David Beckham, the director of the Beckham documentary Fisher Stevens, holds great admiration for the soccer legend. However, during filming, he found himself annoyed when Beckham unexpectedly interrupted his wife, Victoria Beckham, in what later became a viral moment. Stevens expressed his frustration at Beckham’s intrusion during an interview while attending the opening of the Broadway musical Buena Vista Social Club. The 61-year-old filmmaker was particularly peeved as Beckham wasn’t supposed to be present at that moment. The incident occurred during Victoria’s interview for the Netflix documentary “Beckham” that aired in October 2023. In the clip, Victoria shared insights about their working-class backgrounds before David lightheartedly interjected, worried about what she might reveal. Despite his initial annoyance, Stevens acknowledged that everything worked out in the end, as the documentary shed light on Beckham’s illustrious career and personal journey. Stevens, initially unaware of Beckham’s full prowess on the field, was impressed by the star’s openness and readiness to share his story. He conducted thorough research and found Beckham’s life story to be fascinating. Stevens emphasized the importance of including key figures in Beckham’s life, such as Victoria, in the documentary. Meeting the couple, he anticipated a mix of fun, challenges, and greatness in telling Beckham’s story.
