Brooklyn Beckham keen to ‘make a name’ for himself to make his kids proud

Brooklyn Beckham has revealed what drives him, and it’s very sweet.

The 25-year-old eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, online chef and hot sauce businessman, has shared that he is exploring his work options in order to make his future children proud (who he is ready for, by the way).

Having been royally ripped online for his various business endeavours – including a stint in photography, which he admits now he wasn’t passionate enough about – and his bumpy foray into the cheffing world, Brooklyn has opened up about his ultimate goal.

Asked why he so publicly dabbled in different ventures, thus opening himself up to online scrutiny, Brooklyn responded: ‘I’ve never been that lazy person to just sit back and just do nothing.’

He continued to Grazia: ‘I really want to make a name for myself. I want my kids to grow up and be like, “My daddy did that.” That’s what I think about.’

This might come sooner rather than later, as Brooklyn also said he is ready for kids whenever his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham is.

‘I’ve always wanted to be a young dad. I love that my dad’s young. He was like my mate,’ Brooklyn said, also confessing he wants to replicate his own childhood, as the Spice Girl, 50, and Manchester United ex-footballer David, 49, were the ‘best [parents] ever.’

The famous couple were just in their early 20s when they welcomed Brooklyn, before going on to have Romeo, 22, Cruz, 19, and Harper, 13.

Fashion brand owner Victoria and former Real Madrid footballer David went on their first date in 1997, and were engaged a year later, when they also announced they were expecting Brooklyn.

Having welcomed Brooklyn in March 1999, just four months later the lovebirds married in a lavish and now historically iconic wedding, which saw them propped up on two thrones to match their pop culture A-list status.

From one of the most famous babies in the world, Brooklyn has grown into the ultimate adult nepo baby, which has brought him some mockery online.

While trying to launch his online cheffing career, Brooklyn managed to produce a ‘raw’ roast beef, and was bombarded with jokes when he taught viewers how to make a sandwich.

His most recent culinary mishap saw the eldest Beckham make pizzas in a woodfire oven to show off his new £15 hot sauce that’s being rolled out in Wholefoods – except the Italian dish was burnt.

Elsewhere in his interview, Brooklyn said he’d never worked so hard on anything other than he has on his hot sauce, called Cloud23.

It’s advertised as having been crafted from his ‘journey as a tastemaker’ and is infused with ‘soul and excitement.’

It seems Brooklyn is also set on proving his vocal critics wrong too, as well as his unborn children.

While Brooklyn said he understood the nepo baby world can be irksome for people, he can’t help being born.

He previously told Insider he’s used to all the hate from his culinary adventures.

‘It doesn’t really bother me,’ Brooklyn insisted. ‘Cooking makes me happy. I have more important things to worry about than people saying a little bit of rubbish about me.’

He then addressed his critics directly, and said: ‘My message to them is to keep writing whatever they want to write,’.’

Brooklyn argued that there ‘are always going to be people who try and pull you down.’

‘I’m doing my thing and working my bum off,’ he said. ‘So they can keep writing what they want, but it’s not going to bother me – I’m just going to keep doing my thing.’
