Brooklyn Beckham addresses 'nepo baby' criticism in candid interview
Brooklyn Beckham has been in the spotlight since day dot. As the first child of power couple Davidand Victoria, the 25-year-old has long had to grapple with the pressures of growing up in the public eye.
In a new interview with Grazia, Brooklyn has now responded to criticism regarding his fame and privilege. Acknowledging his 'nepo baby' status, he admitted: "Obviously I am one. But I couldn't help how I was born, at all."
Responding to criticism, he went on to say: "There's always going to be people that say rubbish. But as long as you do something that makes you happy and you're kind to people, that's all that matters."
"I'm always gonna get it, no matter what I do. And I'm fine with that. It makes me work harder, because I’m like, I'm gonna prove these people wrong."
While Brooklyn has dabbled in a plethora of careers – namely football and photography – he's since pursued a career in the world of food, launching a new range of hot sauces.
He launched his brand, Cloud23, earlier this autumn after working behind-the-scenes for a period of three years.
