Brooklyn Beckham mocks himself over varied career as he eyes up very different job
David Beckham and Victoria Beckham's eldest child Brooklyn Beckham will be taking part in Formula E's Evo Sessions in Miami next week, racing for Jaguar TCS Racing
Ahead of his debut in a new field next week, Brooklyn Beckham has made reference to his varied career.
It was announced last month that Brooklyn, 25, would be venturing into sport with a new project. He will take part in Evo Sessions next week, which has been set up by Formula E – a motorsport championship for electric racing cars. Brooklyn – the eldest child of David Beckham and Victoria Beckham – is among 11 “personalities” who are being given the opportunity to get behind the wheel of single-seater vehicles within the sport. It was previously revealed that they would each be coached by a different racing driver ahead of a two-day track event in the US. The line-up also includes Harry Potter star Tom Felton, retired footballer Sergio Agüero and content creator Emelia Hartford.
He’s set to drive a Jaguar I-TYPE 7 at the event, which will run from March 5 to 6, in Miami. Ahead of him taking to the track at the Miami International Autodrome circuit for the occasion, Jaguar TCS Racing – which he will represent – has shared a video of Brooklyn during preparations for the race.
The video, which was uploaded to TikTok on Thursday, shows him working with the team, including trying out a simulator. He says at the start of the footage: “I am Brooklyn and I’m training for my Formula E race. Y’know I’ve always been into racing. Me and my dad talked about [it] all the time.”
He goes on to reference his varied career, having ventured into the culinary arts in recent years after working as a model and releasing a photography book. Brooklyn teased: “I’ve tried out a few things, like the business aspect of cooking and fell in love with it.” He then continued: “[I’ve] just released my first condiment line called Cloud23.”
Discussing his new opportunity in motorsport, he said: “It’s going to be interesting to kind of experience what these guys go through. The simulator was unreal. Felt a little bit sick going in. I’ve had a blast so far, the first day.”
