Brooklyn Beckham pokes fun at his many career paths as he teases job as a racing driver for new ad
Brooklyn Beckham poked fun at his many career paths as he teased a job as a racing driver for a new promotional video on Wednesday.
The son of Victoria and David Beckham, 25, has forged many career paths including photography and more recently as a chef.
And the self-aware star appears to be taking advantage of his reputation in the new promo video for Jaguar TCS Racing and Formula E.
Formula E, officially the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, is an open-wheel single-seater motorsport championship for electric cars.
He announced last month that he would take part in a new initiative from the sport, which will pit 11 influencers against each other in an attempt to raise Formula E’s profile.
Their is hope that by using the public figures, which also include former Man City striker turned content creator Sergio Aguero, the sport will reach younger audiences and increase in popularity.
In the clip an interviewer asks him: ‘So Brooklyn, you’re training to be a racing driver now?’
Smirking slightly, Brooklyn then replies saying: ‘Yeah it has kind of taken over my life really.’
He went on to joke: ‘Sitting down has really taken on a whole new meaning’ – as he sat in a chair in the position of a low down race car.
He adds: ‘Also I’m always looking for that overtake’, – as he watches a race and sarcastically exclaims: ‘Wow!’
Showcasing one of his current career ventures he adds: ‘It’s even taken over my cooking’ – as a bowl he’s shaking turns into a steering wheel.
At the end of the video he says dead pan to the camera: ‘I just keep reflecting on winning. I’m so ready! Let’s go racing!’
He penned in the caption of the clip shared on his Instagram: ‘I’m a racing driver. & EVO Sessions have taken over my life. Next stop: Miami. Let’s see if practice makes perfect on track!’
After spending time in Arsenal’s academy as a youngster, Brooklyn – who is married to American actress Nicola Peltz – has worked as a model and influencer, racking up several brand endorsement deals, while he has also tried to break into photography and cookery.
