David Beckhamis still one of football’s most recognizable faces around the world even though he retired over a decade ago. The formerReal Madrid and Manchester United player now owns MLS side Inter Miami, where he managed to sign current Ballon d’Or winner and World Champion Lionel Messi.
Recently, Becks starred in his own Netflix documentary, where he shed light on his life and career. More often than not, these kinds of shows exaggerate and glamourize life, however, it appears that Beckham’s docu is grounded in reality more than we thought.
Beckham’s former body guard speaks up
Former David and Victoria’s bodyguard Craig Ainsworth talked to The Daily Mail and revealed that the documentary is an ‘accurate depiction’ of their life’. He also stated that in the Beckham family, it is Victoria who is in charge.
I feel most women are in charge and just let us men feel like we’re in charge half the time. David and Victoria are both highly professional and have had so much security we’re like back- ground noise to them, we’re part of the furniture. David was charming.Victoria kept to herself, she would be with the kids or working, with the spotlight they have been under, their kids are well-behaved.
