“I said no several times”: how David Beckham convinced his wife to do a Netflix series

Shortly after the release of the mini-series dedicated to the most important show of her career, Victoria Beckham took the time to talk on the podcast microphone. Skip the introduction Go behind the scenes of this unexpected documentary. And you’ll find the former Spice Girl making revelations that are surprising but also quite disturbing.

“I said no several times”

The first surprise, the documentary series was originally commissioned by the platform and not a marketing operation of the star. Victoria Beckham categorically refused to participate in training several times: “I was really surprised when Netflix asked me to do it. I was really curious if someone would actually want to see what I did every day at work. I turned it down a few times.”

In the end, it was David Beckham who found the words to convince her to go on this adventure: “My husband convinced me that it was the right thing to do…I was wrong. And being wrong about these things is a really liberating thing.”

“I was very nervous”

At the head of this refusal, the confidence was shaken by years of harassment from the English tabloids, which made the former singer very anxious about his public image:

“I’m not going to lie when I look at it David’s documentary filmI was very interested in how he would react to me. No one likes to watch themselves on television. Nobody likes his talk. As a result, I was completely unsure of the image I was projecting.”

Beyond the deep relief caused by the positive reception of the documentary, above all, the anonymous messages received by the fashion designer deeply relieved him: “I’ve been really impressed by the reactions. I’ve had incredible messages from people who have recognized themselves in my story. I’m very moved by this experience.” A risk that was worth it!
