Brooklyn Beckhamdoesn’t care what anyone thinks about his cooking content.
The oldest son offormer soccer player David Beckham, 24,pivoted from modeling to cookinga few years ago, after deciding the pressure of a modeling career was too much. And while it seems he enjoys cooking, much of his content has been publicly scrutinized — which is why Beckham sat down with Insider toaddress his optimistic thoughtson the otherwise harsh criticism.
“To be honest, I’m used to the hate,” Beckham admitted. “It doesn’t really bother me. Cooking makes me happy. I have more important things to worry about than people saying a little bit of rubbish about me.”
PEOPLEreported on one photoBeckham posted to Instagram in April, which garnered some significant heat. In the post, Beckham was making pasta sauce with his puppy in a crossbody sling. “Daddy day care ❤️,” the caption read.
The majority of the negative attention, however, didn’t come from the dog’s close proximity to the food — upon close inspection of the image, Beckham’s followers noticed that he seemingly left a cork cooking in the pot of sauce.
Beckham has since defended the photo, saying the cork “ensured a more tender dish.”
But regardless of the negativity, Beckham told Insider his critics can continue saying whatever they want — and he’ll happily keep posting about cooking.
“My message to them is to keep writing whatever they want to write. There are always going to be people out there who try and pull you down,” he said. “I’m doing my thing and working my bum off. So they can keep writing what they want, but it’s not going to bother me — I’m just going to keep doing my thing.”
Later that year, Beckhamlaunched his Facebook Watch show, calledCookin' with Brooklyn. The show seems to be on a hiatus as the last post was from 2022, but he has continued adding cooking content to his Instagram page, with asponsored postmarketing Typhur Culinary’s new air fryer.
“Excited to be starting a new partnership withTyphur Culinary, a company that combines cooking science + tech,” he wrote in the caption. “Here’s a sneak peak of their new Dome air fryer. More to come!”
