Brooklyn Beckham, the eldest son of football legend David Beckham and fashion icon Victoria Beckham, has found himself in hot water—literally—after a now-viral cooking video left food critics and celebrity chefs unimpressed.
In the controversial clip, the 24-year-old attempted to prepare a classic carbonara, but his unconventional methods—including the use of garlic and cream—sparked outrage among Italian cuisine purists.
Chefs Weigh In
Michelin-starred chefs and culinary experts took to social media to express their dismay. One commented, "This isn’t carbonara—it’s a crime against Italian cuisine." Others pointed out technical errors, from overcooking the pasta to improperly emulsifying the sauce.
The Internet Reacts
Social media users were quick to mock Brooklyn’s efforts, with memes and parodies flooding platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Some defended him, arguing that cooking is a learning process, while others questioned why a celebrity with no formal training was being positioned as a culinary authority.
Brooklyn’s Culinary Journey
This isn’t the first time Brooklyn’s cooking has faced scrutiny. His previous ventures, including a short-lived cooking show and a branded food line, have also drawn mixed reviews. Despite the backlash, he remains passionate about food, often sharing his kitchen experiments online.
Will this latest controversy deter him? Or will he bounce back with a perfected recipe? One thing’s for sure—the internet will be watching.
