Brooklyn Beckham insists he is ‘working his bum off’ at his online cookery career so is ‘really not bothered’ by critics: ‘I’m used to the hate’
Brooklyn Beckham has slammed critics of his cooking career.
The 24-year-old son of superstars Victoria and David has used his Instagram platform as a launching point for a career as an aspiring celebrity chef, but has regularly been met with scathing critics over his videos.
His cooking has come under fire in the past, as many have dismissed his simple recipes, use of expensive ingredients or accusations of nepotism.
In a new interview with Insider, Brooklyn emphasized that he is not impressed by the criticism, because he knows that he is “working his butt” and “cooking makes him happy.”
He said: “Honestly, I’m used to the hate. I don’t really care. Cooking makes me happy. I have more important things to worry about than people saying some shit about me…I’m doing my thing and working my ass off.’

Speaking to the publication, Brooklyn said: “Honestly, I’m used to the hate. I don’t really care. Cooking makes me happy. I have more important things to worry about than people saying shit about me…
‘My message to them is to keep writing what they want to write. There will always be people trying to bring you down.
‘I do my thing and work my butt off. So they can keep writing whatever they want, but it doesn’t bother me; I just keep doing my thing.’
Last month, Brooklyn shared his most recent cooking video on Instagram, in which he secured funding from a brand partnership.
On the photo-sharing site, he told fans how to make a cake with avocado oil, explaining the different stages before enjoying the treat at the end.
In the caption for the post, Brooklyn stated that the video was a collaboration with Chosen Foods, an avocado oil brand, which he had previously affiliated with and in the final clip he showed off both the pure oil form and the spray version of the ingredient.
In June he came under fire for using an entire bottle of the same oil to make fried chicken – with fans branding him ‘out of reach’ – while his mother had in the past spoken about avocado oil as part of her militant diet.
Brooklyn, who previously came under fire for its flashy ingredients including truffle and a £60 beef rib, was criticized again for his choices.

In 2021, he found himself at the center of a furious foodie frenzy after stunning Today show viewers by appearing on a live cooking segment – in which he simply ‘put together a sandwich’.
Brooklyn appeared on the US program when he shared his ‘recipe’ for an English breakfast sandwich, a dish he ‘learned from his great-grandmother’.
He explained that he developed a passion for cooking during lockdown, during which he began posting videos of himself preparing dishes on Instagram, then guided hosts Hoda Kotb and Carson Daly through his sandwich-making process.
But while Today presenters were quick to praise his simple creation, viewers were up in arms over the decision to show such an easy-to-assemble dish, with many calling the clip ’embarrassing’ and ‘painful’.
