Brooklyn Beckham might be heading in the direction of yet another new career change, and even his fans are skeptical about it this time.
The 23-year-old – who is the eldest son of former Manchester United and England star David Beckham, and former Spice Girl and fashion designer Victoria Beckham – has once again found himself to be the subject of some social media roasting after featuring in the latest episode of Vogue’s YouTube series ‘7 Days, 7 Looks’ alongside his wife Nicola Peltz-Beckham.
Clips from the video where the couple explain the types of outfits they would typically wear on each day of the week have gone viral and have been plastered all across Twitter and TikTok this week – but not quite for the right reasons.
Fans fear Brooklyn may be ready to try out yet “another new career”.
In case you’re not quite up to speed on the 23-year-old’s life and why a potential career pivot is drawing concern, Brooklyn has most-recently been making a name for himself in the world of cooking, after first kick-starting his career in the public eye with a photography collection book titled What I See in 2017 when he was just 18.

Despite Brooklyn’s best efforts, many may remember the book was widely-criticised on both social media and by professional photographers for its combination of pictures and simple captions.
With the cries of nepotism firmly established following the book’s launch, Brooklyn then decided to venture into the culinary world following his highly-publicised tying of the knot with 27-year-old American actress Nicola Peltz earlier last year, and got himself his own cooking show Cookin’ With Brooklyn on Facebook Live.

Unfortunately, that didn’t go down too well either either, as the online video series also attracted a bit of criticism when it was revealed that it took 62 professionals to create each episode, at a reported cost of $100,000 each.
Critics also pointed out that Beckham has no real professional cooking experience or training.
Because of the several times he’s tried turning his hand to different careers in the past, and because the amateur chef was seen giving his fashion tips and opinions on both his and his wife’s outfits throughout the Vogue video, people now fearing Brooklyn may be considering taking a leaf out of his mum’s book and venturing into the world of fashion.

i can't believe how much vogue content is dedicated to brooklyn beckham's forray into .. well .. anything and I can't understand why this publication is debasing itself quite as spectacularly as it is
While plenty of Brooklyn’s usual critics have been sharing their unfavourable takes on social media over the past couple of days, it seems that even some of his fans may be a little skeptical if he does choose to go in the direction of fashion stylist too.
Many are joking that he’s just “using his free trial” of every career, while others are saying he’s “had more professions than Barbie”.
“I see Brooklyn Beckham has his new monthly career,” another tweet reads.
Some are even joking that he may be free to take over the vacant role of New Zealand Prime Minister after Jacinda Ardern stepped down this week.
Brooklyn isn’t oblivious to the fact that he’s been trying out lots of different careers.

Opening up and speaking candidly about experimenting with different avenues in your younger years during an interview with Bustle late last year, Brooklyn concluded: “It’s ok to be 25, 26 or even 30 and not know what you’re doing yet.

First-ever JD Wetherspoon pub to open at Manchester Airport
Danny Jones
In news that we feel many Mancs and travellers all-round have been waiting on for a long time, the well-known British chain, JD Wetherspoon, will be opening its first-ever pub at Manchester Airport.
That’s right: soon that first airport pint of the holiday could actually be a relatively cheap one.
While Wetherspoons are no strangers to popping up in terminals across the UK and Ireland, they’ve never done so here in Manchester despite having three, yes THREE, in Gatwick alone.
Not for much longer, though, as soon T2 will be lending more than 3,000 square feet of its prime leisure and retail real estate to a new Greater Manchester ‘Spoons’.
Posting on social media, the airport wrote: “Wetherspoon comes to Manchester Airport this September! The pub will be located in the Terminal 2 Departures lounge and will have more than 300 seats.
“This will become the final major food and drink venue to open its doors as part of our decade-long £1.3bn transformation of Terminal 2. It will be named ‘The Belle Vue’, in a nod to Manchester’s historic showground [now a sports complex and leisure hub].
“It was a focal point for social life in the city from the Victorian period up until 2020, when the final event was held at Belle Vue stadium. The design of the pub is inspired by the history of Belle Vue and the sporting culture of the North West of England. We look forward to welcoming you all in September!”
While a lot of money has been pumped into T2’s refurb as a whole over the past few years, it remains unclear just how much this particular new addition will cost; we do know that great sums were set aside for the launch of the Great Northern Market last year.
The inaugural Manchester Airport Spoons is just the latest in a series of major renovations.
As mentioned, the company already operate several up and down the country – 10 airport pubs, to be specific – but this will be the first in the North West.
Speaking on the news, JD Wetherspoon chief executive John Hutson said in a statement: “We are looking forward to opening at Manchester Airport. We believe our new pub will prove popular with travellers of all ages and be an asset to the new terminal.”
With Manchester Airport adding a dozen new routes to its roster this summer, you can expect to see even more people flying in and out than ever – no doubt having already polished off a cut-price pint or two beforehand.
