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.
Manchester firefighter surprises partner with proposal during new recruits parade
Danny Jones
We’re a sucker for a wholesome little video as we know you are, which is exactly why we thought of you lot when we came across this video of a newly graduated Manchester firefighter surprising his partner with a heartwarming proposal.
Just the kind of heartwarming that usually sets us off after a long week at work.
The clip shared by Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) on Thursday, 25 April, shows Manc fireman James popping the question to his girlfriend sat unassumingly in the audience at a recent passing out ceremony.
Pass out ceremonies are when trainees go from recruits to fully qualified firefighters after completing their intensive operational training. It’s a long-standing tradition in the emergency services where friends and family gather to celebrate their achievements – it’s almost like it’s the perfect opportunity…
Watch as a Manc firefighter turns his passing out ceremony into a surprise proposal.
As you can see, since the graduates are usually the centre of attention, James couldn’t help but size his moment and instead of walking and lining up normally like everyone else, he decided to head straight over to his wife-to-be and get down on one knee.
You already know the rest.
Welling up immediately and barely able to remove her hands from her face, Melissa nods and says yes as the crowd cheers and the pair share a smooch.
Writing on social media, the GMFRS said: “We managed to capture a VERY special moment at our new recruits pass out parade today… Congratulations to James and Melissa!”, adding, “Certainly one way to start your new career”.
If we don’t see all the groomsmen dressed as firefighters on a random viral video sometime soon we’re going to be gutted.
All the best to the happy couple and if you’ve got any more lovely clips like this to send in so we can make ourselves cry (in a good way), you know what to do.

The Chestergate pub in Stockport is at it again with some of the most wonderfully Manc scenes you’ll ever see
Danny Jones
The legendary Chestergate pub in Stockport is back with another belter of a video, following on from their viral belly-flashing clip of 2022.
The Mersey Square boozer has painted yet another quintessentially Northern depiction of UK pub culture with the latest Manc scenes they’ve captured around the karaoke machine.
If you’ve never had the pleasure of stumbling into The Chestergate in Stockport town centre, the long-standing boozer currently operated by publican chain Blind Tiger Inns, you’re seriously missing out.
While it might not be the flashiest of pubs, when it comes to entertainment, it always delivers.
Whether it’s stunts like renaming themselves ‘The Southgate’ whenever the Euros or World Cup rolls around, or the locals just genuinely having a whale of a time no matter what day of the week it is, it really sums up the best of pub culture.
The Chestergate went viral for some of the most British footage ever caught on film back in 2022 and the videos saw a huge wave of love and support flooding in for the pub, as well as a healthy amount of chuckles. Safe to say we were chuffed to see them pop back up on our feed again recently.
Karaoke night at The Chestergate literally never disappoints.
Forget ‘Livin’ on a Prayer’ or ‘Champagne Supernova’ for karaoke songs – we’ll take a cacophony of inaudible throwback pop music, whilst another bloke and his hype man try and MC over a totally ill-fitting beat any day of the week.
And that’s handy because you’ll find those kinds of shenanigans happening at this place all the time.
It’s simultaneously one of the most no-nonsense and somehow a non-stop shenanigan-filled paradise. They also look after their own and consider their regulars part of the family. Case and point: they threw their very own ‘Dancing Queen’ Molly a big bash for her 86th birthday and it’s such wholesome viewing.
At this point, it’s worth flagging that we have nothing but envy for these folks and anyone who’s just out there having the time of their lives on any random weeknight.
Yes, it produced plenty of laughs for those watching online in recent times but this lot won’t mind one bit – not only is the pub seeing more and more new faces through the door but that’s the whole point of a pub, isn’t it? Going for a pint with your nearest and dearest and having a laugh.
Not only is it very Manchester but it’s Britain at its very best.
We hope to see you at The Chestergate pub in Stockport for a pint or two sometime soon and we’re making a bit of a prat of ourselves, don’t worry, we’re sure they’ll have the cameras ready for you.
