Brooklyn Beckham hopes to open LA pub after failed photography career

‘I wanted to find that one thing I would die for… I found that with cooking’: Brooklyn Beckham hopes to open his own LA pub after failed photography career – as he plans reality show with wife Nicola Peltz

Brooklyn Beckham has revealed how he found his true passion in life through cookery – after previous failed careers in photography and football.

The 23-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham spoke of his hopes to open a pub in LA that serves ‘healthy comfort food’ and have a reality show with wife Nicola in a joint interview with Variety.

Brooklyn, who briefly attended New York’s Parson’s School of Design to study photography, is now learning to be a chef and frequently shares cooking videos for adoring fans.

Cooking up new ideas: Brooklyn Beckham has revealed how he found his true passion in life through cookery – after previous failed careers in photography and football

The star said he would ‘literally die’ for cooking, while dismissing his previous photography career – which saw him release panned 2017 book, What I See – as a ‘hobby.’ 

He said: ‘I really enjoyed [photography]  for a couple of years. I love taking pictures of my wife. I still have all my film cameras, but now it’s just more of a fun thing to do. They were kind of all hobbies. I was still trying to find that one thing I would literally die for, and I found that with cooking.’  

‘I’m almost 100% self-taught. Ever since the start of quarantine, I’ve done it every single day, and it’s the one thing I’ve found that takes my mind off of anything I’m thinking about.’ 

‘I would love to have my own pub. I would love to have my own sauces, knives, pots and pans, Not like a chef — I’m always going to be learning about cooking. I want to have so many TV shows, and hopefully one day open up a pub in LA, because LA needs a pub.

Adding that he’d love to serve ‘a healthier version of comfort food’ and that a pub could be the subject of a TV show, he also revealed he’s planning to launch a new sauce product later this year.

Brooklyn, whose own parents are one of the most influential pairings in the world, said he and new bride Nicola, 27, would love to do a reality show to show the dynamic of their relationship.

He said:  ‘I’ve always said to my wife, we should actually do a reality TV show, because she’s so funny,’ Peltz Beckham says. ‘And we take the p**s out of each other all the time. She sometimes doesn’t get my English humour.’

This would be following in the footsteps of his mother Victoria, 48, who famously appeared in 2007 documentary, Coming To America.

Brooklyn recently showed off his recipe for fish and chips on Instagram, despite having come under fire recently for his frequently-ridiculed cooking skills. 

He said: ‘Some Americans find English food kind of gross, which I don’t understand.

‘But I cook fish and chips and pie and mash for my American friends, and at the end they’re like, “OK, I understand.”

Critics have previously called attention to Brooklyn’s lack of training and expertise, while condemning the cost of his professionally edited Instagram videos.

A source has said of Brooklyn’s overblown crew and budget: ‘It’s unheard of. It’s the sort of crewing you would expect on a big TV show.’  

The insider added that each episode of the eight-minute online show, costs $100,000 to make.

Brooklyn came under furious fire after landing a slot on The Late Late Show to plug his cooking career – despite having no professional training as a chef and boasting no personal claim to fame beyond his parents’ prominence.

The superstar offspring chatted to close family friend James Corden on the hit show – in a slot typically saved for esteemed stars with talents under their belt – during which he showcased his frequently-ridiculed cooking skills.

He shared details of his proposal to Nicola Peltz before challenging the fellow Brit, who has been close friends with his footballer dad for more than a decade, to a cook off – which viewers branded ‘cringy’ and ‘the definition of privilege’.

His appearance on the show was also slammed by several professional chefs.   

Elsewhere in the interview, Brooklyn admitted he felt pressure to live up to his father David’s reputation as one of the world’s greatest-ever footballers, hence his decision to walk away from soccer at age 16 after being released from the Arsenal club as a youth prospect:

He said: ‘My dad wasn’t sad, because he was like, I just want you to be happy. But of course I was sad. It was my whole life since I was literally 2.

‘To try and live up to what my dad did in football, I was just like, that’s going to be a bit difficult.’

Nicola has also  broken her silence on her rumoured ‘cold war’ with Victoria Beckham.

The beauty shared a cryptic message about ‘people who make you feel bad’ alongside a candid snap of herself looking sad with red watery eyes four days ago amid rumblings of a disagreement. 

But despite not weighing in before, Nicola has dismissed the narrative and said that she believes it all started when she didn’t wear a Victoria Beckham designed wedding dress for the nuptials in April and instead opted for Valentino couture.   

She told the publication: ‘I was going to and I really wanted to, and then a few months down the line, she realized that her atelier couldn’t do it, so then I had to pick another dress. 

‘She didn’t say you can’t wear it; I didn’t say I didn’t want to wear it. That’s where it started.’

Brooklyn, in a rather muted defence, added: ‘Everyone gets along, which is good.’    

Nicola’s crying post comes amid months of alleged frosty tension with her new mother-in-law after reports claimed Nicola and Victoria ‘can’t stand each other and don’t talk.’

Peltz, the daughter of New York billionaire Nelson Peltz, is believed to now live in Miami with her husband but fans have noticed that the couple have seemingly drifted from Posh and Becks since the wedding.   

Peltz is said to have not wanted Posh’s input at the wedding at all – and on the magical night, witnesses said the Beckhams ‘were not at the forefront’ and that the ‘wedding was all about the Peltz family’

The Beckhams were apparently not happy after Nicola’s glitzy front cover close-up on British socialite magazine Tatler came out – published with the in-your-face headline ‘The new Mrs Beckham’

It has been nearly three months since Posh last liked one of Nicola’s posts on May 26 – and she didn’t like any of the images that Peltz-Beckham shared from her honeymoon with Brooklyn.
