In “Beckham,” the new Netflix docuseries chronicling the famous footballer’s life and career, David Beckham and his wife Victoria Beckham, aka Posh Spice, each tell their respective sides of their love story. But one particular interview with Victoria caused David to step in and set the facts straight.
In the series’ first episode, Victoria explains what initially drew her to David, saying: “I think also we both come from families that work really hard. Both of our parents work very hard, we’re very working class.”
David then pops his head in the door from the other room and sternly tells Victoria: “Be honest!”
“I am being honest,” she replies. But David counters, “What car did your dad drive you to school in?”
Though Victoria says “it’s not a simple answer” and “it depends,” David insists and she eventually relents, admitting: “OK, in the ’80s my dad had a Rolls Royce.”
David and Victoria met at a football match in 1997 and soon became a hot topic in the U.K. press, which dubbed them Posh and Becks. The couple married in 1999 and share four children: Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper.
In an interview with Variety, “Beckham” director Fisher Stevens said that he spent over 30 hours interviewing David Beckham for the docuseries, and 14 hours with Victoria. All that time with the couple led to some funny on-screen banter between the two, which was of course caught on-camera.
“It hasn’t all been rosy with his relationship with Victoria. There’s constant controversy,” Stevens said. “Frankly, I was quite moved by their relationship at the end of the day, and — after all they’ve been through — how much they love each other, and how close they are.”
“Beckham” is now streaming on Netflix.
