In the comfort of their home on Netflix’s new docuseries Beckham, David Beckham playfully takes a jab at his wife Victoria's description of her upbringing.
The scene has quickly become a standout moment of the series - which also revealed Beckham's relationship with his father was not always good - as viewers across the globe watch the former football star challenge Victoria’s ‘working-class’ claim with a cheeky yet pointed question about her childhood.
"Be honest," David prompts, leaning casually around the doorframe, triggering a back-and-forth that has caught the attention of social media enthusiasts and documentary viewers alike.

David’s retort, "Thank you," ends the amusing interrogation.
Social media buzzes with reactions
This domestic banter has set social media alight, with fans and critics alike chiming in on the vast difference between the claim of a working-class background and the reality of a childhood graced with such a fancy mode of transport. "David Beckham is the last remaining investigative journalist," quips one user, while another adds, "Should've been a barrister. Modern-day George Carman!"
The clip's viral spread showcases the audience’s delight in the Beckhams' playful rapport. It's not just the humor that's caught the public's attention, but the sincere peek it offers into the couple's relationship, one where even a global icon can't resist a gentle tease at his partner's expense.
From ‘Posh and Becks’ to just... parents
