From Soccer Star to Photographer: David Beckham's Influence
Photography has been a lifelong interest for Brooklyn, and he credits his dad, David Beckham, for sparking that passion. At the tender age of 14, David gifted his son his first camera, setting him on a creative path. "I do backstage photography at my mom’s [fashion] shows, and I mean, I love doing it — but my mom’s like, 'Go take pictures of the models!' and I’m a bit shy," Brooklyn confessed. "So I kind of have to get the first two out of the way, and then I’m used to it." It’s clear that both parents have played a significant role in shaping Brooklyn’s interests and talents.

While Brooklyn is making headlines for his academic pursuits, he’s not the only Beckham kid stealing the spotlight.

David built her a massive Lego Disney castle, complete with 4,000 pieces and a whopping 490 pages of instructions. "Page 1 of the Disney castle, 4,000 pieces, 490 pages of instructions, I look confused but I’m so excited," David captioned a photo of himself unboxing the project. Hours later, the proud father returned to Instagram to showcase the finished masterpiece. "1am — done. Someone’s gonna have a nice surprise in the morning," he wrote. Talk about going above and beyond for your kids!
Of course, Harper isn’t the only sibling reaping the benefits of being part of the Beckham family. David and Victoria also share two other sons, Romeo Beckham, 14, and Cruz Beckham, 12, who are no strangers to luxury and love. Whether it’s building castles or cheering on their siblings’ achievements, the Beckhams continue to prove that family truly comes first.
