Victoria Beckham Describes Filming 'Beckham' Docuseries As "Quite Liberating" And Lesson In Letting Go Of Control

Victoria Beckham called filming Netflix’s Beckham “quite liberating,” and honestly, that tracks. The four-part docuseries dropped in October 2023, and viewers didn’t just get glamour and good lighting, they got something rarer: the Beckhams in real life, with the kind of honesty that makes you feel like you’re eavesdropping on a family moment.

Here’s the complicated part, Victoria says she’s usually the one controlling the frame when she films. So letting cameras roll without gripping every detail was a real learning curve, especially with a marriage that spans 24 years and includes four kids, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper.

And once the doc hit, it didn’t just show their highs and lows, it changed how people approached them in the first place, which is a pretty big plot twist.

When Netflix's 'Beckham' dropped in October 2023, the world fell in love with David and Victoria Beckham in a whole new way.

That “controlling” mindset Victoria mentioned is exactly what makes <em>Beckham</em> feel so different, because you can tell she had to loosen the grip on how things looked and felt.

That “letting go” theme hits close to home with the woman hiding pregnancy news while her friend struggles to conceive.

Between the doc’s candid look at their 24-year marriage and the constant presence of Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper, the series is basically one long reminder that love comes with mess.

When Victoria said people used to be scared to approach her and David, you can practically see the shift happening right after the release.

Now, with fans coming up after the documentary and telling them they love it, the Beckhams feel less like a brand and more like a real family you want to root for.

Victoria says releasing the docuseries seems to have made them more approachable, which she enjoys. "People come up and they're like, 'We love the documentary,'" she said.

"Let me tell you, they used to be scared to approach," she continued. The series has certainly made Victoria and David more relatable to their fans than ever before.

It turns out the biggest “letting go” moment in <em>Beckham</em> might be the one that made Victoria and David more approachable.
