David Beckham says his viral interruption of Victoria in the doc actually annoyed the director

If there was one bit of the Beckham documentary series the entire world will remember forever – it’s THAT viral moment. You know the one, but I’ll tell you anyway. The one where Victoria Beckham claims she’s from a working class upbringing only for David to barge in through the door and interrupt her, with the footballer demanding his wife “be honest” about her childhood that saw her dropped off at school in a Rolls-Royce. It was a classic moment, and easily the most talked about bit of the documentary – but now David Beckham has spilled that he actually annoyed the director with it.

Speaking in an appearance on chicken wing fiasco Hot Ones, Beckham said of director Fisher Stevens “He was angry. He was angry with me. Fisher, I love Fisher. He apparently wanted me out the house, and that particular day was Victoria’s first day of filming.

“When she was sat there, the door was closed, and I was about to leave for the office, but I made a coffee, and then I saw a spare set of headphones so I put the headphones on and I heard Fisher talking about the whole, our parents and our upbringing.

“Then, all of a sudden, I heard her say, ‘We’re working class.’ In that moment, I was like, ‘OK,’ I headed to the door. I opened the door and I saw Fisher’s face, and he was not happy. So that’s really, I was like, ‘Be honest.’ The camera guys were so amazing because, literally panned over to me at the door and that was really a moment that kind of went viral. But Fisher was not happy.”

I’m sure the documentary director is much happier now he realised it was the only moment people still talk about from the David Beckham series. You’ve got to take it where you get it in life, Fisher.
