Behind the Icon: Unveiling the Real David Beckham in Netflix Doc.
The life of the legendary football player, David Beckham, is about to be showcased in a documentary series. Netflix just dropped the trailer for "Beckham," a four-part series that delves into the soccer player's life and career, and it's set to premiere on October 4th.
The trailer gives us a glimpse of Beckham's early years, including his childhood and the moments leading up to his signing with Manchester United. It also sheds light on his humble upbringing in East London. In his own words, he mentions, "I never really did well at school; all I ever really wanted to do was play football."
The visual includes interviews with Victoria Beckham, who shares insights into how they met and the early days of their relationship. With a touch of humor, she mentions, "We would meet in car parks, and that's not as seedy as it sounds." David chimes in with a playful "Classy!"
The trailer emphasizes Beckham's transformation into a media icon as his career soared in England. He insists that fame didn't change him, but those close to him have a different perspective. The trailer hints at Beckham's clash with the legendary Manchester United manager, Alex Ferguson. It also captures his time at Real Madrid, becoming a father, and the remarkable rise of his success.
Directed by Fisher Stevens and co-executive produced by David Gardner and Gary Neville, the docuseries promises to reveal the inside story of a global football star and cultural icon. The official synopsis tantalizingly suggests that it will take viewers on a rollercoaster ride and construct a surprising, personal, and definitive narrative about one of the most recognizable and closely examined athletes of all time.
2023 has been a monumental year for Beckham. His MLS expansion team, Inter Miami FC, made headlines by signing none other than Lionel Messi, widely regarded as one of the greatest players ever, along with other football stars like Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.
