Brooklyn on being a nepo baby

I mean, I can’t help how I was born,” he told InStyle in a new interview published June 10. “I couldn’t ask for better parents and I’m just trying to work my ass off and trying to make a name for myself. That’s all I can say, really.”

Brooklyn, 25, has tried his hand at a few things while figuring out what he wants to do with his life, whether it was playing soccer like his dad or entering the fashion world as a model. Along the way, he said his parents always encouraged him to shut out the noise from the public telling him that he couldn't do it.

It makes me… I kind of like it, in a way, just because it makes me really want to prove to people… Until two years ago, I didn’t know what the hell I was doing. I think with all the rubbish I get, my mum's just like, ‘Prove them wrong. Never respond to that rubbish, just prove them wrong,'" he said. “I think what I wanted for so long—especially the last few years—is I really wanted to make a name for myself.”

"I'm always going to have haters and that's fine, and it's probably going to get worse," he said. I hope not, but I'm excited for people to try [Cloud23] and I don't know, what else can I say? Where would I want my business to be in 20 years? I want my product to be [everywhere]. I would love to have my own restaurant. You have to be happy to be successful. That’s important.”



Probably the only time I’ll say something nice on here.

Brooklyn is harmless. He seems a nice person, kind and polite. Does no harm to anyone. He’s been brought up in the “celeb” world through no choice of his. Doesn’t seem like David and Victoria have prioritised education unfortunately so he’s doing the best with what he has.

I thought the exact same thing - looks like there was a massive row on the way there.
Especially as she hobbled in on her own while David followed several paces behind with Harper.
To be honest he does it all the time ‘escorts’ his daughter and ignores his wife. He did it at the Paris fashion show a couple of months back when Victoria had just broken her foot. He should really be giving her a hand and letting the kids sort themselves out, Harper could hold one of her brothers hands/arms. It’s starting to really bother me.

Now it’s been pointed out it’s just so weird, isn’t it? I can’t imagine a family photo with all my kids where my husband wouldn’t be stood next to me, either.

Harper is 12, she doesn’t need Daddy to hold her hand and escort her, it’s giving me the proper fucking ick.

She has got absolute iron will to maintain that level of dieting and exercise. I don't think she looks well for it, but my god, I wish I had an ounce of her discipline.

I don't think Harper was at all comfortable in that dress, and was gathering the fabric around her tummy/hips. Self conscious? She must feel like an elephant stood next to Victoria, even though she's a perfectly normal and lovely size.

Victoria needs to be setting that poor girl a better example. I don't like how David is around Harper at times but he seems to be the one who loves food and cooking, and I hope he shows Harper that it's actually OK to eat. Victoria's eating is horribly disordered - I have had to go lower carb due to diabetes and often eat protein with a mountain of veg and you never feel fully satiated after.

In some ways I feel sorry for David, it’s very hard to live with someone with an earring disorder . A family friends wife has anorexia but won’t admit it. She is never happier than when she is wearing tiny clothes. Never eats a meal, knows the calories of everything including vitamins etc. children come second, she doesn’t care that her health issues are affecting her children. Constantly grumpy and worse as she is hungry. Every so often she is hospitalised and puts weight on and everyone is happy. Then she spirals. As she is getting older with the menopause bones are breaking and she looks worse. Again husband caring for her but getting resentful as she won’t eat/ take medication because calories so doesn’t heal and he’s getting older too with health problems that have to come second to hers. It’s a very selfish disease and once it gets hold its there for a lifetime and David doesn’t seem the sort of person to be sympathetic to it,

He seems absolutely desperate to be assimilated into the Peltz family, weird behaviour considering how close his own family claim to be. I actually feel sorry for him, I think he has had such a fucked up home life with him ill mum and cheating dad and he wants to create the perfect family of his own. Nicola seems happy to indulge his obsession for now but I suspect she will tire of it eventually and move onto someone more mature.

Do you think David's stern face was a message to his mistress?

"See what I have to put up with?"

I agree that it must be difficult. And if he’s genuinely trying to show his daughter that it’s fine to eat and enjoy food, then I’ll give him kudos for that.
I can’t help but think though, that VB was a healthy weight and so alive looking when they first got together.
The extreme weight loss and “self discipline” seemed to coincide with him living in Madrid, having affair/s and allegedly taunting her about not being as perfect as one of his teammates wives (reported in one of the tabloids at the time - can’t remember which one)

I 100% believe that the period in Spain destroyed her.
And she looked gorgeous with short hair.
Yes.

Victoria saw David’s money making potential and molded him into the huge money machine personality he became. Her ambition for him and spice girl showbiz connections ( Simon Fuller too) saw his huge sporting and advertising appeal and the monster ego was born.

He was worshipped in Spain alongside the other galacticos and that ego got bigger and more demanding. He expected V to follow him and do whatever his career demanded and bollocks to hers. She then submitted to his needs and wants and that’s where she crumbled, should’ve taken him to the cleaners when he first shagged Rebecca Loos.

The endless photos of DB with his nappy on (sorry, I mean shorts) - we can’t be expected to be drooling over them?
Beckham may have been a poster boy for a couple of years, but that ship sailed around 15 years ago.

I feel sorry for their kids. Imagine your mum, posting photos of your dad’s arse on Instagram.
Why? Ffs

There’s a canvas of the two of them touching heads and both smiling from one of their old apartments. She looks natural and healthy and they both look in love. I think her hair was short then. I think this was their golden era. Everything that happened in Spain changed her I think.

I think she looks pretty here. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yes, nothing wrong with her teeth. I think she looked lovely back in the day, when she was on Ali G with David she was so pretty and seemed so happy and full of humour.

She came out of the doc way better than he did. I don’t think that was the intention but she’s definitely smarter than him and made it work.
Not difficult to be fair.
