Brooklyn Beckham has responded to critics of his popular culinary videos.
Because of his famous chef ambitions, the eldest Beckham child, 24, has become quite a meme in recent years.
Whether he’s rolling out a giant cheese wheel for his spaghetti or toasting a sandwich with, well, a blowtorch, the former photojournalist has some unusual cooking habits.
Unfortunately for Brooklyn, it’s not just his food that’s been roasted; the internet has thoroughly dissected his culinary abilities, even going so far as to urge that he’stay out of the kitchen.’
This aspiring Gordon Ramsay, however, seems unfazed, replying to the haters in a recent interview.
‘To be honest, I’m used to the hate,’ he told Insider.
‘It doesn’t really bother me,’ Brooklyn insisted.
‘Cooking makes me happy. I have more important things to worry about than people saying a little bit of rubbish about me.’
The son of David and Victoria then openly addressed his detractors.
‘My message to them is to keep writing whatever they want to write,’ he said.
Brooklyn argued that there ‘are always going to be people who try and pull you down.’
‘I’m doing my thing and working my bum off,’ he said. ‘So they can keep writing what they want, but it’s not going to bother me — I’m just going to keep doing my thing.’
Also in his chat, Brooklyn assured that he’s ‘not a professional at all’ in the kitchen, as he’s still ‘just starting out.’
As for what his future in cooking looks like, he added: ‘I’m just gonna continue doing my videos and see where it takes me.’
Brooklyn has previously spoken about his widely derided cooking, claiming that it helps him ‘take [his] mind off’ his concerns.
He recalls eating pie and mash in the pub with his family after his father David’s football games, but now he’s widened his horizons thanks to his wife Nicola Peltz, 28.
‘Me and my wife, we are obsessed, our favourite food is Japanese, the way the Japanese treat food, they are so careful and so precise,’ he said on Instagram.
Brooklyn has pursued a variety of career paths after growing up in the limelight, including cooking.
The former model initially made headlines in 2017 when he launched What I See, a photographic book including 300 intimate pictures taken by Brooklyn himself.
The effort, however, did not go well, as reviewers derided his photographic approach and slammed his ‘nepo baby’ status.
Brooklyn debuted his Facebook programme, Cookin’ With Brooklyn, in December 2021.
However, the New York Post stated that one eight-minute programme supposedly justified $100,000 (£74,000) and a 62-person team to produce.
And he didn’t help matters by… preparing a sandwich.
Brooklyn has previously admitted to feeling pressure to match up to his former football star father’s achievements.
He told Bustle: ‘I have a lot of anxiety.’
‘And to try and live up to what my dad did, it was just like, it got to the point where I was just, like, I really just want to make my own name for myself.’
