His interjection was fantastic. There's a reason it resonated with viewers. Its inclusion helped it feel like David himself didn't want a totally sanitized vanity project.
@@Micah_4D I was hopeful of finding this comment. The bit about getting 'your people' to contact Fisher Stevens while he was on the set of 'Succession'. It wouldn't be hard to put this proposal in the "How Do I Maintain My Relevance?" category. How do I keep being noticed? spoken about? asked to provide commentary on ....? and - importantly - keep getting invites to prestigious, high-profile events with the social elites? Surely to god he still wants that Knighthood?!!
It resonated because it was genuine and real, it would be insanely hard to fake a scene like that. The fact that he would risk embarrassing his wife to make sure the project was real, told the viewers everything.
Even though it *absolutely* was. The way they danced around David's cheating and never called it what it was was kind of funny to me. I don't mind that it's a vanity project. He didn't have to make it and his fans wanted to watch it. It's no big deal. But it's sort of like that small reveal that makes you feel like they're honest and you know them makes you buy into their narrative so much more. Including places where they definitely massage the truth quite a lot to make their marriage seem ideal. People were literally doing the "Beckham challenge" to see if their partners will dance with them and I was like well they might also cheat on you a lot in other countries but okay. This is not to say that they aren't happy with the life that they've chosen and built together. It's just to say that there are definitely parts of the narrative that we're very tightly controlled and others that were less so
@@lauralouwhooo The cheating thing is interesting, I thought the same as you. But David has always maintained that he didn't cheat. The documentary paints it as if the media (and Loos who isn't mentioned by name) basically made it up but their body language tells a different story. Clearly something happened and it's something they had to work through and I get not wanting to relive bad memories on camera but it defeats the purpose of an open and honest documentary if you're just gonna gloss over it.
Her idea of "working class" comes from a privileged ignorance because of the fact that her family still had to work to live the way they did, but when we regular people talk about working class we know the reality of what it actually means.
Her dad made money & for a while they lived well but then he lost it, which explains why she says “it depends” when asked which car she was dropped off in. The Kardashian’s for example have lived well from the jump but with Victoria, she had a taste of it but mostly had a middle class lifestyle. She claimed benefits in the early 90’s when living in the house with the spice girls. That isn’t someone from a privileged background.
@@angeldelmoroable her parents were working class. Her mother did hair and sold insurance her father was an electronic engineer it wasn't until they created a business that they made money.
All Hollywood interviews are bullshit. I've done a good amount of them and they are all the same. Whenever a Hollywood star who earns 10 or 20M US-Dollar a movie tells you that he or she has to bring out the trash, you know they only say this for show. Or clean the floor. Come on - I don't clean my house and pay someone to do it and you really want to tell me that you are cleaning a mansion with 20 rooms? That would take forever.
Good couple… ? she has been a very good wife to him,Beckham is a cheater and a cheap one ,who would make fun of his mistress in front of his friends ,i have no respect for cynical men !
@@SonGoku-tp8gb They somewhat address David’s cheating in the documentary. They talk around it by saying it was hard on everyone when David went to Spain.
@@SonGoku-tp8gbAllegations correct. They have never said it was true. It was a couple years ago. They have said it was hard because of the way the media covered it. It was all over the news back then and since Beckham wasn’t there Victoria didn’t really know what was going on. Maybe he did maybe he didn’t we will never know.
She grew up in tough times. Her family was poor. Her maid was poor. Their cook was poor. The landscapers were poor. Their driver was poor. Basically everyone was poor.
Victoria Beckham's not posh just very,very rich.The Princess of Wales is posh.Alexander Armstrong is posh.Just because you have money does not make you posh and none of it matters anyway.I don't know why people care about class,it's what you are like as a person that counts,surely?
I mean that’s an authentic interaction between a married couple, my mum or dad would probably of gone with “stop bullshiting” but the spirit is very much the same.
I thought the whole show was hilarious and great for exact that reason. Because David is this refreshingly honest guy. My favorite one was when they stand in the kitchen, the interviewer asked - This kitchen looks like brand new, do you cook a lot in here? And David is like: Yeah, cooked a huge meal here last night - wink, wink :D
Most directors aren't given that much screen time or opportunity to talk about their projects unless they have achieved a level of fame themselves (like actor/directors).
HILARIOUS! "WE came from a working class background." " BE HONEST. What car did your dad use to drive you to school?" "Well, we had a variety." "WHAT CAR?" " Well, we had family that...." " WHAT CAR," "It was a ROLLS Royce." 😂🎉❤
Seeing a lot of comments about how the director shouldn’t have been pissed off but I think a lot of people are misunderstanding what he was pissed about. He was told David wouldn’t be there so he could speak with Victoria privately and when David interrupted and Fisher realized he’d been listening to the whole interview, he was mad. He wasn’t mad David held her accountable. And I understand why people might eyeroll at that but he’s a documentary director, it’s his job, he takes it seriously. Like he said himself, it was a great moment and he’s glad it happened. He was explaining the process of the scene and what was going on. Media literacy is dead. Good lord.
Then it makes it null and void because he wouldn't have been able to hold her accountable if he wasn't there. It would have been another lie from another rich celebrity shilling poverty when they grew up rather well off. Can't have it both ways.
@@deja_ Absolutely. They're so up theirs lies, they didn't realized they exposed their dirty work. Though now going through the comments, I start to looose faith on people. As long as it's a celebrity, who care about "details" ?
It’s because most people see the title of the video and comment before seeing the video. They have a thought in their head that they want to get out immediately even if it makes them look dumb by the end of it all.
Totally agree with your take. Yup makes sense, and I roughly knew from how the video played out director was mad at David being there not really the interruption due to his professionalism. But 'media literacy being dead' I wouldn't care less haha, it's honestly the last thing in importance, skill wise at least for me (more of a work and family kind of person, celebs and variety shows are literally non existent in my life) I'm surprised I even watched this vid, as I think many others are too, saw it randomly and David hooked me with that scene (was watching some financial vids and DIY tutorials before that)
It only gets worse from here mate, there are but a few of us left on the internet that understands context and not having knee jerk reactions every ten seconds. How can one live that way?
Ever see Short Circuit? He plays an Indian man, who makes a robot, that gains sentience. It’s so bad it’s good. Some just love it. The sequel is him, without the stars of the first one, and it’s a train wreck of bad decisions. It’s worth looking for a few clips of. Check it out. He was also the antagonist in Hackers, in the 90’s.
That scene which I saw clips of is why I watched the documentary! I was blown by the honesty of that couple. In that he checked her and she conceded. Like you can tell these to hold each other accountable and I'm sure Victoria has done this to him we just never seen it.
I'm just blown away with the director and the productors being fine with people lying on cameras, as long as they like what's being said. They were shooting a documentary, not a fiction. 🤮🤮🤮🤮 That's why the scene popped out so well, to the point of Variety having a clip on that only. And no tripod, knowing how heavy a camera is !! What the F... ??? By the way they're tripod which you can turn the camera with. Obiviously he's not the one whom had to carry it. And about Victoria, even though I don't know her, she never appealed to me. And that scene might explain why. However, I'm glad David Beckam was able to make her get out of her comfort zone. That said a lot about him, and also her. 'Cause you can't stay married that long if you don't get along on a few things. There's still something I can't find attractive in her, but it speak volume on her behalf, though I won't take her side just like you did.
@@oceaneo4603 Agree 💯% David was honest, and Fisher being a coward and wanting to paint a work of fan fiction according to Victoria's version of the truth is BS. I am glad that David interjected and called her out. If you own a Rolls Royce you aren't working class. You work for your money, you can brag about that, but don't try to put a blue collar title on yourself as working class. Those are 2 different things! I watch this and Fisher is trying to defend himself and how he was trying to present the truth, but dude has no backbone if he wanted to edit out David. I am glad that they kept the footage and didnt edit out the interview. Documentaries should be real and they shouldn't try to sugarcoat things.
OMG THATS HIM???? The Psych Phoebe was dating??? Wow!!!!!! Whole new appreciation just opened up. He’s been in the business a lonngggg time! And idk why all the characters hated him in the episode lol. I would have LOVED to have that kind of insight in my life by a friend. Even if it’s a harsh truth, they hold up a mirror for you and you can grow from there. It didn’t really make sense to me but I still love that episode
I assume you are talking about Fisher Stevens. David Beckham was never on Friends. David only made an appearance on the Friends Reunion to tell people how much he loved the show.
Victoria is used to so much scrutiny so it makes sense she's guarded and worried about perception but when she's herself she's so so lovable and I hope she feels that. It's really all it takes, none of us can help our background.
I went to NYU with Fisher. We took two semesters of Spanish together. In the class, he became, "Esteban," and I was "Jaime." The third in our trio of sad sacks striving to speak Spanish successfully was named Serita. Her name in class was... Serita. We hung out between classes at a place called Googies (I think I got that right.) Fisher was cheeky and funny. Serita was a bit high-strung but smart and easy to like. They were the only real friends I made in the two and a half years I was there at NYU. I've followed Fisher's career off and on over the past many years, seeing him go from actor to director and producer. He's had a very interesting and fascinating career. I haven't seen him since we were at school in the 80s. Fisher, if you ever see this, give me a shout. It would be great to catch up.
Yeah, I was caught out by that. It is a very mixed place though. Got two Urban Priority Areas right next to the wealthy parts. St Paul's and Whaddon (both on the north side) are very poor - not exactly rough, but definitely deprived. Pittville, where the football ground is, is really mixed itself. It's got the park and the pump rooms, and a private school, but also some really poor quality housing around the football ground. It's a confused kind of place.
David kept it real, Victoria didn’t grow up working class, and her life now is so far from it. She has no need to be ashamed of it, they’ve both worked very hard for all they have. Tough luck that it pissed you off, who cares?
I think it pissed him off in the moment because he was trying to create a comfortable space for Victoria, and they worked to have David out of the house.
Seems like a culture clash aswell. To British people this just seems like a normal thing to do and funny to put her right, and her reaction is comedic aswell. But to others it looks like he's invading some sacred space and she's offended, and I don't think it's that at all. This is just British 'marriage banter' that is absolutely normal between long term partners. They're both funny and quite self-deprecating people I think. Nothing to get pearl clutchy about.
I think your point about being ashamed is Key here. There has been a strong cultural shift to talking about Nepo babies and privilege and really despising generational wealth in the last couple of decades. I don't think she was trying to lie per se, but I think that she didn't want to talk about those things and have the topic of conversation move away from David and towards her wealthy upbringing, possibly bringing ridicule to the documentary. The fact that he wasn't really angry about it, and that she capitulated so easily, really says to me that she's anxious and he's forcing her out of her comfort zone.
As a writer and filmmaker, this is one of the most brilliant pieces of BTS I've ever came across on this entire website. There is educational gold within every moment of this video.
I LOVE this documentary! I knew absolutely nothing about their story, and Fisher, Michael , Victoria and David had me rooting for them all the way to the end of the docuseries.🥳👍🏾🎬
Thing is though, it is actually more complicated than the fact that her had a Rolls Royce. He did. yes, but he was a self-made man. Her family were working class and he worked his way up, started an electronics wholesale business with his wife (an insurance clerk and hairdresser) that did well and allowed them to live comfortably. So she wasn't 'lying' in the way people are making out. David wanted her to be honest about the fact that she had a wealthier childhood than him, but that doesn't mean what she was saying was false, it's more nuanced than that and she was clearly trying to explain that when she said 'it's more complicated than that'.
I hear what you're saying. It would have been good to hear her explain more. An example comes to mind to people who have grown up in fancy neighbourhoods and went to good schools who have a hard time explaining to others that they weren't as wealthy as everyone imagined (example a housekeeper whose employee helped her pay tuition for her kids and got them a smaller house not far so she wouldn't have to commute. From the outside in, her kids seemed rich and had many privileges, but it could have ended anytime if the employee had moved, died or fired her)
That’s fine and all, but the question was about HER childhood. Not her dad, who grew up poor and became self made. If I have a parent who ends up becoming a millionaire through hard work, I can’t really say I know what it’s like, because I didn’t earn it. Nor can I say I know what it is to be raised by the working class, people living paycheck to paycheck, who can’t even afford to send their kid to private school much less take the family on a yearly vacation. That was David’s point. She still grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth and it shows. Victoria was famous on her own merit for all of 5 seconds (No spice girl slander because I love them) but let’s be real, their rise to the top ended as quickly as it began. Yet Victoria has always had a “posh”, rich society, socialite attitude, and you don’t get that coming from the labor class.
@@Thobela-h3xnot remotely the same thing. Her dad was self made and ended up becoming the exec and owner and boss to hundreds of others. By no means is he remotely even in the same bracket as a housekeeper.
To the people trying to twist this, come on... her father worked hard... but he was not working class, he was an electrical engineer, that engineers are not working class.... who founded an electrical engineering firm with her mother, and they made considerable money. THAT IS NOT WORKING CLASS. She was not, however, just miscommunicating her meaning... she was outright lying. Or trying to. It has been reported for decades, that even attending a Church of England run high school, with quite a large middle class attendance, she was embarrassed by her families affluence, even back then. She, for example, rarely mentioned attending an Arts School, and often begged her father NOT to drop her off of a morning or pick her up of an afternoon, due to that Rolls Royce making it clear she was from some degree of money, even by the standards of her peers from relatively wealthy families. She has, apparently, been quite uncomfortable with her origins in that regard, for many years dating back to that time, and has downplayed her upbringing before. I am sure for a guy who's father installed kitchens, and mother was a hairdresser, and came from where.... Hackney was it..... to hear that from someone of her background, even if it IS his wife, is just insulting. There would be all kinds of little things he knows, which show the contrasts in where they come from, they both, for example, wanted to be what they became, she a singer and dancer, he a soccer player, from childhood, neither imagining being anything else, at least if you hear them tell it.... but I'm sure he knows that for his wife, that meant Art College... but for him, it meant attending church every Sunday, even though he was not religious, because they had good football team, and to play for them you had be part of the congregation, things like that. There'd be a ton of little subtle examples of her having doors open, where he had to climb a wall or make a sacrifice. Everyone knows that physics applies less to the affluent, for they have a much higher likelihood of 'falling upwards' than working class people. Not that I claim she did, I'm sure she was a great performer who would have been a Spice Girl had she grown up in a mud hut and been taken to school in a goat cart... but she did not, and was not, the opposite in fact. That definitely would have smoothed the pathway, rather than thrown obstacles on to it, and HE knows that, first hand. She deserved to be checked. He checks his kids too, from my understanding. So he should. Through his athletic talent, he became rich, but he knows what it is like to not be, to live a very average working class life, a life his wife did not live, nor his children now do... so they need to have their privilege checked, and be reminded of their extreme good fortune.
You're points are well made, but I just want to say that attending an Arts School in the UK doesn't mean your rich or come from a rich family (ironically, it is sometimes the opposite). University was not so expensive in the UK 20 years ago. It is still not expensive compared to some places and is in fact completely free in Scotland (if you're Scottish or have lived in Scotland for 3+ years).
@@michaellundie2188 Some Arts schools are aimed at accessibility for working class and poor people... ....but many are still fee institutions...and even moderate fees, are beyond most working class people. Private schools, Arts colleges, Alternative schools, even in England, all these are beyond most working class people. Even ones with limited costs. Unless founded as charity, and chartered as such, and deliberately made to serve those people, they are still inaccessible. I think many middle class people are out of touch with just How much harder access to those things are for working class and poor people.
Although Victoria might find the moment embarrassing, as a viewer, it's refreshing to observe this authentic moment. Naturally, people hide behind the facade they want others to see. Not appreciating how relatable their real interactions are and how much others can connect with it.
David didn't mind Victoria sugarcoating things in her interview when she was asked about David cheating on her. If it makes her look bad, he is fine with it, but if it makes him look bad then he wants her to stay quiet.
Yeah I thought that was weird. It didn’t seem genuine. I hadn’t even heard of that back then so I was learning about it for the first time in the doc. She just said soemthing like “that was a really tough time cause it felt like the world was against us.” Huh? Is it because the world wanted to split you two lovebirds up or did your husband cheat on you and you’re just not comfortable saying it out loud? Cause it didn’t sound like either of them admitted it. Just left it to the viewer to draw their own conclusion. So odd.
To be fair, talking about your dad sending you to school in a Rolls Royce is way easier than talking about infidelity. Whether you’re the cheater or the cheated.
What’s crazy is how many people don’t know how she got her name: POSH SPICE. it was given to her by an interviewer in the very early days of the Spice Girls. the interviewer gave each girl a nickname based on what she’d learned about them. When she learned that Victoria CAME FROM EXTREME WEALTH, she nicknamed her Posh. The fact that she tried to lie to the entire planet when that information is at the ready to anyone who knows history from 20 years ago is actually kind of insane. and David probably corrected her like that because he wanted to make sure she hadn’t lost her mind.
I can totally relate to her perspective though. Her family wasn't always wealthy. That her Dad drove a Rolls while she was at school doesn't tell the beginning. When I was a little kid all our clothes and toys were from car boot sales and we ate a hell of a lot of rice, beans and mince because it was cheap. But while we went through school my Mums career really accelerated a lot and eventually by the time I was about 9 or 10 we started to get nice cars, good food, multiple extensions to our house, holidays travelling the world etc. We knew what it was like to live a working class life because that was where we were at in the very beginning and we saw how much work it took to get out of that. It's not the same as being born into wealth because you've experienced both sides first hand.
I think it was the humour that made this series. Kudos to the team (always been a fan of Fisher Stevens -that voice-!) and editing and of course the Beckhams who allowed this vision of their lives!!
I was not initially expecting much from this documentary but it was phenomenal. That be honest scene had me hooked as it did for every one that I know who saw it. A HUGE well done to all involved 👍👍
They were genuinely came from working class families who became successful. Victoria was part of her families trajectory so she IS working class. Even her accent illustrates this. I don’t think she was being inauthentic - it’s just her perspective. Great documentary though
@@donjohnson2758 Working class just means you sell your labour (you do work for money). If you get income passively through ownership of assets or businesses, you're not working class.
Since 90% of the comments are confused or flat out wrong, let me break it down: the British class system is not the same as the US class system. Having a Rolls Royce in the UK does not change your social class. You can be a working class billionaire. As soon as they open their mouths, British people can tell they're working class. So it is primarily cultural and familial, and rarely changes in one generation. Kate Middleton is middle class despite the Princess title. The businessman Alan Sugar is a billionaire, was made a lord, is referred to as Lord Sugar, yet is still very much working class. So when Victoria and David dispute her social class, this is because they both have different notions of what class is. Victoria's understanding of class is British, she thinks about her family origins, possibly education and culture, whereas David seems to apply the more modern US concept of class as being about wealth. And no, labelling herself as working class has nothing to do with 'privilege' or other buzzwords, she's simply demonstrating that she is aware of British notions of class.
This is a FASCINATING behind-the-scenes look. Thank you so much for this Variety team, this is the kind of BTS content that I’ve been missing since special features have become more and more rare on physical media.
Even if they didn't make this film, their upbringing is still obvious in the demographics they cater to. David has an affordable fragrance line (which I think is great), and Victoria caters to a higher end demographic. Don't know why she was lying here.
Because in England her Dad would have had a working class accent and posh people would therefore always look down on him no matter how many Rolls Royce's he owned.
I'm an American who learned about Football(soccer) from my Irish grandmother. I knew about David growing up through his famous accolades but didn't watch him play regretfully. However, this Docusereis is one of the best I've ever seen, and I have a newfound respect and love for the Beckhams.
Watching David in interviews and other things in the later years, he's really struck me as someone who's really learned from his earlier places in life. He seems so intelligent, insightful and thoughtful. He has become a good man.
I know Fisher Stevens was in Short circuit and guest starred in Friends, but, his best roll is still as Marvin Gerrard, Raymond Reddingtons Lawyer in the Blacklist.
I don’t think it’s shocking that it was so popular. This was the absolute first time we ever got a glimpse into their relationship so closely. All we ever knew of them was paparazzi cameras and finely tuned interviews.
Recent true antidote, in 2024 to celebrate their 25 wedding anniversary they wanted to book the venue in Ireland where they got married. A young couple already had the venue booked for their wedding. The Beckhams through a third party respectfully asked them to move the date of their wedding and offered to pay all bills related to the new date. The couple declined, they then offered to fully pay for a wedding anywhere in the world. The couple again declined. Finally through the same third party they revealed who they were and they respectfully offered to pay all expenses, pay for their honeymoon, pay off their entire mortgage and give them a personal gift. The couple agreed. The Beckhams had their anniversary celebration and the couple had their entire wedding for over 150 people at the most expensive venue in Ireland and had their home paid for and they received personalized signed gifts from the Beckhams. The couple tell anyone who asks that the Beckhams are ordinary, decent, down to earth people. They were respectful and deferential throughout the entire transaction.
It pissed you off? She was lying to everyone’s face! The only thing that saved the whole thing was him correcting her. She sounded tone deaf and what a liar. Thanks to David for he showed her the mirror.
That’s the man who saved her from further embarrassment l, if people have found out what her dad was driving in 80s people would have called her liar and hoax. David kept her on ground and truthful.
That's how it is in England, if you lie or exaggerate we'll call you out. Being nice up front and then mean behind your back is just not how things are done.
He made the moment by calling her out. She would have been ripped to shreds by the public and dragged through the mud by media, if he hadn't spoken up. She gets side-eye and eye-rolls out of this moment now, but it would have been mortifying for her if she had gone on about being working class when she wasn't.
i am 50 and in my teens my dad drove a new mercedes, still we had to work hard and i went to state school. so just cuz u have a fancy car doesn't mean you are not working class. i see loads of cashiers, secretaries etc buy Louis Vuitton handbags, probably had to saves months for one. I think she is working class regardless of what her dad drove her to school in
You’re just like her, working class people don’t drive a new Mercedes, if that’s working class then what class are poor people? You think your parents worked as hard as poor people? That’s the working class, those people at the bus stop you rode by in your Mercedes.

Dude, I had no idea Fisher Stevens directed. This might be an old reference, but he played one of my favorite characters in ‘Numb3rs,’ and because of that I get excited whenever I see him in anything 😃 I might have to check this documentary out 😄
It's funny that Fisher Stevens didn't know who Beckham was because he played the co-founder of FIFA in "United Passions" the 2014 FIFA funded movie about their history!
His interjection was fantastic. There's a reason it resonated with viewers. Its inclusion helped it feel like David himself didn't want a totally sanitized vanity project.

Poor her. 🤨🤣
The clue was in her being called 'posh spice'.
“You see, I was using ‘Posh’ ironically…”
“BE HONEST.”
It was a journalist who came up with the Spice Girls monikers, not themselves or their record company.
@JohnRCWilson maybe so, but they didn't come up with it by accident...
Victoria Beckham's not posh just very,very rich.The Princess of Wales is posh.Alexander Armstrong is posh.Just because you have money does not make you posh and none of it matters anyway.I don't know why people care about class,it's what you are like as a person that counts,surely?
@@alisonhope1Well said, Alison.
I mean that’s an authentic interaction between a married couple, my mum or dad would probably of gone with “stop bullshiting” but the spirit is very much the same.
now that you said it.
I thought the whole show was hilarious and great for exact that reason. Because David is this refreshingly honest guy.
My favorite one was when they stand in the kitchen, the interviewer asked - This kitchen looks like brand new, do you cook a lot in here?
And David is like: Yeah, cooked a huge meal here last night - wink, wink :D
Would probably ********have********* gone.

You don't hear or see honesty like this very often from directors, on video, talking about their latest project. I respect this A LOT.
They threatened to turn him into a goomba again if he didn't do a good job.
Most directors aren't given that much screen time or opportunity to talk about their projects unless they have achieved a level of fame themselves (like actor/directors).
I think that scene was so candid that it really became a central part of the interview.

HILARIOUS! "WE came from a working class background." " BE HONEST. What car did your dad use to drive you to school?" "Well, we had a variety." "WHAT CAR?" " Well, we had family that...." " WHAT CAR," "It was a ROLLS Royce." 😂🎉❤
Seeing a lot of comments about how the director shouldn’t have been pissed off but I think a lot of people are misunderstanding what he was pissed about. He was told David wouldn’t be there so he could speak with Victoria privately and when David interrupted and Fisher realized he’d been listening to the whole interview, he was mad. He wasn’t mad David held her accountable.
And I understand why people might eyeroll at that but he’s a documentary director, it’s his job, he takes it seriously. Like he said himself, it was a great moment and he’s glad it happened. He was explaining the process of the scene and what was going on.
Media literacy is dead. Good lord.
Then it makes it null and void because he wouldn't have been able to hold her accountable if he wasn't there. It would have been another lie from another rich celebrity shilling poverty when they grew up rather well off. Can't have it both ways.
@@deja_ Absolutely. They're so up theirs lies, they didn't realized they exposed their dirty work.
Though now going through the comments, I start to looose faith on people. As long as it's a celebrity, who care about "details" ?
It’s because most people see the title of the video and comment before seeing the video. They have a thought in their head that they want to get out immediately even if it makes them look dumb by the end of it all.
Totally agree with your take. Yup makes sense, and I roughly knew from how the video played out director was mad at David being there not really the interruption due to his professionalism.
But 'media literacy being dead' I wouldn't care less haha, it's honestly the last thing in importance, skill wise at least for me (more of a work and family kind of person, celebs and variety shows are literally non existent in my life)
I'm surprised I even watched this vid, as I think many others are too, saw it randomly and David hooked me with that scene (was watching some financial vids and DIY tutorials before that)
It only gets worse from here mate, there are but a few of us left on the internet that understands context and not having knee jerk reactions every ten seconds. How can one live that way?
Didn’t know Hugo from Succession was a director 😮
Ever see Short Circuit?
He plays an Indian man, who makes a robot, that gains sentience.
It’s so bad it’s good. Some just love it.
The sequel is him, without the stars of the first one, and it’s a train wreck of bad decisions.
It’s worth looking for a few clips of. Check it out.
He was also the antagonist in Hackers, in the 90’s.
he is also in friends
Don't forget Super Mario Bros
had to do something after carolina replaced him
Don't forget Early Edition.
David just saved his wife from lying. That's a good man right there.
That scene which I saw clips of is why I watched the documentary! I was blown by the honesty of that couple. In that he checked her and she conceded. Like you can tell these to hold each other accountable and I'm sure Victoria has done this to him we just never seen it.
Yeah, fuckin' A.
I'm just blown away with the director and the productors being fine with people lying on cameras, as long as they like what's being said. They were shooting a documentary, not a fiction. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
That's why the scene popped out so well, to the point of Variety having a clip on that only.
And no tripod, knowing how heavy a camera is !! What the F... ??? By the way they're tripod which you can turn the camera with. Obiviously he's not the one whom had to carry it.
And about Victoria, even though I don't know her, she never appealed to me. And that scene might explain why.
However, I'm glad David Beckam was able to make her get out of her comfort zone.
That said a lot about him, and also her. 'Cause you can't stay married that long if you don't get along on a few things. There's still something I can't find attractive in her, but it speak volume on her behalf, though I won't take her side just like you did.
@@oceaneo4603 Agree 💯% David was honest, and Fisher being a coward and wanting to paint a work of fan fiction according to Victoria's version of the truth is BS. I am glad that David interjected and called her out. If you own a Rolls Royce you aren't working class. You work for your money, you can brag about that, but don't try to put a blue collar title on yourself as working class. Those are 2 different things! I watch this and Fisher is trying to defend himself and how he was trying to present the truth, but dude has no backbone if he wanted to edit out David. I am glad that they kept the footage and didnt edit out the interview. Documentaries should be real and they shouldn't try to sugarcoat things.
Am i the only one who remembers him as Roger from Friends? “I hate that guy” 😂
OMG THATS HIM???? The Psych Phoebe was dating???
Wow!!!!!!
Whole new appreciation just opened up. He’s been in the business a lonngggg time!
And idk why all the characters hated him in the episode lol. I would have LOVED to have that kind of insight in my life by a friend.
Even if it’s a harsh truth, they hold up a mirror for you and you can grow from there. It didn’t really make sense to me but I still love that episode
Same. Saw the eyes, the look and his voice and New it was him xd
@@h3artands0uLL yeah 😂
it is honestly tough to not imagine him on the skateboard with a trench-coat in Hackers and ofc can'tt help thinking _Johnny5 is alive!_
I assume you are talking about Fisher Stevens.
David Beckham was never on Friends.
David only made an appearance on the Friends Reunion to tell people how much he loved the show.
David a REAL one! "Thank you"...walks out.
Victoria is used to so much scrutiny so it makes sense she's guarded and worried about perception but when she's herself she's so so lovable and I hope she feels that. It's really all it takes, none of us can help our background.
She is super sweet!
I went to NYU with Fisher. We took two semesters of Spanish together. In the class, he became, "Esteban," and I was "Jaime." The third in our trio of sad sacks striving to speak Spanish successfully was named Serita. Her name in class was... Serita. We hung out between classes at a place called Googies (I think I got that right.) Fisher was cheeky and funny. Serita was a bit high-strung but smart and easy to like. They were the only real friends I made in the two and a half years I was there at NYU.
I've followed Fisher's career off and on over the past many years, seeing him go from actor to director and producer. He's had a very interesting and fascinating career. I haven't seen him since we were at school in the 80s. Fisher, if you ever see this, give me a shout. It would be great to catch up.
David said it in a teasing way, keeping her honest was great. That’s a documentary, real can be uncomfortable.
"be HONEST" 🤣🤣 you gotta love the guy.
the same guy cheated on his wife :))
@@hadanghuy1901 and if he wasn't honest at the end of the day, you wouldn't know about that.

😅 Bath is basically the Bronx in the 70s to this guy. No wonder he couldn't figure out how to edit his doc....
Yeah, I was caught out by that. It is a very mixed place though. Got two Urban Priority Areas right next to the wealthy parts. St Paul's and Whaddon (both on the north side) are very poor - not exactly rough, but definitely deprived. Pittville, where the football ground is, is really mixed itself. It's got the park and the pump rooms, and a private school, but also some really poor quality housing around the football ground. It's a confused kind of place.
To be fair, he's talking about the grounds at places like Cheltenham. Whaddon Road's not exactly Old Trafford, not as many leaking roof areas 😂
and that's how u keep a marriage based in truth and free of resentment. seeing that should be a huge lesson for a lot of ppl.
the same documentary he dodges the question about his affair lmao
Shower us in your wisdom oh Mariah
David kept it real, Victoria didn’t grow up working class, and her life now is so far from it. She has no need to be ashamed of it, they’ve both worked very hard for all they have. Tough luck that it pissed you off, who cares?
I think it pissed him off in the moment because he was trying to create a comfortable space for Victoria, and they worked to have David out of the house.
Seems like a culture clash aswell. To British people this just seems like a normal thing to do and funny to put her right, and her reaction is comedic aswell. But to others it looks like he's invading some sacred space and she's offended, and I don't think it's that at all. This is just British 'marriage banter' that is absolutely normal between long term partners. They're both funny and quite self-deprecating people I think. Nothing to get pearl clutchy about.
@@MrMisanthrope84 I think the culture clash here is normal people vs the terminally online 😅
I think your point about being ashamed is Key here.
There has been a strong cultural shift to talking about Nepo babies and privilege and really despising generational wealth in the last couple of decades. I don't think she was trying to lie per se, but I think that she didn't want to talk about those things and have the topic of conversation move away from David and towards her wealthy upbringing, possibly bringing ridicule to the documentary.
The fact that he wasn't really angry about it, and that she capitulated so easily, really says to me that she's anxious and he's forcing her out of her comfort zone.
No, I get it. If they weren't this close as a couple, it could have shut her up completely and completely derailed the entire documentary.
Glad to see Fisher is still active in filmmaking.
His work in Short Circuit 2 remains his masterpiece
He seems a bit full of himself
@@muximus2771 yeah I could see that. He’s like a lot of boomers that way.

It’s good. Especially the stuff with Ferguson. He did not apologise at all for his decisions.
that's sad.
As a writer and filmmaker, this is one of the most brilliant pieces of BTS I've ever came across on this entire website. There is educational gold within every moment of this video.
He was completely in the right for correcting her. A real partner would not let their partner live in delusion.
I LOVE this documentary! I knew absolutely nothing about their story, and Fisher, Michael , Victoria and David had me rooting for them all the way to the end of the docuseries.🥳👍🏾🎬
It was very well made and good for both life long fans of David and complete newcomers as well. Great insight.
He was encouraging his wife not be self-conscious about her childhood. "Be honest". Perfect, loving accountability.
David saved her from backlash !
Its an honest realtime scene. Weve all been with significant others when we have to call bullshit.
OMG I remember Fisher Stevens in Short Circuit movies and Early Edition. I had no idea he was involved in the Beckham documentary.
Thing is though, it is actually more complicated than the fact that her had a Rolls Royce. He did. yes, but he was a self-made man. Her family were working class and he worked his way up, started an electronics wholesale business with his wife (an insurance clerk and hairdresser) that did well and allowed them to live comfortably. So she wasn't 'lying' in the way people are making out. David wanted her to be honest about the fact that she had a wealthier childhood than him, but that doesn't mean what she was saying was false, it's more nuanced than that and she was clearly trying to explain that when she said 'it's more complicated than that'.
Yes, the father was working class. But in his earlier life. She was not raised in a low income working class household.
Yes her father not her. How many kids grew up with a Rolls Royce as school trip?
I hear what you're saying. It would have been good to hear her explain more. An example comes to mind to people who have grown up in fancy neighbourhoods and went to good schools who have a hard time explaining to others that they weren't as wealthy as everyone imagined (example a housekeeper whose employee helped her pay tuition for her kids and got them a smaller house not far so she wouldn't have to commute. From the outside in, her kids seemed rich and had many privileges, but it could have ended anytime if the employee had moved, died or fired her)
That’s fine and all, but the question was about HER childhood. Not her dad, who grew up poor and became self made. If I have a parent who ends up becoming a millionaire through hard work, I can’t really say I know what it’s like, because I didn’t earn it. Nor can I say I know what it is to be raised by the working class, people living paycheck to paycheck, who can’t even afford to send their kid to private school much less take the family on a yearly vacation. That was David’s point. She still grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth and it shows. Victoria was famous on her own merit for all of 5 seconds (No spice girl slander because I love them) but let’s be real, their rise to the top ended as quickly as it began. Yet Victoria has always had a “posh”, rich society, socialite attitude, and you don’t get that coming from the labor class.
@@Thobela-h3xnot remotely the same thing. Her dad was self made and ended up becoming the exec and owner and boss to hundreds of others. By no means is he remotely even in the same bracket as a housekeeper.
To the people trying to twist this, come on... her father worked hard... but he was not working class, he was an electrical engineer, that engineers are not working class.... who founded an electrical engineering firm with her mother, and they made considerable money. THAT IS NOT WORKING CLASS.
She was not, however, just miscommunicating her meaning... she was outright lying. Or trying to. It has been reported for decades, that even attending a Church of England run high school, with quite a large middle class attendance, she was embarrassed by her families affluence, even back then. She, for example, rarely mentioned attending an Arts School, and often begged her father NOT to drop her off of a morning or pick her up of an afternoon, due to that Rolls Royce making it clear she was from some degree of money, even by the standards of her peers from relatively wealthy families.
She has, apparently, been quite uncomfortable with her origins in that regard, for many years dating back to that time, and has downplayed her upbringing before.
I am sure for a guy who's father installed kitchens, and mother was a hairdresser, and came from where.... Hackney was it..... to hear that from someone of her background, even if it IS his wife, is just insulting. There would be all kinds of little things he knows, which show the contrasts in where they come from, they both, for example, wanted to be what they became, she a singer and dancer, he a soccer player, from childhood, neither imagining being anything else, at least if you hear them tell it.... but I'm sure he knows that for his wife, that meant Art College... but for him, it meant attending church every Sunday, even though he was not religious, because they had good football team, and to play for them you had be part of the congregation, things like that. There'd be a ton of little subtle examples of her having doors open, where he had to climb a wall or make a sacrifice. Everyone knows that physics applies less to the affluent, for they have a much higher likelihood of 'falling upwards' than working class people. Not that I claim she did, I'm sure she was a great performer who would have been a Spice Girl had she grown up in a mud hut and been taken to school in a goat cart... but she did not, and was not, the opposite in fact. That definitely would have smoothed the pathway, rather than thrown obstacles on to it, and HE knows that, first hand.
She deserved to be checked. He checks his kids too, from my understanding. So he should. Through his athletic talent, he became rich, but he knows what it is like to not be, to live a very average working class life, a life his wife did not live, nor his children now do... so they need to have their privilege checked, and be reminded of their extreme good fortune.
You're points are well made, but I just want to say that attending an Arts School in the UK doesn't mean your rich or come from a rich family (ironically, it is sometimes the opposite). University was not so expensive in the UK 20 years ago. It is still not expensive compared to some places and is in fact completely free in Scotland (if you're Scottish or have lived in Scotland for 3+ years).
@@michaellundie2188 Some Arts schools are aimed at accessibility for working class and poor people...
....but many are still fee institutions...and even moderate fees, are beyond most working class people.
Private schools, Arts colleges, Alternative schools, even in England, all these are beyond most working class people.
Even ones with limited costs. Unless founded as charity, and chartered as such, and deliberately made to serve those people, they are still inaccessible.
I think many middle class people are out of touch with just How much harder access to those things are for working class and poor people.
Mr Steven’s and Mr Harte did a fabulous job on this documentary. Hope to see them work together in the future.
Although Victoria might find the moment embarrassing, as a viewer, it's refreshing to observe this authentic moment. Naturally, people hide behind the facade they want others to see. Not appreciating how relatable their real interactions are and how much others can connect with it.
David didn't mind Victoria sugarcoating things in her interview when she was asked about David cheating on her. If it makes her look bad, he is fine with it, but if it makes him look bad then he wants her to stay quiet.
Yeah I thought that was weird. It didn’t seem genuine. I hadn’t even heard of that back then so I was learning about it for the first time in the doc.
She just said soemthing like “that was a really tough time cause it felt like the world was against us.”
Huh? Is it because the world wanted to split you two lovebirds up or did your husband cheat on you and you’re just not comfortable saying it out loud?
Cause it didn’t sound like either of them admitted it. Just left it to the viewer to draw their own conclusion.
So odd.
To be fair, talking about your dad sending you to school in a Rolls Royce is way easier than talking about infidelity. Whether you’re the cheater or the cheated.
@@h3artands0uLL Ya, allegations until proven remain allegations.😂
a woman made allegations about him.
Did he cheat or were there allegations from strangers?
The guy from SUCCESSION?!
Try the guy from Short Circuit
Yeah, a Rolls-Royce as the family car isn't "working class".
What’s crazy is how many people don’t know how she got her name: POSH SPICE. it was given to her by an interviewer in the very early days of the Spice Girls. the interviewer gave each girl a nickname based on what she’d learned about them. When she learned that Victoria CAME FROM EXTREME WEALTH, she nicknamed her Posh. The fact that she tried to lie to the entire planet when that information is at the ready to anyone who knows history from 20 years ago is actually kind of insane. and David probably corrected her like that because he wanted to make sure she hadn’t lost her mind.
I can totally relate to her perspective though. Her family wasn't always wealthy. That her Dad drove a Rolls while she was at school doesn't tell the beginning. When I was a little kid all our clothes and toys were from car boot sales and we ate a hell of a lot of rice, beans and mince because it was cheap. But while we went through school my Mums career really accelerated a lot and eventually by the time I was about 9 or 10 we started to get nice cars, good food, multiple extensions to our house, holidays travelling the world etc. We knew what it was like to live a working class life because that was where we were at in the very beginning and we saw how much work it took to get out of that. It's not the same as being born into wealth because you've experienced both sides first hand.
I think it was the humour that made this series. Kudos to the team (always been a fan of Fisher Stevens -that voice-!) and editing and of course the Beckhams who allowed this vision of their lives!!
This interview made me really curious. I had to watch the Documentary. Ended up binging
It’s brilliant
I didn’t know Fischer had cancer. Really hope he gets treatment and recovers
It was a great documentary. This is super insightful to hear the director and editor discuss their workflow.
I can't look at this guy without vividly picturing him as Ben Jabituya from Short Circuit 2 💀
I was not initially expecting much from this documentary but it was phenomenal. That be honest scene had me hooked as it did for every one that I know who saw it. A HUGE well done to all involved 👍👍
David completely took the piss out of his "posh" wife and that's why everyone loves the scene and the two of them as a couple.
Me watching- "I'm liking the Beckham's more than I thought." Me hearing the Plague in the background, "I'ma finish this!" ❤ed this doc.
In the UK, working class and middle class isn’t always about income, sometimes it is about identity and education
They were genuinely came from working class families who became successful. Victoria was part of her families trajectory so she IS working class. Even her accent illustrates this. I don’t think she was being inauthentic - it’s just her perspective. Great documentary though
That’s flat out Bullshit. Income always is relevant in CLASS discussion. That comes from an extremely privileged vantage point.
@@PassiveAgressive319 Working class is NOT the same thing as having to work for a living or being a hard worker.
@@donjohnson2758 Working class just means you sell your labour (you do work for money). If you get income passively through ownership of assets or businesses, you're not working class.
So status can outweigh actual money in England? Thats very progressive of them.
This was great actually. He saved her from becoming a joke.
Fisher Stevens has made a great move into directing. Very awesome!
fabulous interview segment. Now, I want to watch the documentary. Mission accomplished.
Since 90% of the comments are confused or flat out wrong, let me break it down: the British class system is not the same as the US class system. Having a Rolls Royce in the UK does not change your social class. You can be a working class billionaire. As soon as they open their mouths, British people can tell they're working class. So it is primarily cultural and familial, and rarely changes in one generation. Kate Middleton is middle class despite the Princess title. The businessman Alan Sugar is a billionaire, was made a lord, is referred to as Lord Sugar, yet is still very much working class. So when Victoria and David dispute her social class, this is because they both have different notions of what class is. Victoria's understanding of class is British, she thinks about her family origins, possibly education and culture, whereas David seems to apply the more modern US concept of class as being about wealth. And no, labelling herself as working class has nothing to do with 'privilege' or other buzzwords, she's simply demonstrating that she is aware of British notions of class.
No one, anywhere, can in fact be a "working class billionaire," get real

This is a FASCINATING behind-the-scenes look. Thank you so much for this Variety team, this is the kind of BTS content that I’ve been missing since special features have become more and more rare on physical media.
I find it so random that Hugo from Succession made a doc about Beckham haha.
He only said what every single viewer was thinking.
Even if they didn't make this film, their upbringing is still obvious in the demographics they cater to. David has an affordable fragrance line (which I think is great), and Victoria caters to a higher end demographic. Don't know why she was lying here.
Because in England her Dad would have had a working class accent and posh people would therefore always look down on him no matter how many Rolls Royce's he owned.
I knew the director looked familiar. Fisher Stevens was Phoebe's psychologist boyfriend Roger from FRIENDS.
Thank you, I knew he looked familiar.
Why is everyone talking about Fisher- and no one is talking about the guy who did the editing??
Cuz he was in movies like Short Circuit and in TV series like Early Edition
"I didn't have a clue who this guy was" 😂😂 sure because we all remember the world famous Fisher Stevens 😂😂
It feels like Fisher is the nonchalant Englishman and the Becks are the fame-loving Americans, not the other way around..
David showing everyone, be humble, be honest and be yourself. Whatever it may be.
it's the only scene anyone remembers from the doc, and they are already making money off of it.
I'm an American who learned about Football(soccer) from my Irish grandmother. I knew about David growing up through his famous accolades but didn't watch him play regretfully. However, this Docusereis is one of the best I've ever seen, and I have a newfound respect and love for the Beckhams.
Watching David in interviews and other things in the later years, he's really struck me as someone who's really learned from his earlier places in life. He seems so intelligent, insightful and thoughtful. He has become a good man.
I know Fisher Stevens was in Short circuit and guest starred in Friends, but, his best roll is still as Marvin Gerrard, Raymond Reddingtons Lawyer in the Blacklist.
He also dated Michelle Pfeiffer at one time
This insight into the making is incredibly informative. Veritie! Mini masterclass 🙏
She was spoiled as hell & he called her out on her lies 😂
I don’t think it’s shocking that it was so popular. This was the absolute first time we ever got a glimpse into their relationship so closely. All we ever knew of them was paparazzi cameras and finely tuned interviews.
Glad to see that Fisher was able to pursue his Director career after being arrested by Columbo 35 years ago.
It was pure genius to include that scene at the very beginning. I was completely sucked in at that point!
Holy shit, it’s the ”because when you’re cool, the sun shines 24 hours a day” guy! 😎
Recent true antidote, in 2024 to celebrate their 25 wedding anniversary they wanted to book the venue in Ireland where they got married.
A young couple already had the venue booked for their wedding. The Beckhams through a third party respectfully asked them to move the date of their wedding and offered to pay all bills related to the new date. The couple declined, they then offered to fully pay for a wedding anywhere in the world. The couple again declined. Finally through the same third party they revealed who they were and they respectfully offered to pay all expenses, pay for their honeymoon, pay off their entire mortgage and give them a personal gift. The couple agreed. The Beckhams had their anniversary celebration and the couple had their entire wedding for over 150 people at the most expensive venue in Ireland and had their home paid for and they received personalized signed gifts from the Beckhams.
The couple tell anyone who asks that the Beckhams are ordinary, decent, down to earth people. They were respectful and deferential throughout the entire transaction.
It pissed you off? She was lying to everyone’s face! The only thing that saved the whole thing was him correcting her. She sounded tone deaf and what a liar. Thanks to David for he showed her the mirror.
Missed you. Amazing reading ❤
@variety you spelled Victoria wrong in title ❤
Did they really? This shit always reminds me of the response from Jodie Foster's intern when she scolded him for his horrific email. . .
I never cared about these two before I saw the show, now I think they are both a couple of sweethearts.
Didn't know that Fisher Stevens was involved.
I didn't know he dated Michelle Pfeiffer for a few years?
That’s the man who saved her from further embarrassment l, if people have found out what her dad was driving in 80s people would have called her liar and hoax. David kept her on ground and truthful.
That's how it is in England, if you lie or exaggerate we'll call you out. Being nice up front and then mean behind your back is just not how things are done.
What planet are you on. That is the British way. Incapable of saying what you think to peoples faces.
Y'all politely nod and then gossip behind people's back let's be real lmfao.
He made the moment by calling her out. She would have been ripped to shreds by the public and dragged through the mud by media, if he hadn't spoken up. She gets side-eye and eye-rolls out of this moment now, but it would have been mortifying for her if she had gone on about being working class when she wasn't.
i am 50 and in my teens my dad drove a new mercedes, still we had to work hard and i went to state school. so just cuz u have a fancy car doesn't mean you are not working class. i see loads of cashiers, secretaries etc buy Louis Vuitton handbags, probably had to saves months for one. I think she is working class regardless of what her dad drove her to school in
You’re just like her, working class people don’t drive a new Mercedes, if that’s working class then what class are poor people? You think your parents worked as hard as poor people? That’s the working class, those people at the bus stop you rode by in your Mercedes.

Dude, I had no idea Fisher Stevens directed. This might be an old reference, but he played one of my favorite characters in ‘Numb3rs,’ and because of that I get excited whenever I see him in anything 😃 I might have to check this documentary out 😄

Best Docuseries I've watched in a while
