It’s pretty much in a child’s DNA to think their parent is uncool. We see it all the time with kids of celebrities who refuse to watch anything that their parents — who are A-list celebs and objectively cool to the rest of the world — are in because…ew. Mom and dad? Cool? Yeah right.
You’ll be hard pressed to convince any teen that their parent is impressive, and we mean no shade to teens when we say that! It’s their duty to roll their eyes and keep their parents humble.
But Cruz Beckham was in for the shock of a lifetime when he watched the Netflix docuseries Beckham about his parents David Beckham and Victoria Beckham. Victoria recently told Allure about her son’s reaction to the four-part documentary, and our jaws were on the floor.
“Cruz, our youngest son, said, ‘Wow, I had no idea Dad was so good at football,’” she said.
Cruz! You had no idea your dad — who is largely considered the GOAT — was “so good” at soccer? What a classic 18-year-old. His world must be turned upside down knowing that his dad is — dare we say — iconic?! Legendary?! Wildly talented?! COOL?!
Hopefully he knew that his mom was “so good” at singing. Based on her latest birthday tribute to him, it seems like he has his own set of impressive pipes, so maybe he was more invested in her career. Then again … teen …
Victoria reflected on Cruz’s birth in the docuseries, revealing that she was not happy that when she was “about to burst” and on bed rest, her hubby was off at a photoshoot with Jennifer Lopez.
“So I had my C-section and I remember lying there. I don’t feel at my most gorgeous, let’s just say, and I remember someone showing me the front page of the newspaper, which was a gorgeous picture of David between Jennifer Lopez and Beyoncé, and the headline was, ‘What would Posh say?’ Let me tell you what Posh would say. Posh was pissed off!”
FAIR, GIRL. FAIR.
David and Victoria also share kids Brooklyn, 24, Romeo, 21, and Harper, 12. If any of them might have had an inkling their dad is The Man, it’s Harper. The tween is still daddy’s little girl, enjoying nights out at Harry Styles concerts with him and giving him makeovers. She’s also down to take a night away from her friends and have a GNO with her mom and the fashion designer’s friends in Miami. Not too shabby.
