Nicola Peltz Beckham, the actress and wife of Brooklyn Beckham, has received a significant career boost with a high-profile guest role in an upcoming Disney+ thriller. This professional development comes against the backdrop of a reported estrangement from her famous in-laws, David and Victoria Beckham.
A Starring Role in a Major New Series
The new series, titled 'The Beauty', is set to premiere on Disney+ on January 22. The 11-episode thriller will centre on two FBI agents, played by Evan Peters and Rebecca Hall, who investigate a series of mysterious supermodel deaths. Their case leads them to Paris and the discovery of a sexually transmitted virus that grants physical perfection with terrifying consequences.
Nicola Peltz Beckham will appear in a guest capacity alongside other notable cameos from figures including model Bella Hadid and singer Meghan Trainor. The main ensemble also features Ashton Kutcher. The series, created by Murphy and Matthew Hodgson, will release its first three episodes on the launch date, followed by weekly instalments every Thursday.
An Established Acting Career
This Disney+ role adds to Nicola's established acting portfolio. Her most recent project was her directorial debut, Lola, a 2024 film in which she also starred. She revealed that her husband, Brooklyn Beckham, originally had a part in the film but was edited out due to his pronounced British accent.
Her career spans both television and film, with notable roles in major productions. These include a part in 2014's 'Transformers: Age of Extinction', a starring role in the 2020 Netflix film 'Holidate', and a recurring character on the psychological horror series 'Bates Motel'. She began acting as a child, with an early credit in the 2006 comedy 'Deck the Halls'.
The Beckham Family Dynamics
The news of Nicola's career move arrives amidst ongoing reports of a feud within the Beckham family. The rift reportedly began in May when Brooklyn and Nicola did not attend David Beckham's 50th birthday celebration, an event attended by all of Brooklyn's siblings. Sources have been divided on the cause, with some suggesting tension between Nicola and her in-laws.
While neither Brooklyn nor his parents have publicly addressed the situation, recent social media activity hints at potential reconciliation. David Beckham's mother, Sandra, recently commented on a post by Brooklyn, playfully asking if a gift he was wrapping was for her. This has been interpreted by many as an olive branch.
Furthermore, Victoria Beckham shared a video from her mother's house showing Christmas stockings hung for all the grandchildren, including one clearly labelled with Brooklyn's name, indicating he remains in their thoughts for the festive season.
