Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz have sparked outrage after sharing a video of their disastrous attempt at cooking carbonara—ending with the pasta being tossed into a fire.
The clip, posted to social media, shows the couple laughing as they incinerate the ruined dish, prompting a wave of criticism from followers. Many called the act "tone-deaf" during a time when food waste and rising living costs are major concerns.
Celebrity Excess Under Fire
Fans were quick to point out the stark contrast between the couple’s cavalier attitude and the struggles faced by ordinary families. "People are skipping meals, and they’re burning food for laughs?" wrote one furious commenter.
Others noted that Brooklyn, the son of football legend David Beckham and fashion icon Victoria Beckham, has faced previous backlash for his questionable culinary skills—despite launching a much-mocked cooking show in 2022.
A History of Kitchen Blunders
This isn’t the first time Brooklyn’s cooking has made headlines. His ill-fated "MasterChef"-style series was widely ridiculed for its lack of basic techniques, and critics accused him of using his fame to enter an industry he’s clearly unprepared for.
Meanwhile, Nicola—an actress and heiress—has also faced scrutiny for her own privileged lifestyle, with this latest incident only adding fuel to the fire.
Social Media Backlash
The video quickly went viral, with hashtags like #BeckhamFail and #CarbonaraDisaster trending. Some users even recreated the burnt pasta as a meme, while others called for more responsible behaviour from influencers.
As the controversy grows, one thing is clear: this kitchen disaster has left a bitter taste in the mouths of fans.
