Victoria Beckham and David Beckham’s banter was praised by fans following their candid Netflix documentary Beckham – especially after he called her out for not being working class.
Victoria had been trying to claim that both of them came from a working class backgrounds, but on hearing her exaggeration, David, 49, quickly reminded her that her father drove her to school in a Rolls Royce. And their verbal exchange went viral. And so this may explain why Nicole Kidman was keen to confirm if she was really dropped off to school in a luxury car, as she interviewed the designer for Vogue Australia.
As part of Victoria’s interview, Nicole took control much to the former Spice Girl’s delight. And one of Nicole’s questions was about the Rolls Royce. She asked: “Did you really get driven to school in a Rolls?” Victoria replied: “You know, my dad had a Rolls-Royce and he also had a white van. I came from a working-class background and so my dad in the 80s, he was an entrepreneur, he started his business with my mum at the kitchen table and he did very well, so he bought himself a Rolls-Royce.
She continued: “We went to a regular school and we didn’t live in a big house and the minute he made money he went and bought himself a Rolls-Royce. One day we’d go to school in the Rolls-Royce and one day we’d go in the van because he’d still work, he was an electrical wholesaler and he was very much a worker.”
She then added: “Me and my siblings used to beg him, can we please go to school in the white van? Like, we were mortified at the idea of going in the Rolls-Royce. How things have changed! Nowadays, I’d be like, don’t worry about the van, let’s go in the Roller! But in those days, we just wanted to fit in.”
When the Beckham documentary aired and showed Victoria and David’s playful relationship, social media was inundated with comments of their exchange. One person said: “Well she wasn’t called posh spice for coming from a council estate was she.” Another person said: ” David Beckham coming in as a live Twitter troll.” And a third person commented: Hahaha, love Beckham even more for calling her out on that.”
Meanwhile, a fourth person penned: “The way his floating head comes in to ensure the truth is being heard. And then floats away after.” This was followed by a series of laughing emojis. Surprisingly, the usually guarded couple were praised for being candid in the four-part documentary series.
The series touched on all aspects of their relationship, which now spans 25 years of marriage, from their first kiss to more difficult moments. One of which was a kidnap threat against their then newborn son Brooklyn and the nationwide criticism aimed at David, following his infamous red card during England’s 1998 World Cup match against Argentina. And lets not forget, Rebecca Loos ‘ allegations of having an affair with the footballer.
