tenure with Manchester United .
“Cruz, our youngest son, said, ‘Wow, I had no idea Dad was so good at football,’ ” Victoria said.
Even the documentary’s director, Fisher Stevens, initially underestimated David Beckham’s impact, revealing in an October interview with PEOPLE that he, like Cruz, didn’t fully grasp the extent of the star’s greatness until compiling the footage.
“I started digging around and then I met with him and I said basically, ‘You were really good,’ ” Stevens said.
“He wasn’t what I expected at all. He was so open. He’s like, I’m ready. I want to tell my story before someone else does.
“And then I started doing research and I was like, ‘Jesus, this guy’s life is nuts. Nuts.’ I had no idea. And then when I met with him and Victoria, I was like, oh my God, they’re going to be fun. They’re going to be good. They’re going to be fun and they’re going to be difficult and it’s going to be great,” the filmmaker continued.”
The documentary not only provided an insight into David Beckham’s career but also showcased the Beckham family in a different light, prompting positive reactions from viewers.
Victoria shared anecdotes of receiving compliments from young fans who appreciated the documentary’s portrayal of the family.
