Brooklyn Beckham has been accused of 'cashing in' on family drama after making a controversial dig at parents in a new advert. Five months have now passed since Brooklyn Beckham torched his family with a shocking and scathing statement as he addressed those rumours of a feud with his parents.
There were dozens of takeaways from his mega rant, which included a promise not to reconcile with his family after saying he had been 'controlled' by his mum and dad, Sir David and Victoria Beckham. He accused his mother of wrecking his first dance with new wife Nicola at their wedding and trying to split the pair up.
The 27-year-old has now hit the headlines once again as he shared his role in a new advert that saw him ask: 'You're probably wondering why I'm watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home.' Laughing and throwing World Cup tickets onto his coffee table, he said it was a 'long story'.
But the very public - and very well paid - job is at odds with the remarks about seizing his privacy and denouncing his family that he made in that bombshell statement back in January. '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,' said Brooklyn in his jaw-dropping attack on his superstar parents.
People have been quick to pick up on the fact that his demands for a life of 'privacy' not shaped around 'image' or the 'press' now includes signing up for a World Cup advert for a food delivery service. They are also wondering if his brief appearance on the DoorDash ad can be considered as 'work' for the 27-year-old. Brooklyn, whose wife is the daughter of American businessman and investor Nelson Peltz who is worth $1.5bn (£1.12bn), said last week that he hasn't worked for five years.
Brooklyn, whose personal net worth is believed to be approximately £7.48m, has dabbled in several careers over the years – among them photography and modelling. Yet he is now wholly dedicated to his hot sauce venture. 'Four years ago I was trying to work out what I wanted to do with my life, what I wanted to do for work,' he said. 'Basically my wife and I got really drunk in our apartment while making hot sauce. I watched a short little video on how to make it and the next day I tried it again.'
'I really wanted to see what I could create,' he told the audience at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York on Monday. 'I really wanted to see what I could create. I'm always calling the CEO on Sunday at 10pm with a crazy idea of what direction we might go in or a condiment idea. I'll call with a ridiculous idea.' He also acknowledged that he 'can come across as annoying sometimes'.
