Romeo Beckham has attempted sumo wrestling during a trip to Japan with his girlfriend Kim Turnbull, admitting he “didn’t stand a chance” against a champion wrestler. The 23-year-old model visited the Tatsunami sumo stable in Tokyo, a 150-year-old institution known for housing some of Japan’s top sumo wrestlers.
Romeo took on Hōshōryū Tomokatsu, described as the “champ,” and later shared his defeat on Instagram. Alongside a photo of himself being lifted by the wrestler, he wrote: “Didn’t stand a chance,” with a laughing emoji, adding: “And met the champ.” Fans responded with amusement, with one commenting: “Hahahahah. This is so good.”
This follows the Beckham family’s recent appearance in Paris, where Romeo walked in a catwalk show during Paris Fashion Week. His mother, Victoria Beckham, was made a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters by French Culture Minister Rachida Dati on 26 January, with Romeo, Cruz, Harper, and David all in attendance.
The Tokyo trip comes amid an ongoing family feud, after eldest son Brooklyn Beckham posted a six-page statement accusing his parents of being controlling. He alleged that Victoria backed out of making his wife Nicola Peltz’s wedding dress and “hijacked” the first dance. Brooklyn also claimed that Romeo and Cruz were sent to “attack” him on social media before being blocked.
