What does Brooklyn Beckham do for a living?

Brooklyn Joseph Beckham is the eldest son of English former footballer David Beckham and English singer-turned-fashion designer Victoria Beckham.

Being the son of legendary footballer David Beckham, a lot of people expected that Brooklyn Beckham will follow the steps of his dad.

However, Brooklyn Beckham had other ideas.

What does Brooklyn Beckham do for a living?

Brooklyn Beckham has tried his hands at modelling, photography and is currently bent on being a cook/chef.

Brooklyn Beckham began modelling professionally in 2014, and has appeared in editorials and on covers for Vogue China, Miss Vogue, Interview, L’Uomo Vogue, T:The New York Times Style Magazine and Dazed Korea.

Brooklyn Beckham has been a brand ambassador for Huawei and its Honor 8 smartphones alongside Scarlett Johansson, Karlie Kloss and Henry Cavill.

In 2016, at age 16, Brooklyn Beckham photographed a campaign for Burberry BRIT, starring models Ben Rees, Carvell Conduah, Eliza Thomas, Liv Mason Pearson and Maddie Demaine.

However, Brooklyn Beckham’s hiring for the campaign was met with criticism by several prominent photographers.

Chris Floyd called Burberry’s decision to employ Brooklyn Beckham a “devaluation of photography” and “sheer nepotism”, while fashion photographer Jon Gorrigan called it an example of “a bit of injustice in a lot of areas” of the industry.

Despite the backlash, Brooklyn Beckham announced that he would pursue a photography degree at Parsons School of Design at the New School in New York in 2017.

After less than a year in the US, however, Brooklyn Beckham’s first book of photography, entitled What I See, was published in June 2017.

Then in 2021, it was revealed that Brooklyn Beckham was to try his hand at becoming a professional chef.

Brooklyn Beckam’s online video series Cookin’ With Brooklyn attracted criticism when it was revealed that it took 62 professionals to create each episode, at a reported cost of $100,000 per episode.

Further criticism aimed at the series pointed out that Brooklyn Beckham had had no real professional experience or training, with The New York Post pointing out that Beckham “doesn’t know how.”
