Brooklyn Beckham's Lucrative DoorDash Deal
Brooklyn Beckham has reportedly earned a staggering $1 million (£753,000) for his controversial DoorDash advert, which humorously references his explosive family drama with parents David and Victoria Beckham. The 27-year-old sparked widespread discussion with the World Cup-themed commercial, where he jokes about watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home despite having tickets, adding, "It's a long story."
Advert Content and Fan Reactions
The promotional clip, shared on TikTok and Instagram, shows Brooklyn relaxing at home while waiting for a DoorDash delivery. He addresses the camera, saying, "You're probably wondering why I'm watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home. It's not like I don't have tickets. Um, it's because … it's a long story." The advert is part of a campaign where DoorDash hides World Cup tickets around American cities for fans to claim. Football fans have been divided, with some calling it "cheesy" but "funny," while others criticized the trivialization of family issues.
Financial Details and Source Claims
According to PageSix, a source close to Brooklyn confirmed the payment, stating, "It's a little cheesy. Anything that makes him money is good - it shows that his brand is there and flourishing." The Mirror has contacted a representative of Brooklyn for comment. This payday comes amid a highly publicized feud with his parents, which Brooklyn detailed in a series of Instagram Stories.
Background of the Family Feud
Brooklyn previously accused his parents of being obsessed with fame and money and claimed they tried to sabotage his marriage to Nicola Peltz, 31, a billionaire heiress. In a lengthy statement, he wrote, "For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into." He alleged that his family tried to force him to sign away the rights to his own name and that Victoria called him "evil" for wanting his grandmother at the top table during his wedding.
Specific Allegations and Impact
Brooklyn claimed his mother hijacked his first dance with his wife, describing it as "inappropriate" and humiliating. He also stated that his siblings were weaponized against him to attack him on social media. He concluded, "My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want is peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family." The advert has further fueled speculation about the rift, but the substantial paycheck indicates Brooklyn's ability to leverage the controversy for financial gain.
