Fans have dissected Brooklyn Beckham’s controversial new DoorDash World Cup advert, uncovering what they believe are deliberate digs at his family. The 27-year-old, estranged from his parents David and Victoria for over a year, appears in the commercial smirking and saying: ‘You’re probably wondering why I’m watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home… It’s a long story.’
Clues on the Table
Brooklyn then tosses his football tickets onto a table, which features a stack of unopened letters, a camera, and a silver watch. The words ‘It’s complicated. More soon.’ flash on screen. Viewers quickly noted these items as possible references to the family feud.
A silver men’s watch, believed to be the Patek Philippe Nautilus gifted by his father David, sits prominently. Despite the rift, Brooklyn has been spotted wearing the £220,000 timepiece. Beneath it, unopened letters mirror a recent incident where his sister Harper tried to hand-deliver a letter to his LA home. Brooklyn and his wife were reportedly in New York at the time, and their representatives called the delivery ‘choreographed for the cameras.’ The Beckham camp denied the accusation, calling it ‘incredibly sad’ and stating Harper ‘just desperately misses her brother.’
Snow Globe Coincidence
Fans also spotted a snow globe in the advert, reminiscent of Victoria Beckham’s extensive collection featured in her Netflix documentary. One Instagram user called the ad ‘tasteless,’ while another commented: ‘This sends a public message.’
Brooklyn has been absent from major family events, including Victoria’s documentary premiere, David’s knighting ceremony, and his Hollywood Walk of Fame star unveiling. When asked about the family rift, David told Variety: ‘That’s a private matter.’ In January, Brooklyn stated he does not want to reconcile, saying: ‘I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.’
