Brooklyn Beckham unveils his latest career as a Formula E driver… despite it taking him SEVEN times to pass his theory test
Brooklyn Beckham has unveiled yet another career path as a racing driver because his wife Nicola Peltz him he looked ‘sexy’ in the outfit – despite taking seven times to pass his theory test.
The first son of David and Victoria Beckham is taking part in a documentary with a host of A-Listers in which they undergo intense training sessions for Evo Sessions – a race around the Miami International Autodrome – to look at the demanding world of Formula E racing – the races took place on Thursday and Friday.
The 26-year-old told the Mail: ‘My wife, Nicola, was a little bit worried. And then she saw me in my race outfit, and she was like, “You should do this as a job. You look really good.” So, I might be changing careers!
‘I think I’ve tried a few things and finally found what I absolutely love, I’ve always been a fan of racing and really enjoyed it. It’s what I’m passionate about. And I’ve given it my all. Put my head down and I’m not listening to anyone.
‘And, yeah, I’m just doing my thing really.’
From photography to releasing a hot sauce, Brooklyn has come under scrutiny for trying his hand at varied career paths, with critics accusing him of using his family privilege to open doors.
Brooklyn released his condiment brand, Cloud9, last year and pledges to release more and only has one question for his critics, ‘Have you tried my hot sauce?’
But when it comes to his new desire to become a racing driver, as ever, Posh Spice, 51, and Becks, 49, both had the same advice: ‘Be careful and be safe.’
The self-proclaimed entrepreneur, who celebrated his birthday on Tuesday with an intimate dinner in Miami, revealed it took him seven times to pass his driving theory test in the UK.
Hailing his father as his sporting hero, he said: ‘Racing is something that me and my dad have bonded over, so I really wanted to do it.’
Having spent more than a decade in the spotlight as David and Victoria’s son, Brooklyn shared some big brotherly advice for his younger sister, Harper Seven, 13.
The eldest of four said: ‘Find that one thing that you love, and you know, just put your head down, don’t listen to anyone, and just work your bum off.’
Brooklyn has been training in partnership with Jaguar and under the guiding hand of racing legend, Mitch Evans, for his upcoming race against 11 celebrities including the Harry Potter star, Tom Felton, and the pop icon, Blondie.
The Emily in Paris star, Lucien Laviscount, was forced to withdraw because he landed a role in a film.
