David Beckham admits he ‘can’t believe it’ as warts-and-all Netflix series documenting his life and career wins an Emmy after being nominated in FIVE categories

David Beckham has expressed his disbelief at winning an Emmy Award for his Netflix docuseries, after it was nominated in five different categories.

The 49-year-old former footballer and his 50-year-old wife Victoria were nominated for the 2023 Netflix documentary Beckham: What Makes David Run.

At the Creative Arts Emmys in Los Angeles on Saturday, the docuseries won the award in the Documentary or Nonfiction Series category.

And on Tuesday, David shared a bunch of snaps on Instagram, proudly showing off his shiny new award.

In one of the photos he appeared to be on cloud nine as he posed in a white T-shirt and blue chinos, grinning as he held up the gold trophy.

In the caption he wrote: ‘Safely back at the office. Still can’t believe we won an EMMY.’

In another photo David posted to his Instagram Story, the star was seen holding up the award again, this time next to a photo booth in his office, which featured adorable photos of himself and Victoria alongside school photos of their children.

He then proudly wrote, “We did it,” accompanied by three heart emojis, while posting a photo with his Studio 99 founders Nicola Howson and David Gardner, with whom he worked on the documentary.

The Emmy Award was accepted by producer Fisher Stevens, who would call the footballer during the celebration to inform him of the success.

In a clip shared to the Emmys’ Instagram account, a crowd of people crowded around Fisher as he called David to tell him about his win.

“Okay David,” the actor and producer shouted as he delivered the news.

“Unbelievable,” David replied as the camera rolled and it appeared on the screen, to which Fisher said, “We miss you brother, we miss you.”

David expressed his disappointment that he couldn’t be there, as he promised he and Fisher would celebrate in a few weeks.

“Thank you very much to the family, congratulations,” Fisher added, before the footballer and producer said goodbye.

The series provided an unprecedented insight into David’s career and a glimpse into the beginning of their romance and marriage.

The four-part series was nominated for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series at the 2024 Emmy Awards, alongside Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV, STAX: Soulsville USA Telemarketers and The Jinx – Part Two.

The film was also nominated for Best Cinematography for a Nonfiction Program, Best Direction for a Documentary/Nonfiction Program, Best Picture Editing and Best Music Composition.

In response, David said HELLO!: ‘It is a great honor for me and the entire creative team that BECKHAM is recognized by the TV Academy.

‘Making this series has been such a personal journey, a love letter to football and my family. It has been overwhelming for me and Victoria that we have had such a warm and positive response to the series.

“I am so grateful to the amazing team led by Fisher Stevens and also to all the people from my life and career who participated and played such an important role in my story.”

Last month it was revealed that Victoria is now filming a revealing documentary about her fashion brand, after signing a major deal with Netflix.

The Spice Girl gives the streamer an insight into her working life following the success of her husband David’s docuseries BECKHAM.

In the documentary, the beloved mother delves deeper into her fashion brand and follows her journey as she prepares for next year’s Paris Fashion Week.

Her new documentary offers a behind-the-scenes look at her journey from Spice Girl to creative director of her successful fashion and beauty brand.

The couple married in 1999 and have four children: Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 19, and Harper, 13.

Victoria launched her fashion brand in 2008 and recently launched a collection with the fashion brand Mango.

Following the success of her clothing brand, Victoria launched her own beauty and skincare line in 2019.
