David Beckham details surprising new project with Victoria after the success of his Netflix documentary as he admits ‘it wasn’t the easiest thing to get her to agree to’

David Beckham has detailed the surprising new project he is embarking on with his wife Victoria Beckham, after seeing huge success with his Netflix documentary last year.

The England football legend, 49, revealed he has convinced the fashion mogul, 50, to also make a documentary series looking back at her 30-year career.

David admitted that ‘getting her to agree wasn’t the easiest thing’, but said the Spice Girl is ‘incredibly hard working and very smart’ and the world deserves to see that.

David spoke to hosts Savannah Guthrie and Craig Melvin on Today and talked about the new Netflix show for the first time.

He said: ‘It wasn’t the easiest thing to get her to agree, but in my opinion she was the star of me.

“So I thought this was the opportunity because she’s been building our brand for the last 18 years and working incredibly hard, and no one gets to see that.

“So I convinced her to actually show people what she does every day and what goes into her business. She’s a very smart and hard-working lady, so I want people to see that.”

When David discussed their iconic dance moment for Islands In The Stream in his Emmy-winning documentary, he revealed it was unplanned and left his children feeling ’embarrassed’.

He added: ‘At this point we were in the tent all day and then I suddenly thought: you know, mommy and daddy have to dance, the kids are embarrassed.

“And this just happened at the last minute, and we just jumped up, and you could see all the kids were embarrassed, but at that moment the song meant something to us, and we were just dancing and in the end it was just us. .’

David also revealed that Victoria is currently busy planning his 50th birthday party, telling viewers: ‘Victoria is organizing it all, it will be in London.’

Victoria’s new documentary takes a deep dive into her fashion brand and follows her journey as she prepares for this year’s Paris Fashion Week.

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

David and Victoria married in 1999 and share four children together: Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21, Cruz, 19, and Harper, 13.

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

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

At last year’s PFW, Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour sat in the front row next to good friend Kim Kardashian on the sidelines.

Victoria reached new heights in May when Bridgerton star Phoebe Dynevor became the first to wear a custom Victoria Beckham dress to the Met Gala.

Emmy nominee Nicola Howson, who worked on David’s series, will serve as executive producer for the Victoria edition alongside Bafta-nominated producer Julia Nottingham.

David’s ‘Beckham’ documentary – which was released in October 2023 – received five Emmy nominations and also a BAFTA nomination.

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

The four-part series won best documentary or nonfiction series at the 2024 Emmy ceremony, alongside Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV, STAX: Soulsville USA Telemarketers and The Jinx – Part Two.

It was also nominated for Outstanding Cinematography for a Nonfiction Program, Outstanding Direction for a Documentary/Nonfiction Program, Outstanding Visual Editing, and Outstanding Music Composition.

His documentary attracted a record number of 3.8 million viewers during its premiere week.

According to the Broadcasters Audience Research Board (BARB), 3,813,100 fans watched the first episode.

The second episode was also a success, reaching 2,868,800 viewers in the week ending October 8.
