David Beckham ‘sparks row with Netflix documentary director’ over Victoria’s confession

David Beckham has confessed he sparked an argument with the director of his Netflix documentary when he interrupted an interview with his wife.

The 49-year-old former footballer and his 50-year-old wife, Victoria Beckham.

Starred in a critically panned documentary series about their gilded lives that was streamed via Netflix last October. 

The four-part docuseries saw cameras enter the home of the fame-hungry family – who are said to be worth more than £340 million.

A ‘viral’ moment was born when Victoria sat on her luxury sofa to describe her working class upbringing.

Only for Dave to interrupt from the side of the room to demand she “be honest” about her upbringing. 

The Spice Girl was then shamed into confessing her father drove her to school in a Rolls Royce – suggesting her childhood had been far from ‘working class’.

But now David has revealed that his intervention sparked a furious exchange with documentary director Fisher Stevens. 

He explained that the camera team and crew believed David had left the propriety so they could film with Victoria – only for him to eavesdrop on their conversation from the kitchen.

OK! Magazine claims The Hollywood Reporter recorded a round table discussion with David, Fisher.

Documentary producer Josh Battsek and editor Michael Harte to reflect on their time putting the series together. David then reportedly explained that he had been in the kitchen when Victoria started discussing her humble upbringing.

He is reported as saying: “I put the set headphones on and all of a sudden I heard my wife go, ‘Well, we’re down to earth’. And I was like, ‘No, no, no’. As soon as I heard her say ‘We’re working class’, I stuck my head in and I was like, ‘Be honest’.” He then claimed that Fisher was “very angry with me over that” at the time.

The director himself is then quoted defending his irritation, explaining: “David was supposedly out and she could be free to say what she wants. And then he showed up and I was quite upset. I was like, ‘Get him out of here’ – but it actually turned out to be brilliant. It worked out. Thank God the cameraman caught David, and then Michael, I did say ‘I think we have some gold’.”

While the Beckham documentary series was enjoyed by some fans and spawned some meme-worthy moments, it has been roundly slammed as a soulless and shallow TV experiment. Deadline slammed the show – as well as other recent celebrity fronted docu-sereies – writing: “These examples support the argument that such documentaries are nothing more than sanitised PR exercises for the celebrities involved, who invariably also appear in the credits as ‘executive producer’.”

And The Mirror’s own review accused the show of “whitewashing” the named “Rebecca Loos out of the story”, observed: “I would be amazed if one single shot or anecdote has made the cut here that the Beckhams did not want you to see or hear” – and branded the show as nothing more than “marketing guff”.
