Currently on Netflix, subscribers to the platform can discover the professional career and a bit of the private life of English footballer David Beckham. His club career, his relationship with his wife Victoria, their move to the United States, the documentary Beckham thus offers in four episodes a compelling dive into the life of the man who became a global icon, and into the business of football. Expertly produced, mixing interviews and archive footage, Beckham is directed by actor, director and producer Fisher Stevens. A prolific actor, present in Wes Anderson’s last four films, we have also recently seen him in the excellent series Succession.

When he’s not in front of the camera, Fisher Stevens is behind it and has established himself as a very serious documentary producer and director. He notably produced in 2009 The lairwhich he received in 2010 the Oscar for best documentary.

“Leo advised me!”

For Beckham, Fisher Stevens said The Guardian which was not a priori not interested in making it happen. “I was like, “No.” It would be two years of my life and I would really love to spend time in this universe.” But a first recommendation comes from Jesse Armstrong, creator and screenwriter of Successionwho told him: “You can’t not do it. It’s a fantastic story.” Then it’s the turn of Leonardo Dicaprio follow his advice this time by David Beckham himself.

David and Leo were spending time together and David asked him who he could have as director (for the documentary, ed.). And Leo advised me! Davis looked at “Before the Flood” and “Palmer,” which I directed, and he saw something he liked: emotion, I guess.

If Leonardo DiCaprio recommended Fisher Stevens as director, it is because the two men are both very committed to the fight to save the planet. In particular they produced together Before the floodof which Leonardo DiCaprio is the narrator and Fisher Stevens the director.
