David Beckham has announced plans for a documentary focusing on his wife, Victoria Beckham. The project aims to showcase her transition from pop stardom to fashion industry success, emphasizing her personality and work ethic.
The documentary will be produced by David Beckham's Studio 99, following the success of his own Netflix series released earlier this year. It will trace Victoria's journey from her days as a member of the Spice Girls to her current status as a respected fashion designer.
At the Royal Television Society conference, David expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating:
"I'm really excited about this one with Victoria because she is an amazing woman. She's a strong, driven, passionate person who has gone from being a Spice Girl and to be respected in this [fashion] industry is very tough."
David highlighted Victoria's dedication to her fashion business, which she has been building for approximately 17 years. He emphasized that the documentary will reveal her personality and work ethic, aspects often unseen by the public.
The announcement comes on the heels of David's own documentary, which featured a viral moment where Victoria claimed a working-class upbringing, only to be corrected by her husband about her father's Rolls-Royce ownership.
Interestingly, David shared an anecdote about naming a pot of honey "Sticky Vicky" in honor of his wife, showcasing his beekeeping hobby.
The former football star also discussed his television viewing habits, revealing that he often draws fashion inspiration from shows like Peaky Blinders and Yellowstone, much to Victoria's amusement.
Reflecting on his own documentary experience, David admitted feeling uncomfortable throughout the filming process, crediting director Fisher Stevens for bringing out a different perspective on his life and career.
This new documentary promises to offer an intimate look at Victoria Beckham's multifaceted career, from her beginnings as a pop sensation with the Spice Girls, who have sold over 100 million records worldwide, to her current status as a fashion industry icon. Her journey includes launching her eponymous fashion label in 2008, winning Designer Brand of the Year at the British Fashion Awards in 2011, and expanding into beauty products in 2019.
Victoria's impact extends beyond fashion, as she was appointed an OBE in 2017 for her services to the industry and has been serving as a UNAIDS International Goodwill Ambassador since 2014. With over 30 million Instagram followers, she continues to influence both the fashion and entertainment worlds.
As the documentary takes shape, it is set to provide a unique insight into the life and career of one of Britain's most prominent figures in fashion and entertainment.
