Brooklyn Beckham: I didn’t realise my parents were famous until I was 13
Brooklyn Beckham only realised his parents were famous four years ago.
The 17-year-old star – who is the eldest son of soccer star David Beckham and pop star turned fashion designer Victoria Beckham – has confessed he only realised how famous they were when he went to a football game with his father at the age of 13.
He told the Spring issue of Wonderland magazine: "I didn’t actually know that they were big until I was about 13 … I went to a football game and people were shouting my dad’s name and I was like, ‘What?! Oh my God.’ I don’t look at them like that."
The family are incredibly close knit and the 42-year-old fashion designer previously admitted her children have a "better social life" than her.
Victoria – who also has Romeo, 14, Cruz, 11, and Harper, five with her husband David – said: "[Harper] works very hard at school and is very sociable, so has a lot of friends. She has a better social life than I do! My children are all very happy and that’s the most crucial thing – they are happy, confident and secure in themselves."
Her comments come after she revealed she doesn’t have much of a social life herself anyway because her four children are her "first priority" in life.
She added: "[I don’t] have a social life. My four children and David are my first priority. When there’s a play on or a parent/teacher meeting, I’m there. David and I are rarely away at the same time. We do the homework, the bath time and the bed time. Paying someone to do those things for you to make your life easier isn’t wrong but they’re important to me."
And Victoria is thrilled to see her children taking an interest in different things and praised Brooklyn’s passion for photography.
She shared: "Brooklyn wants to be a photographer, he loves art. Obviously he shot the fragrance campaign for Burberry, so maybe he’ll be a fashion photographer.
"Romeo enjoyed working with Burberry too, and Harper and Cruz are too young to tell, but they love fashion. They all take a lot of pride in the way they look. When we go out for dinner as a family, they all put their little looks together. Cruz spends a lot of time making sure his hair is just right."
