David Beckham 'portrays himself as the victim' in Netflix series, Rebecca Loos says

Does it matter what shirt he was wearing or exactly when David first met Victoria, or the lead up to a goal scored ?
it’s meant to be entertaining not a A level exam paper .

Not to you, obviously, and not to millions of others … :man_shrugging:

Believers will accept fiction as fact - the hagiography becomes the biography …:angel:

Of course, distorting the truth doesn’t necessarily do favours to those included (or excluded) … :thinking:

Posh stokes the fantasy:

David forced Victoria to admit that she was not from a working class family

Victoria was speaking about her upbringing in one clip and mentioned that she was very “working class”. But viewers saw that David was not prepared to let her misrepresentation go unnoticed. Opening the door of a room close by, David shouted: “Be honest”.

Victoria was happy to skip past her blunder but the former footballer was insistent. He asked her: “What car did your dad drive you to school in?” And as she attempted to answer his question in a non-direct way, he interrupted her to say: “No, one answer”.

And it was only after a few minutes of the exchange that Victoria revealed that her dad would drive her to school in a Rolls-Royce. No sooner had she come clean, David then said “thank you”.

Inverse snobbery from Posh in an attempt to establish the “rise from 'umble beginnings” myth … :roll_eyes:

I think you’re being over harsh
After all they did meet he did score the goal and does it matter if the film showed him wearing the wrong shirt for a particular match.
I actually enjoyed the scene where Beckham got Posh to fess up over her fathers Roller, very typical of husband and wife.
All all thought they were candid, I enjoyed it although it was over long .

NetFlix are delighted that millions enjoyed the Beckham fairy story - next, Posh does the Spice girls … but not necessarily warts’n’all … :fairy:
