The veil is finally lifting on one of Britain's most iconic power couples. Netflix has dropped the first explosive trailer for its hotly anticipated documentary, Beckham, and it promises a raw, unfiltered look into the lives of Victoria and David Beckham like never before.
In a moment sure to send shockwaves through their fanbase, Victoria, the formidable fashion mogul and former Spice Girl, makes a stunning confession about the origins of her world-famous persona. "I became Posh Spice because of you lot," she declares directly to the camera, addressing the media and public who crowned her. The label, she implies, was a creation not entirely her own.
But the real revelation comes when she discloses her husband's secret loathing for the nickname that defined her for a generation. "David hated the name 'Posh'," she admits, pulling back the curtain on the private tensions behind their polished public image.
The four-part series, expertly helmed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Fisher Stevens, delves deep into the couple's meteoric rise from humble beginnings to global superstardom. It traces David's journey from a talented young footballer in London to a Manchester United legend and international icon, all while navigating the blinding glare of the paparazzi spotlight.
Victoria is equally candid about the immense strain of building their empire, famously dubbed 'Brand Beckham'. "The struggle of being that famous... when we were together, the press, the pressure... it was hard," she reflects, offering a rare glimpse into the personal cost of their very public life.
The trailer is packed with never-before-seen archival footage, from home videos of a fresh-faced, tracksuit-clad David to intimate family moments with their four children: Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper. It teases a story not just of fame and fashion, but of resilience, partnership, and the relentless pursuit of a dream against all odds.
For fans of pop culture, football, and high-fashion drama, this documentary is poised to be the must-watch event of the year. Beckham arrives on Netflix this October, ready to rewrite everything you thought you knew about Britain's first family of cool.
