David Beckham Says He Didn’t Enjoy Making Netflix Doc, Talks Victoria Beckham Series: “No One Sees the Amount of Work She Does”

As a gamer with a soft spot for sports biographies and documentaries, I must admit that David Beckham‘s journey from soccer fields to the silver screen has left me utterly captivated. The man who once dribbled past defenders with grace now seems to be weaving through the complexities of the entertainment industry with an equal amount of finesse.


David Beckham, a well-known former soccer star and fashion trendsetter, shared insights about his feelings of apprehension during the filming of his Emmy-winning documentary titled “Beckham” and expressed affectionately about his spouse, at a significant industry gathering in London.

To kick off the celebration of their 25th wedding anniversary, former Spice Girl and current co-CCO of Sister Pictures, Jane Featherstone, received a jar of homemade marmalade from David Beckham. He named it ‘Sticky Vicky’, joking about his partner and ex-Spice Girl Victoria.

To create the documentary we produced, he shared that he had to put himself in an awkward situation,” he started out in the film, which guided viewers through his tumultuous life under the public eye as a football player for Manchester United and a well-known relationship with Victoria. Beckham received praise when it was released on Netflix.

Beckham found the premiere very touching, stating, ‘It was something I knew I would only do once if I were to make it.’ He also shared that creating the series was challenging and took a considerable amount of time for him to accept. As the pandemic surged, documentaries became increasingly popular. With his retirement being 10 years old soon, he felt it might be the ideal moment.

He went on to admit, “It gave me pause, it left me uneasy, it unsettled Victoria too. Despite what others might assume about us, they don’t truly grasp our situation. When the moment felt right, I knew I had to take action. I wouldn’t go so far as to say I detested it, but rather found it challenging. We were thrilled with the outcomes. However, we were discussing aspects of my professional life that I had never disclosed before.

In response to Featherstone’s question about Victoria taking notes for her Netflix documentary series, he replied, “Yes, I know my wife.” He went on to praise her, saying, “She is an exceptional woman. She’s strong-willed, ambitious, and passionate. Remarkably, she’s evolved from a Spice Girl into a respected figure in this challenging industry.

For nearly two decades, she’s been tirelessly dedicating herself to her business. Suddenly, she’s reaping the rewards she truly deserves. Most people are unaware of the extensive work she puts in or the intricacies of her business. She’s meticulously involved in every aspect, from fashion choices to business operations, ensuring each detail is perfect.

Despite the difficulty in persuading her, she played a significant role in Netflix’s operations. Now, it’s an exhilarating moment as she is set to contribute something extraordinary. Her unique character and dedication will be on display for all to see,” he remarked.

As a passionate admirer, I can’t help but share some exciting news about David Beckham. Recently, he was quizzed about his upcoming project, Studio 99, which played a significant role in the Netflix documentary. In his own words: “I feel honored to be here today.” He then confessed, “I had always envisioned having a studio one day, not to dictate what gets shared but something I truly enjoy. After hanging up my soccer boots, I produced two documentaries titled Into the Unknown and For the Love of the Game, and the process was exhilarating for me. So, establishing the studio was an idea I’ve nurtured for a while, but I needed the right partners to help me bring it to life.

As a die-hard supporter of Manchester United, creating that 99th minute goal was an extraordinary experience for me and my fellow fans alike. The ecstasy on the players’ faces mirrored our own as we cheered in unison. What followed next, the ‘Save Our Squad’ moment, was truly captivating to be a part of and left me eagerly anticipating what’s to come.
