The London native said Bustle that he was too anxious to follow in his father’s footsteps: ‘I have a lot of anxiety.’
He continued: “And to try to live up to what my dad did, it was like, it got to the point where I was like, I really just wanted to make my own name and work my ass off.” off I am a Pisces. Sensitive.’

In the video, Brooklyn also seemed to take inspiration from his father with his jersey, as he sported a red England number 7 shirt, which David himself inherited.

In an accompanying caption, she discussed her love of truffles, which she used liberally to make the dish, writing, “There aren’t too many truffles in my kitchen.”
