MAUREEN CALLAHAN: What a load of Golden Balls! David Beckham's slick Netflix hagiography is straight out of the Sussex playbook... Here's the Posh and Becks scandals they conveniently forgot
Daily MailBend it like Beckham — the narrative, that is. A new four-part Netflix documentary series, simply titled ‘Beckham’, promises to take us inside the legendary footballer’s private world, with David and wife Victoria, née Posh Spice, candid as never before. And director Fisher Stevens, best known as Hugo in ‘Succession’, is happy to toe Beckham’s metaphorical white line, avoiding anything remotely unflattering, let alone controversial. This is the context given to address the ‘affair’ that Beckham reportedly had with their family’s personal assistant Rebecca Loos, its own special kind of betrayal, a cheating scandal to rival Charles and Camilla. You can’t build your brand on being a devoted family man while telling the world that football will always come first — let alone mocking your wife, as Beckham appears to throughout this documentary.
